Hello, everyone. I won't be continuing this story. It's something I wanted to write a long time ago, but circumstances changed and I can't go on with it. I thought the first few chapters turned out pretty well, so I'm posting them here.
The law of the cosmic jungle has always been that big fish eat little fish, and little fish eat shrimp.
Mature space pirates are sharks. Underage pirates are... shark pups everyone wants to gobble up as quickly as possible.
A ship full of shark pups ends up stranded by accident in a metropolis. They have to find a way to survive for a year on an unfamiliar planet full of danger.
Moli is one year away from adulthood. As the oldest girl among the pups, she believes she's the most qualified to serve as acting captain of their pirate ship.
Notes:
1. Cyberpunk setting, not hard science fiction.
2. A first love between a boy and a girl, and a story of two people growing up.
3. Naive, crafty little troublemaker x free-spirited fun-seeker
Theme: Explore the vast world.
