Climate Stories

17 + SEARCHING: Stories of Hope for Struggling Teens Twenty-eight 17 year olds from around the world. Each one doing everything they think they're supposed to do. Each one struggling with anxiety, depression, loneliness, identity, purpose. And the overwhelming question: What am I supposed to do with my life? From Seoul to São Paulo, Lagos to London, these teens face climate anxiety, mental health challenges, AI uncertainty, social media pressure, and the deep fear that everyone else has it figured out-except them. If you've ever felt lost despite trying your best, if you're searching for meaning when everyone expects you to have all the answers, if you need reassurance that you're not alone in feeling overwhelmed-these stories are for you. Real struggles. Global perspectives. Inspiring journeys of self-discovery that remind you: it's okay not to have it all figured out yet. You're not alone. You're just searching. And that's exactly where you're supposed to be. - Steven Likomba

Earth has fallen. When the planet crosses its final climate tipping point, temperatures rise, crops fail, and billions are forced onto the move. Diplomacy gives way to ultimatums, then to war. From unassuming laboratories to streets drowning in heat and hunger, a fractured world stumbles toward its final reckoning. As famine and conflict spread, international order dissolves into violence and blame, and armies march north through ruins chasing a future that no longer exists. Yet amid the despair, a radical plan takes shape to move a fragment of humanity to the red sands of Mars. As Earth burns and the heavens fill with refugees, one truth becomes unavoidable: the future belongs only to those willing to sacrifice everything. In the chaos of the apocalypse, a new kind of security service is needed to enforce order where nations have failed. From the ashes of Old Earth, the Sunguard rises. Scorched Earth is a sweeping hard-science epic about collapse, survival, and the cost of choosing a future when the present is already lost.

Picture this: an eco-tower covered in lush, vertical gardens. Fruit trees, flowers, and vegetables on every level, bees and butterflies flitting between. Community kitchens prepare shared meals. Small robots scrub and vacuum. Gorgeous forests stretch for miles. Artists and inventors of every sort thrive. Love fills your life. Welcome to The Sink. It's wonderful here.

When Amelia Swanson was four, her parents were murdered. The killer was never caught. Twelve years later, something opens a door to her past. It doesn't offer Amelia any answers - only more questions. Dangerous questions. ...The kind people have died for. Now Amelia and her best friend Marv are being hunted. By a system built to suppress the past. By people who have killed to keep secrets buried. And by something dark that stalks her dreams-something that knows her name. As the net tightens around them, Amelia realises they aren't the only ones searching. Everyone is circling the same hidden conspiracy. Politicians. Journalists. Scientists. Secret societies. Resistance cells. Assassins. Amelia begins to understand the truth she was never meant to find: her parents weren't random victims. They were players in a hidden game. And she just stepped onto the board. ------ What to expect from The Hidden game: - A conspiracy thriller with underlying psychological horror elements. - A slow-burn investigation that constantly escalates into real danger and a large conspiracy. - A surveillance-state dystopia and critique of both systemic and algorithmic power. - Layered mysteries where every answer creates new questions. - The story has a strong focus on found family and fiercely loyal friendships. Content warning: parental death (past/flashback), trauma and PTSD, nightmares, occasional violence and death (no gore), and pervasive surveillance themes. ------ Release schedule: I'm aiming to release a new chapters every 10-14 days with short breaks (2-4 weeks) between seasons. Current status: Book 1, Season 1 complete (20 Transmissions, ~60k words). Season 2 is underway and the hunt is active. Planned scope: a trilogy of books split across 9 seasons (approximately 750k words).

"We are all in this together." The claim was heard, read, sung and repeated many times during the COVID-19 Pandemic. But how together were we? In this book, I will try and put together the stories of real people from many places around the world into poems I've written during the Pandemic. I am happy to share this with you all, and I hope it inspires you, helping in any way poetry can help. Thanks for reading! Daniel.

Multiple mysterious stories

Small stories about seemingly insignificant people around the world. But sometimes the strongest and toughest or the sweetest and kindest people are those out of sight and in the shadows. They fight battles no one knows about. Sometimes they have the most interesting lives, wether good or bad. No one gives them much thought. They live in the periphery. This book is dedicated to them. Partly based on true stories. #279 in Short Story (20/05-15) #290 in Short Story (17/05-15)

Living in a nearly broken world is much more than surviving in it. Just because you're speaking up, it doesn't mean you're essentially heard. Lessons that every child in 2050 knows very well. Despite this, some of them still dare to scream. And even fewer of those dare to fight. ------ This short story was created during a project for my english class, which is why I decided on keeping it in that language.
