How Much Is It Worth? . Runner-Up in Tomorrow’s Utopia Challenge.

We Inherit The Sins of Our Fathers and Mothers
Jake was preparing to deliver his sales pitch to the UN. It was not what he thought he would ever do, but he did not have a choice. He had been driven to think the unthinkable, imagine the unimaginable, and deal with the unscrupulous, untenable movement of society, that had been based on false economy for over 100 years. He focused on his 3-minute presentation for Global Improvement Future Technologies, GIFT. They were being endorsed by the Forums on Sustainable Development, Climate Change and Human health.

The Assistant
Millie I am very lucky to live in this world. Mama taught me that over and over again, when I was growing up. She’d tell me all kinds of stories about people who didn’t have as much as we did. And how they almost wiped out the entire race. But the Omegas swooped in at the last minute and brought peace. Which is why, even Timothy at school is mean to me, I have to be nice to him, because he’s a future Omega. She also tells me he’s mean to me because he likes me. But I think she just says that to make me laugh. Mama can be very silly sometimes. But Papa says that’s just how women are. Which means he probably thinks I’m silly too.

The Genesis Utopia. Honorable Mention in Tomorrow’s Utopia Challenge.
Walter Robinson 5 waited with a wide smile as he stood behind three other clones in the checkout line, with a single pack of diet Oreos in his basket. To think that he got pulled off work just because his fat--his handsome supervisor had a sudden and understandable craving for Oreos but knew he needed to be healthy. Walter Robinson 5 should be feeling grateful that he got the opportunity to help his supervisor get food that would consume his calories.

Re-Greening The World.. Runner-Up in Future Fragments Challenge.
Water sloshed around my ankles, though that was nothing new. My parents told tales of a world where there was much more land above sea level, where the North and South poles were much larger than they are now. A world with clean air. A World Before.
