Description
A collection of short stories all of which take place in the far future, close to 200 million years in the future. Humans have long been gone and life has long since moved on, with a myriad of new fantastic forms having evolved. This new era of life is defined by the dominance of a lineage of fire-breathing animals that for simplicity's sake are referred to as dragons (none of which look like typical dragons and are actually evolved from mammals). The world has since been cooling, a factor which is partly responsible for the dragon's dominance. This cooling is due in part to the movement and current position of the continents but also because of the actions of the dragons (and certain other life forms) themselves. The Earth is currently and briefly saved from its near-snowball state by the splitting of Asia from Eurasia (nearly complete) that caused a shift in ocean currents and an increase in volcanism. The world is still much colder than it is today, but for the current denizens of our planet, this warming was enough to be the salvation of many species. DISCLAIMER: This is an active world building project and as such not all details in each story will accurately describe the animals present. I write these stories as I go and as inspiration strikes, so stories will be written infrequently and with only a few aspects of each story finalized, depending upon what I want the focus of the story to be in the interest of expanding my world.
