Earth isn't dying. It's changing.
Fed up with it's biggest destroyers, Earth has finally pulled the plug on human life. With the earth uninhabitable, the remaining humans must find their a new place to call home.
Earth's last standing government, Planet Earth Union, PEU, claims to have done it's best to negotiate a treaty with nearby planets, but to no avail.
On the verge of human extinction, PEU conveniently announces that they have found a uninhabited, but viable planet, that is safe and sustainable enough to accommodate Earth's remaining population. However, with Earth's limited population they can't afford to send the majority at once. So they select six candidates to survey their soon-to- be home planet-- a botanist, geologist, astronomer, geneticist/sociologist, survivalist, and an engineer to the newly discovered planet dubbed, Terra II. However, these six candidates start to question the real purpose of the expedition when they find more than they expected.

The Way It Is
I am not from this planet. Hell, I am technically not from this galaxy. However, that doesn't change the fact I am here now, and my job is to save what I can on this forsaken planet and what's left of its inhabitants. The problem is that not everyone wants to be saved. I know what you're thinking. You can't save those who don't want to be saved. I bloody well agree. The ones who sent me don't care what you or I think, though. All they care about is numbers. They need a certain success rate to continue to get funding for their "expeditions" and "peacekeeping" efforts. I use both terms loosely here. However, that's what they put on their records, and it's what sounds good and looks suitable to their investors. So this is the way it's going to be. So be it! Oh, did I forget to mention the Universe decided I was the lucky girl to help find the one person who could save us all from self-destruction? Yea, that is a shitty idea, but once again, no one cares what I think.Complete

Paradise Blight
The first terraformed world, Tau Ceti Four, was now ready for colonization. Some called it Paradise, and it seemed a fitting name. The initial conditions before the terraforming began were perfect, too perfect for botanist Mora Torr. Something was not right. Engineer Gan Finn came over with the other colonists on the Ark Hope ship. He, like Mora, was as much running away from an anguished past as seeking Paradise. But twelve light-years distance itself does not cure broken hearts. "So, are there any alien jubjub birds, bandersnatches, or jabberwocks around here I should be worried about?" Laughter rolled from her mouth at the Alice in Wonderland reference. "Oh, nothing like that. It's not the big scary creatures we should worry about, besides other humans that is, but the tiny ones. History has shown us that things like bacteria, virus, and small parasites are the real killers. The deadliest creature in all the human history is a mosquito with a pathogen." ** Re-edited ** ** Open Novella II - Short List and Ambassador Pick ** ** Wattpad Editor's Choice (January 2020) **Complete
