New World

Hello listeners. On Storytellers today we have a science fiction story from the mind of Aditya Deshmukh.  New World “For the Martians, watching a dying Earth is entertainment. For Uru, their  cruel game is her only hope for life—a dark adventure from an  imagination that sees our world in its bleakest terms.” Scot Noel, owner of DreamForge Magazine. Welcome to New World! This story belongs to Allworld, Aditya Deshmukh's collection of stories that explores future worlds and the dynamics between them. New World is a series of short stories set in a dystopian world, where human civilization has won Mars but lost something in its pursuit of glory: humanity itself. Everything changed after the Shift. A small population found its heaven on Mars.  The rest were left behind to rot on a decaying Earth. Gray sky, the gray  ocean. Everything was dying. However, a flower called Uru bloomed in this gray sickness. And she dared see a beautiful dream of escape. Aditya  Deshmukh is an engineering student from India who likes exploring the mechanics of writing as much as he likes tinkering with machines. His ultimate dream is to help erase environmental problems (and perhaps also the people responsible for them) and become a cyborg (it’s either that and fight or be some robot freak’s pet). He writes dark fiction and is obsessed with space opera. He is published in over 70 anthologies and has a number of individual titles. His upcoming big work is Allworld, an  Indian space opera story spanning three trilogies and several novellas.
