And humanity finally finds peace in the healing of planetary\u00a0wounds.<\/p>\n<p>With\u00a0plot-driven narratives\u00a0as lush and dynamic as the habitats they evoke,\u00a0<i>Feral Lines<\/i>\u00a0is an invitation to hear the call of the Earth unshackled from human\u00a0dominion.<\/p>\n<p>Submit your most inspiring and powerful tales of nature&#8217;s rebounding in no more than 500\u00a0words (including the title) by 30\u00a0September 2025.
