Howdy

This short story was originally written for a competition in sci-fi. I didn't go anywhere, but I'm still pretty proud so I decided to post it here.

This story falls into a world much like ours, but far in the future. Human emotions are no longer felt naturally, instead they are bought. Much like an energy drink.

This may become a string of short stories. Each depicting a different character with different struggles, but we'll see.

Minime {Original Version} by RandomStoriesHQ

- Ok, ok. I think I've dropped enough hints about the fact that I'm 'different'. I guess I should spill the beans. When I was born, I had a rare cancer- mum had told me this. She didn't tell me anything else about my birth, other than that the kemo therapy went wrong. The doctors were testing a new serum that didn't cooperate with my blood type. It did cure the cancer, but it had a side effect. The serum made my bones and muscles shrink down to about a tenth of their original size. I'm very small for my age, I have to say. I'm quite proud of myself though- I've grown half a millimetre so now I'm about the size of an artline pen. Amy Leebeck is your average 16 year old girl, apart from one tiny detail. She has grown up the size of a doll and faces the tough challenges of living at her size. When she was abducted by a boy fighting a lost cause, Amy thought that her pitiful existence was over. But as she gets to know her mysterious kidnapper, her dull and dreary life begins to unfold...

A Story By Chance by Nerak-Xeray

A new adventure awaits to those patient enough. But what about living the book you're reading? What about saving the world? A world? A life? What about learning magic? What about meeting a dragonness and talking mouse? What about dancing in a masquerade held only once every year? What about saving your best friend? And exploring the farthest confines of the Galaxy? What about living on a comet? On the Moon? On a futuristic world? Welcome to this new adventure, where each short story is based on nine random images. They might all seem disconnected at first, but are they really? I guess you'll get to find out along with me...

New Normal by evilALWAYS_wins

I learnt the hard way that wanting to be normal is just wishful thinking. More specifically when I found out who my dad really was. Then again, having a child while I was still a kid myself already sealed the deal on being anything but normal. But I was happy, for a moment. Until I was introduced to an entirely new world or worlds that I wish I wasnt apart of but now its impossible to avoid.

Collapse by SevenScribes

Each of us took this prompt: In a futuristic setting, technology is really advanced, but it slowly starts to turn against humanity, And made it our own--twisting it to create unique, individual stories that are no two alike. We hope you enjoy our work :) Sincerely, The Seven Scribes

An Infinity of Stars - SF Smackdown by TheOrangutan

The Only by gracieford

I lost myself somewhere between space and time. I repeated my name over and over, refusing to leave myself behind. But the more I decintigrated, the more of myself I lost, until everything, my name, Timmy's smile, even my parents were forgotten. I found nothing but black space and white silence. The longer I stayed, however, the more vivid the colors became, and then they began to take shape. After what felt like hours, I was myself again, strapped to a chair with Jesse materializing in front of me. I'm Stasey. When the aliens attacked Earth, myself, my best friend Jesse, and my "friend" Timothy may have been the only people to survive. We're on a quest to find other survivors and potentially save our planet, but to do that we have to avoid being shot, eaten, or falling in love. But sometimes things work out differently than we expect, and we have to make the decision: sacrifice ourselves for the ones we love, or the ones we love for the ones we can save.
