The universe is at death's door. In the trillions upon trillions of years now written in the history of the cosmos, countless empires have passed into myth.

On a massive orbital ring encircling a black hole, the architects of which are unknown, humanity continues to rage against the dying of the light. Alexandra Lysander is the recently-coronated Queen of the Kingdom of Laria following the assassination of her mother. She takes sovereignty over an ancient empire mired in tradition and facing an uncertain future.

When a young sorcerous is tracked down and killed, Captain of the Guard Peter Wols works to understand the mysterious circumstances behind her appearance and her death. In doing so, he uncovers a secret that threatens to upend all that humanity claims to understand about the future- and the past.…

But this really is a serious issue, and I'm just here to help raise awareness with my own style. I would've written more, but the stories are limited to 500 words. This is exactly 500 words.Here's the link to the contest: https://www.wattpad.com/story/163475700-planetorplastic-writing-contest------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fusion was supposed to erase our problems. No more fossil fuels, no more global warming. Oil-fired power plants shut down. Carbon dioxide emissions were halved twice in less than a year.Now we had oil, and nothing to do with it. Except that wasn't true. We did have a use. One huge sink for the world's entire supply.Plastic.…

For two hundred years, insurrections and uprisings have been mercilessly crushed in the name of the greater good - in the name of Paragon.As Paragon spirals into a new depression and Carok's strength develops under the corruption and ignorance of Paragon's protectorate fleets, the fragile peace between the two galaxies is flung headlong into a critically unstable situation - a situation that it was never expected to endure.…
