Thrown

A SHORT STORY in the ExtraNormal Chronicles. Sometimes the prize is even bigger than your dreams. The biggest competition ever on the planet Nreim is ending with an energy battle in an arena packed with more people than 17-year-old Geery has seen in one place in her lifetime. She has beat out over 600 contestants to make the top three, an accomplishment she never expected. She's hardly allowed herself to dream of the prize—an assignment to Earth acting as a government agent. But now that she's at the top, she wants to win more than she thought possible. As she prepares for battle, she learns that the judging has been based on politics more than merit, and her arrogant competitor Graseph is slated to win before the energy spar even starts. Can Geery go up against a corrupt government and a competitor who doesn't mind cheating to actually win the competition? Thrown is a quick 15-minute read, introducing ExtraNormal, which is a combination of science fiction, romance, and adventure that you'll love. Watch for the relaunch of the 2nd edition of book one in November 2020. Thrown is a fun stand-alone short story.
