My name is Athena, and I have a home by the sea. I'm a diver. Mostly as a hobby, in a way. I'm chasing a creature; a monster so terrifying it haunts my every dream. I've been following its trail, but it always eludes me. It always returns to the vast arms of the sea, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake. Somehow, it escapes me. Not this time. This time, I know I'll find it. This time, it's coming to me. =============================================== This is a short story for the #PlanetorPlastic writing contest hosted by National Geographic! I hope you enjoy!

All problems have a solution

What if there was one person left on Earth? This story is a dystopian narrative I wrote in English class. I liked it so much I wanted to put it up on here. It is about an environmental scientist that helped humanity leave earth, yet he was left behind. What will he do after so much deceit and betrayal?

I wrote this paper on a topic I feel is extremely important - animal testing. Animal testing is wrong and cruel, no creature deserves what these animals go through on a daily bases. My love for animals has driven me to make a difference, will you?

There is something in the air. It's hurting us. Our skins... Our eyes... We've never seen this before. The chaos it ensued. We can't step out of our homes. Wherever we found ourselves, that's where we had to stay. YOU CAN'T STEP OUT.... UNLESS YOU CALL DEATH ☠️ We started to drop--- for those of us outside at the time this unfortunate disaster happened. They started to drop one by one. But at least we just had to stay inside, right? Just till the government figures out what was causing this... insanity... But what if the dead started to rise??? That.... We can never... How do we run and coop ourselves up at the same time!? Worse--- The dead, their brains weren't dead. They were just like us, but some things about them--- heightenened! More especially, how long will we be cooped up without a cure? And if we are cured from being locked up, what about the air? How much does it affect other things exposed to it--- Water, food... How much do we depend on it--- the air? And how long will we last in the hands of our own? Both the dead, and perhaps, even worse--- the ones living, the ones who selfishly want to live.... and maybe that was all of us....

Nature's suffering

Emphysema is a type of chronic lung disease that causes shortness of breath. It is a kind of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and accelerates when exposed to air pollution. What Is Emphysema? Emphysema occurs when the linings of your lungs are damaged beyond repair. The tissues between the air sacs in your lungs form air pockets, which trap the air, making it difficult to breathe. Most people who have emphysema also have chronic bronchitis, which is an inflammation of the tubes that carry air to your lungs. What Causes Emphysema? The major contributing factors to Emphysema are: Long-term exposure to air pollution Smoking Chemicals, vehicular fumes, and dust According to a recent study by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), long-term exposure to airborne irritants due to rising levels of air pollution is a major cause of increased cases of Emphysema. Air Pollution and Emphysema: What Is The Link? Long-term exposure to air pollution has been linked with the progression of emphysema between 2000 and 2018 and is expected to rise alarmingly in the coming years. "The combined health effect of multiple air pollutants ̶ ozone, fine particles known as PM2.5, nitrogen oxides, and black carbon ̶ was greater than when the pollutants were assessed individually," said Bonnie Joubert, Ph.D., a scientific program director at NIEHS. Let's look at what each of these pollutants does to our respiratory health: Ozone and its Health Effects Ozone can be harmful if it is present at the ground-level atmosphere. It can trigger a variety of health problems, especially in children, the elderly, and pregnant women. As opposed to stratospheric ozone, which protects us from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun, ground-level ozone is formed by reactions from vehicular emissions, industrial boilers and power plants - making it harmful for our health.

The story of a child. PlanetOrPlastic.

Joanne lost her best friend to a draft by space fleet. Isolationist politics on Lathon are heating up. Joanne's daughter is into pilots, in the midst of it all. "Tweaked" (bioengineered) people are getting stigmatized -- or celebrated. And while they have more than enough to do with chaotic poliltics between themselves and the Alpha Reach Regime many want to break with ... they are about to discover Sevolites are real. And really good pilots, as well. Meanwhile, disillusioned nobleborn of the Sevolite empire finds his way into the middle of it, discovers "commoners" aren't always nice, and very much needs some Lathonite friends.

A collection of short nonsense I keep track of. (Just needed the word count really.)
