Chapter 7 - Plastic Girl: Evolution

Day 1,175 - Spring After a Long Winter

The chapters of my Plastic Girl trilogy are titled as days of Eva’s discovery and interaction with a brand new species that will either bring humanity salvation or extinction. Chapter Seven is Day 1,175. It’s a short one. In this chapter, Iris awakes after a long and forced hibernation. Eva hopes she will forgive her, and that they can form a strong relationship, despite her betrayal.

Monster of the Week is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

If you need to catch up, all previous content is available on the homepage. The weekly chapters will range from 2 minutes to a 40 minute listen. Just depends on how long the chapter runs. Start with Day 1.

Iris stood knee deep in the water, the pieces of plastic jumped out of the water in perfect unison, latching and forming into the shapes she coaxed out of them. Each bee folded out its wings in unison, a magical synchronized dance.

A great deal of this series involves the connections that we form with our families that last long after they are gone, the connections we search for in others once lost. The rest of this series explores what might happen if our pollution and waste become part of us, and how Mother Nature might turn that connection into new life.

Again, if you would rather read the series, it is available on ebook, paperback, and hardcover from all online retailers. You can also order the books from your local bookstore or library, and they are available on my website www.wickedtreepress.com.

Monster of the Week
Plastic Girl Audiobook
Author Jessica Maison narrates a chapter a week from her ecopunk sci-fi trilogy, starting with the prequel novella, Plastic Girl: Evolution.
"Maison has crafted an enigmatic, surreal castaway tale that ultimately pays off with a suspenseful account of a fight for survival... An eerie and somewhat elusive SF tale that takes plastic recycling to the next level." - Kirkus Review
