The government began to panic, causing hasty decisions and job cuts that effected people world wide.
But in 2060 a new law was put in place.
Child birth was banned and anyone who disobeyed was executed, along with their child.
It is now 2085 and Grace is 15 years old.
Will she be able to stay hidden and survive until this law is lifted?
Or will she be found and executed for the worst crime imaginable?

Clackers by Arundel2000
5 parts Complete
There is nothing as powerful in life as your first love. When this happens after clacking to a strange new world where people reverse age-let's say it's complicated. Demalynn is a seventeen-year-old girl from a small town who one day hears a loud 'clack' and is transported to the planet Saffire. Naked. Then things really get weird. No child has ever been born on Saffire; clackers make up the entire population. All people who clack under thirty reverse age: each year they grow younger. As an awkward teenager plagued by panic attacks who dabbles in comedy, Demalynn just wants to go home to be re-united with her family. Citizens over thirty grow old and are forced to mine the mineral that powers giant cooling stations to keep the planet habitable. Citizens solve disputes with gladiatorial combat. The prophesy of The Coming In Saffire's time of greatest need, a child will be born to a special woman, the Gravidarum. The child, who has no father of this planet, will be known as the Unum, a child to lead Saffire. The Helper will battle to keep the Gravidarum safe until the Unum is born. The people of Saffire have been waiting to see The Coming fulfilled. Demalynn assembles a group of clackers to get her home, the most important of which is a fellow clacker: eighteen-year-old Aiden. It is not long before Jago, the ruler of Saffire, learns that a woman on Saffire is pregnant and he unleashes all his power to prevent the birth. Jago will not give up power. Demalynn is surprised to find out she is the Helper, but is astounded to learn the identity of the Gravidarum. Demalynn must battle to stay alive and fumbles towards the realization that Aiden is much more than a close friend. She is certain, with the certainty that only a seventeen-year-old can possess, that Aiden is her only true love. Demalynn is desperate to find a way back home until she must make a choice: stay with Aiden on Saffire or go back home and re-unite her family. There's no place like home.

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)

It's 2053. Mankind has survived the greatest natural disasters, and the few million survivors have found shelter in a newly-formed island floating on the Atlantic Ocean, named 'Aneida.' Sixteen-year-old Naomi Wilkins, the only heir of the founding family, has forever been confined within the walls of her mansion and homeschooled; hence she has barely experienced the thousand magnificent facets Aneida has to offer. Her thirst to explore gets her into an unforeseen trouble, and she wakes up in an establishment hidden from the government, kidnapped by people who ... might not quite be humans. Secrets unfold, faces unveil, and Naomi finds herself in the middle of a war that might destroy their lives forever. Copyright © 2016 Mehnaz Tabassum. All Rights Reserved
