Actually, there is. -------------------- [2021 WATTYS SCI FI WINNER🎉] [WATT-MULTIVERSE FEATURE] [HIGHEST RANK: #1 in LGBTPRIDE #4 in SCIENCE #12 in PLANET] Briar Black is not a good person, which has never bothered him, or anyone in 2399, at all. Until the government releases something huge: Planet B. A second chance. And all 10 billion people want it, but only 3 billion can go. So, the 2632 Exam: a year long test to see who deserves that second chance, and who does not. Briar thinks his shot is out the window, but when Theodore Maize-AKA a saint, AKA a definite candidate for Planet B-enters, Briar has a plan: Befriend Theo, get his spot, and say goodbye to his life on Earth for good. The plan comes with more than just meeting Theo, but meeting his world, and where it collides with Briar's: the ruthless reality of the rich, the pitying reality of the poor, the state of his dying world, the time ticking on all their fates, the mind of a bad person, the heart of a good person, and the rocky roads everyone takes to get there. One shot, one guy, one year, two planets. How hard could it be? [150-200,000 WORDS] [Content Warning: This story contains drug use, scenes of withdrawal, alcohol use, and violence.]
