Entropia
Series 01 / Sci-FiEntropia is a collection of short sci-fi stories that span millennia. The stories, while bound by genre and general location, are not in any particular chronological order, nor written as one continuous tale.
So, reader, enjoy each of these pocket-size strands of yarn on their own, or as a skein if you so choose to, but know this: Entropia is a puzzle whose scattered pieces will take time to find their place, if ever.
They thought our planet was empty and disposable. They were wrong.
Their actions sterilised our world and although they remain nameless shadows, we haven’t forgotten. We haven’t forgiven.
We were born in the lifeless aftermath, we evolved. Now, we hunt for the truth, and for those responsible.
We are coming.
When the first nuclear fire bloomed over what used to be my hometown, I knew I was too late.
Some say it was the SCA with their obsessive need for more, most swear it was the Traditionalists, those relic-huggers clinging to the past like it ever kept anyone safe.
Truth is, I know who pulled the trigger.
My name is Yulia, and I have been instrumental in our apocalypse.
Every fifty years we wake. Our job is simple: check the ship, check the cargo dreaming in its belly, and put ourselves back to sleep. We thought that by the end of the third cycle we would be home, our new world waiting for us. We were wrong.
The ship still runs, the twenty thousand we are shepherding still dream, and outside there is nothing but the darkness of the void.
We are the only ones awake. And we do not know if we are lost…or if we were never meant to arrive.
