A New Earth – (ILLUSTRATED)

Tonight I pasted into an AI prompt some excerpts from my cli-fi fantasy eco-thriller “A New Earth”. Here’s what it produced:

Five minutes later, and the blue Northern Lights had entered John’s living room.  Undulating slowly, sometimes speeding up, they hovered above him on the ceiling for a bit, before heading for the door.  The entire door lit up in blue

Laser beams in crimson red, lime yellow and turquoise blue were sweeping back and forth on the beach

John spotted a photographer pausing next to a leaning building that was half-submerged in the quicksand.  He looked confused, as he wondered how to best capture the scene.

He closed his eyes as he brought a low-hanging branch close to his face and took a deep breath.  He imagined the scent as it diffused in the summer air, rising above the buildings, expanding into the air as it became fainter and fainter

He turned his head around to scan the horizon.  He suddenly realized that he was all alone in an endless, bioluminescent wonderland in the middle of the ocean.

For a group of scientists who had spent their life studying the inner workings of a planet, the realization that the system itself that they were studying may have changed so dramatically, was unnerving.

This drawing was vibrating all over, and everything in it seemed to be in constant motion: there were hundreds of tiny wavy lines going around in a circle, like little sea waves in a child’s drawing – although they could also be interpreted as small DNA double-helixes.

Her brain was beginning to complete the colors:  a greyish blue ocean, with rain droplets falling on it, creating even more ripples and vibrations on the surface.  Up above, a darker sky with thick cotton-like smoky clouds gathering menacingly.  Between the smudges, a clear black sky appeared where stars seemed to sparkle

The drones were still bringing in hundreds of people from all around the disaster zone that spanned at least half of the city.  It looked like the shelter might soon reach capacity.
