For @ScienceFiction 's Anniversary Challenge, we had to produce a 10K story.

PROMPT: 'Inhabitants of Earth must take to the stars in order for the human race to survive. To remain would involve certain extinction. Where they go, what they encounter on the way, who and what they find at their destination is entirely up to you!'

For this one I took a nostalgic approach, and went with some World War II alternate history! Ultimately, I tried to pay homage to one of Science Fiction's greats, Phillip K. Dick.

Literary Warning - the narrative contains both American English and English English due to the split setting ;)

PS, I've added some dramatic YouTube audio - earphones, earplugs, and headphones advised - as is a PC/Laptop!

Enjoy ^_^

The Hawaiian Special Forces

69 parts Complete Mature

This is the story I'm writing for NaNoWriMo 2015. The goal: 50,000 word RAW draft written entirely in the month of November. Unlike most of my stories, which I prefer to edit before posting, I'm actually going to post updates to this at the end of each day in chapter-sized chunks. The idea behind this story is that a terrorist attack in the near future causes the US to go hyper-isolationist, to the point that it abandons Hawaii and Alaska to fend for themselves. They do, forming the United Pacific States (maybe with a few other island countries). Hawaii then goes on to turn itself into the new world police with stealthy, genetically modified cyber-soldiers. I'm marking this story as mature because there will be action scenes, and probably some interesting perspectives on nudity and relationships. I'm not planning on anything explicit, but this won't be a kids book. Validated winner at 50,040 words!
