In a time of distress on Earth, where do they turn to? Space. Scientists searched in thousands of solar systems for planets in a Goldilocks zone, sending representatives to each planet to search the unknown and report back in five years and tell if the planet is fit for human life. What the humans don't consider are the effects when someone tries to expand beyond the atmosphere into unknown worlds.

On the other side of the universe, an unknown species commits a genocide to a planet that was home for millions. In an attempt to save their species, a man puts a young child, Stella Trill, into a small pod ship that will bring her to another planet to hide and grow up alone. The three year old spends seven years alone on this new planet: Kepler-22b. Then in her tenth year, her lonely  life isn't so lonely anymore.

*Kepler-22b is an actual planet that has the potential to sustain life*

❖2021 Watty Awards Shortlist❖ Kevin was just a normal 10 year old kid until he saw a woman vanish right before his eyes. This made Kevin just a little bit different. He paid more attention to people now. Little did he know that this little difference would kill him the next time he encountered another alien about to return home. It would tear him apart, cell by cell, until he was unmade. His mind being transported away. --- So distantly far away there is a race that advanced to the point where they built dyson spheres to house their civilizations. In their continual expansion, they seeded galaxies with pods and connection satellites. Over time they upgraded their dyson spheres into matryoshka brain Cores. Imagine a computer powered by a star. Citizens of Cores no longer age once they upload their minds into the virtual living system of the Core. While they didn't age, most still choose to cycle through life and death though at a different scale of time compared to our lives. Citizens can visit other planets and live there as if they were on a "vacation". Mercury is Earth's hub connected to the closest Core and Earth is a remote vacation spot for wealthy citizens. When the main character was 10 he witnessed a citizen returning to the Core. The story continues 10 odd years later when he again witnesses a similar situation unfolding and manages to touch the person returning to the Core. This causes him to be swept up in the transfer as well and for his mind to join as a "Guest" user of the Core. As a Guest he has limited powers, a starting balance of zero cr or Citizen credits, and no idea how he can get home. He is the first human to ever become a Guest of a Core. Where money itself is the highest form of their science.

Planets on Earth!? 😧

25 parts Ongoing

The planets were all doing what they usually did. Sun talking with Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars playing solar cards, Jupiter and Saturn talking, Uranus writing in his diary, Neptune talking to asteroids, etc. that was until, they all passed out. Edit sep 10: This story is mostly centered around Neptune and Uranus with occasional switches to other planets, for example, earth, venus, moons, etc. If you don't like those 2 very much, that's fine, just don't leave a hate comment or anything. Thank you <3
