Green Myths and Soft Futures

A quiet act of resistance in four stories and a poem

What does it mean to imagine gently?

In a near-future world where even creativity has a carbon cost, storytelling becomes survival. This evocative collection of speculative short fiction explores the quiet intersections of memory, resistance, and ecological constraint.

Inside, you’ll find:

🕯️ The Carbon Cost of Imagination — A writer finds some stories take root better in soil than online.

📚 The Last Read — A citizen spends her final carbon credits on a story she may never forget.

🌳 The Dream Proxy — A machine dreams on behalf of a forest slowly losing its memory.

🌿 The Moss Poet — A rebel inscribes verses in living moss to evade surveillance and emissions.

✨ Soft Futures — A closing poem that weaves the collection into a tender, defiant myth of survival.

These are not grand epics.

They are small, survivable stories.

Tales written in moss, in breath, in silence.

Perfect for solarpunk-lovers and heartfelt fiction 💚
