My entry for the Future Library Contest, for the prompt "This is 2114". All who read, I hope you enjoy my imaginings of the future!

Hello 2114. I can only hope we have survived up to now, and the world is much better than it was so long ago. Here's some advice, but I can guarantee you that if the world is in horrible shape, it will be too late to salvage.

This is 2114, and the world is perfect. At the age of 23, every citizen receives The Fountain - and injection that prevents ageing. There is no hunger, no pain, and no death. But what has been lost along the way? When Adie, 22, and on the brink of immortality, visits The Book Museum, she meets a strange woman with an even stranger secret, who might just change the way she feels about...everything. This is an entry for the Margaret Atwood #futurelibrary contest.

Future Library

For the Dear 2114 #FutureLibrary contest. Based on the prompt "Write a story about the advice you would give the world in 2114?"

Azrah, a 12 year old Pakistani girl trapped in a country so war-spoiled that the air is unbreathable, is given a book for her 13th birthday. This book isn't like the ones hidden in her Mother's room or the ones that she uses in school, this one is from the far past. Scribbler Moon. Azrah doesn't know it, but that book will change everything, even when a repeating tragedy happens in Azrah's life. It'll teach her forgiveness, and show her what the world was like before 2114.

There was a time when murder was commonplace, even mundane. Luckily the class of 2114 can't imagine such horrors, but Agatha will have to. Wrote this in a very short time for Margaret Atwood's Future Library challenge, hope you like it, feedback would be very welcome!
