Science Fiction

Woodnuts

Desperate for credits, a punch-burn laborer joins a hazard crew harvesting psychoactive sap from the forests of Jatar. Seduced by whispers from the ancient trees, he’s lured into the deep woods and consumed by the forest’s memories, witnessing the terraforming of the planet at the hands of ancient humans, the rise of a paradise on a once barren world, and humanity’s ultimate destruction by the very ecosystem they engineered.
