There's an apocryphal  story about Henry Ford's first few lines of cars. Legend has it, Ford once sent his designers out to the junkyard to see what was left of the first few cars that had rolled off the line years earlier. The designers sifted through rubble and found a single part, a gear or a bearing, who can say, that unlike the rest of the car was virtually ravaged by time. When the designers brought it back, Ford's response was unambiguous. 

"Make this part fall apart with the rest of the car."

Fossil is a story about that part, a stubborn piece that refused to break down when it was supposed to, and what happens when it lives to see a world where the next car rolls off the line.


This story takes place in the same universe as my short comic "Returning" written by me and with art by Devin Kraft. You can find that story at the following link: http://spacegunstudios.tumblr.com/post/41438445025/returning-by-jake-ekiss-writer-devin-kraft

War for Change by Colby101001
36 parts Complete Mature
Humanity used to thrive in 2035 until a group of scientists started playing God. This science team was recruited by all the top world leaders and they've begun receiving demands for a super soldier, and they began experimenting on animals, which gave the scientists expected results, but like all experiments, there was a chance for failure. The humanoid animals, or Anthros for short, started getting smarter, faster than the scientists expected, or reacted. The Anthros broke free and took what was left of the 'White Mist,' the substance that created them, and put it into the planet's air supply. Long story short, most animals worldwide have begun transforming into Anthros, and started devastating the world's militaries before attacking cities. Humanity is now facing extinction with their last millions while the Anthro civilization is over 2 Billion strong and counting. The war between Humans and Anthros has lasted for over 50 years, and while humans may be disadvantaged against the Anthros higher strength, speed, endurance, and intelligence, they still beat Anthros with improvisation, adaptability, and tactics. The war has destroyed all four Eastern continents, leaving behind a creature both Humans and Anthros call Reapers, who are husks of the person they were. The Anthros have near complete control over North America and are fighting Humanity in South America, but the main human bases are located on the Hawaiian islands. With death seeming inevitable for human kind, can nothing stop humanity from extinction? Zero has just graduated from high school with good marks and a scholarship. His family wanted to celebrate, so they said they would wait for him. He went back to grab his wallet, and as he turned around, he started falling in a wormhole, closing afterwards. (This is my first story, and the art seen does not belong to me.) (Book 1 of War series)

Latitude: 40 degrees 6.80'n Longitude: 172 degrees 23.84'w Location: Pacific Ocean "This is agent Leland Turbo, I have a flash transmission for Finn McMissle. Finn my cover has been compromised. Everything's gone pear shaped. You won't believe what I found out here. This is bigger than anything we've ever seen, and no one knows it exist. Finn, I need backup, but don't call the cavalry, it could blow the operation. And be careful. It's not safe out here." "Let's go!" "Transmitting me grids now. Good luck." [If you don't like Cars 2 then don't read this book, I don't need constructive criticism. I made the books for fun, not for it to be judged. The only thing I want to know from you, is how much you love it, and not how much you hate it. Thank you. Creating the second movie with humans will be a difficult challenge but this is connected with the first book, instead of McQueen and the reader getting closer like in the first one, this story is about the reader's relationship with her father. I'm not telling you who he is, you'll have to figure out that yourself until the chapter comes out. Which I hope won't be long. I've been taking notes on the key details in the movies that are helpful and have done research on things that might have the movie if they were humans, the words in the story maybe different but it's still the same thing. Both Lightning McQueen and the reader are now 23 and 22 years old. The movie takes four years later after the first movie.
