Just
because she’s confined to the planet, doesn’t mean she can’t reach for the stars.
2788.
Only the handicapped live on Earth. Eighteen-year-old Jarra is among the one in
a thousand people born with an immune system that cannot survive on other
planets. Sent to Earth at birth to save her life, she has been abandoned by her
parents. She can’t travel to other worlds, but she can watch their vids, and
she knows all the jokes they make. She’s an “ape,” a “throwback” . . . but this
is one ape girl who won’t give in.
Jarra
crafts a fake military background for herself and joins a class of norms who
are on Earth for a year of practical history studies excavating the dangerous
ruins of the old cities. She wants to see their faces when they find out they’ve
been fooled into thinking an ape girl was a norm. She isn’t expecting to make
friends with the enemy, to risk her life to save norms, or to fall in love.
Coming March 2013

ReplyDeleteHI John,
ReplyDeleteHimitsuhana does incredible work. My designer, Nicole, found her, and then looking through a portfolio I saw an image of a girl with the moon that was very similar to this. I knew it was what I wanted, but she did a new photo shoot for this piece. I"m very proud of how it came out.
This looks great! Can't wait to read it.
