#PlanetOrPlastic National Geographic entry. A small bungalow stands alone amidst an endless sand horizon. Its once brightly painted shingles look as though they have become bone; bleached by the sun and smoothed through decades of sandstorms...

Avani looked at the pizza store in front of her. Many passed by her, giving her glares and weird looks but Avani didn't care. All she could think about was food. And how her own step-mother disowned her. And the nurse's horrified face. And how warm her toes would be if she had just one match. Sighing, she walked to her corner around the garbage dump of a random store and laid down. She shut her eyes, not wanting to open them ever again. -ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Avani was just an ordinary girl, living in an ordinary life That is until she started barfing up garbage, oil, and plastic. Her own step-family left her with no money, no water, nothing to survive. No one wanted her, especially if she was a freak. Pollution, pollution, and pollution. How can you stop that? There's no way. But then, a shiny object dropped from the sky, and that was the answer to her question. But she had a weakness. And that weakness will bring her down, it'll destroy her inside and out. If she doesn't learn to control it, it'll control her. But there was something she didn't get. How will she save the world if she couldn't even save herself? »»----------------------«« ~(TEL)The Elements of Life series: 1~ A mix of Fantasy and Mystery Impressive rankings: #1- ecosystem (05/01/20) #3- shawrocketprize (04/25/20) #1 - saveourplanet (05/14/20) #5 - pollution (01/15/21) #1- shawrocketprize (06/17/20) Awards won: Orca Awards 2020, 3rd place in fantasy

***The Corner Booth Contest Runner-Up*** WARNING: contains one blue-eyed stranger, one fast-talking heroine, and a couple of scenes steamier than a mirage at noon. Throw in gigantic dust storms, lawmen out for blood, plus a wasteland to be traversed and you are in for an adventure sultrier than the desert sun! You would think May was living in paradise. After all, a gorgeous man just showed up on her porch willing to do anything she asks of him. But this is no paradise. May lives in a world settled by technology-rejecting idealists wishing to live in harmony with the land. That land, however, has not been very cooperative. The desert in the heart of the planet is spreading outward at an alarming pace, swallowing anything that gets in its way. And May? She's in its way, all right! Alone on her parents' dying farm, May has two goats, a shotgun, and a whole lot of dust. That's about all she has, until the day Ro shows up. Ro brings with him a secret most of their world isn't ready to face. The lawmen on his tail will do whatever it takes, including murder, to keep that secret buried in the desert sand. If they don't succeed in killing May and Ro, no matter: the desert might just do the job for them.
