PROTOGENESIS: When Stars Fall
"The universe is just like a stage, and every star an actor. Huge potential shines within each and every one, but renders useless if appreciated by none." Yvaine and Cloud set out on a celestial journey to explore a life of their own - a life where they make their own choices and write their own stories. Yet, freedom in the present could never sever the ethereal ties to the past. Like echoes of dying stars, memories of what once lingered continues to shadow their thoughts, only limiting their destination. However, as time goes by, realizations are made, and the truth unfolds. Escaping was never the answer. And although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start now and make a brand new ending. Join as Yvaine and Cloud unlock their true potential which have been bound by the chains of their past for far too long. New moments are encountered, new friends are made; a life is born, a story is written.
Europa
In order to embark on a mission to discover alien life on the icy moon of Jupiter Maria must leave her life on Earth behind, including her father and her seven-year-old son Diego. She thought the hardest part of the mission would be saying goodbye, but little does she know what awaits her and her crew on Europa, an environment that has never been explored from the surface until this mission. Perhaps alien life was never meant to be explored by humans... Will she fulfill her promise to her father and son to make it home alive, or will she fail to make good on that promise like her mother did when she was a little girl? Note: This story was written during a challenge to write an entire book in one week! I vlogged the whole process on my YouTube channel (Patrick Procrastinates Writing), my Instagram (@memesforwriters), and my TikTok (@memes4writers). Be sure to check those out if you want a behind the scenes on my writing process behind this project! I will continue to work on Europa, but I will not update this version as it shows what I was able to accomplish in the seven days of the challenge.
