My first idea was to do something like this, but with a mother and son! I’m glad I went in a different direction. You are great with writing drama and I wouldn’t have wanted to have a similar story against yours! Good luck!

I hated this story. And then I kinda liked this story. And now I have no idea how I feel about this story. But it's done THANK GOD.

Something similar sounding to this was my first idea. Something about the cloud location spoke to sci - fi off-world colonies. 

Good title too.

Look forward to reading!

So many amazing ideas! It'll be an absolute privilege to read the stories this round, and a terrifying honor to compete with them. Good job, all!

We’ve been harvesting our water for those Earthsiders for years, and now it’s all dried up like spittle in the sun. Now us Cloudfolk gotta make a decision: to save them, or ourselves?
