It is the year 2025. Before a baby is born, it's mother and father are both tested on their ability to raise the baby from birth. If they fail, then the baby is taken from the womb and sent to Children's Market where they can be bought from better suited parents. Since the Children's Market receives more children than it can take, they kill off all kids when they reach the age of Sixteen. The whole process is similar to a dog pound; after a dog is rejected many times and not bought, it is put down. Fifteen year old Kourtney Bell has accepted her fate after not being bought for so long. In two weeks she is to be strapped to a chair and given an injection that will ultimately end her life, making her a Forgotten. Will someone purchase her before it's too late?

❖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.
