Chapter 8 - Plastic Girl: Evolution

Day 1,450

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 Eight is Day 1,450. In this chapter, As vegetation returns to their once barren island, the sisters explore the limitations to their strange and miraculous planet-healing power.

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.

Birds wouldn't fly if Iris built them alone, only insects. No matter how Iris tried and tried, she couldn't make flight work in her birds. All her birds could waddle, hop, glide, or swim, but they could never takeoff, fly, or soar.

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
