#PlanetOrPlastic 500 word short story contest entry with @NationalGeographic
cover & story description by me
(Entry for @sciencefiction contest)
It has been 20,500 years since we left. It was coming. So we prepared. The space cruiser departed Earth in search of a new hope, a new planet. Of course we failed. Countless worlds were surveyed, but not one could hold human life. So, now we are back. We are home.
But this is not the planet we left.
