In a city floating among the clouds, life is spent fighting gravity. To end up on the surface of the Earth amongst enormous, roving clouds of carbon dioxide would be certain death. Yet no city can exist as an island in the sky; steel rusts and motors fail. Someone needs to be supplying the city with resources to repair or replace.

The Retrieval Corp is the best of the best. The best windsurfers, most resourceful engineers, the most creative salvagers. Together, these courageous few brave the surface and retrieve whatever the city needs.

Allisios Soliros has spent his life working towards joining the Retrieval Team. Now, with a coveted spot open, only one thing stands between him and his dream. His father. 

ONC Prompt 78: You begin to realize nothing is quite what it seems.
ONC Prompt 16: And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.

يا شبيهن للثريا في علاك  by rcixia

من وسط غابات الدُجى، في فصل الشتاء، حيث يتعانق الضباب مع أغصانٍ عارية كالأسرار، بدأتُ أنسج الخيال بحكايةٍ لا تتكرّر. لم تكن حكاية تُروى على لسان أحد، بل فيضٌ من الهواجيس، تسكّنت في داخلي زمنًا، حتى لفظها القلم كأنّه ينزف. في كل سطر، كانت الغابة تحكم قبضتها على الذاكرة، تسحبني إلى عمقٍ لا يُشبه إلا الحلم، حين يصبح كابوسًا. إنها حكاية وُلدت بين الغيهب، المنطلق من غابات الدُجى، والنيار المشتعل في أطرافها... بين السواد الذي يبتلع الأصوات، واللهب الذي يلتهم الظلال، بين الشرسة الصامتة، التي تسكن أعماق الأرض، والنار التي لا ترحم، حتى في رقتها. كأنّها صراعٌ أبديّ بين الغموض والنور، لا غالب فيه إلا الحكاية نفسها. ليست هذه الحكاية من زمنٍ معروف، ولا من مكانٍ مألوف. هي نثرُ هواجيس، لا تُروى بل تُنسج، لا تُكتب بل تتسرّب من بين السطور. حكاية تولد في الفراغ، وتعيش في الظل، لا تبحث عن منطق، بل عن شعورٍ يلامس الغياب. في حضرة الغابة، وفي غياب اليقين، تصبح كل فكرة مأوى، وكل رعشة قلم، احتمالًا لحقيقة لم تُكتشف بعد. فليست الحكاية ما نكتبه، بل ما يكتبه بنا، حين نستسلم للتيه الجميل، ونمضي بلا خريطة، سوى خفقة شعور دُجى

When her office burns down a successful editor must share a workspace with the most infuriating man alive or risk the promotion she's been working her entire career for. **** Chielozonam 'Elo' Williams is thriving. Not only does she have the job of her dreams she's about to make Acquiring Editor of PerfectRomance, the publishing imprint she's been working at for the past five years which would definitely prove to her judgmental father once and for all that he was wrong about her wasting her life away at a dead end job but she's also determined to enjoy the prime years of her youth. Endless fun and casual romps in the sheets are the name of the game. That is until the unthinkable happens. After Elo's building catches fire and burns down she has no choice but to share an office with the one person that makes her blood boil: Connor Price. Archenemies since their days at college Connor makes getting under her skin an art form with his well-timed scathing remarks and contemptible behavior. It's not long before they're locked in a battle of wits, neither willing to back down or give up. When they have to work together to acquire a potentially lucrative manuscript, they are forced to put aside their long-standing animosity for an adventure that will change everything they thought they knew about each other. PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION meets ANYONE BUT YOU meets THE HATING GAME in this contemporary rom-com about resilience, self-discovery and two sworn enemies who can't decide whether to kiss or kill each other. An ONC 2026 story inspired by prompt 40. You and your greatest enemy are struck by a curse that binds your lives together. The only way to survive is to share a kiss, but you would both rather face death than each other.
