A CliFi short story.

Imagine a place where there is a searing thousand mile desert that runs to a sea...
...a sea that one hundred miles off shore is so cold you die within a minute if you fall in.
Five hundred miles to the south of the sea is a frozen landscape in perpetual winter...
... a place that is always snowed on and that frequently calves monster icebergs.

Hardly anywhere on land is safe; little life survives.
The last refuge of mankind are the Stilt Cities, floating in the middle of the ocean.

To the north are the Desert Domes: the last farms, protecting plants from the intense heat and sand.
To the south the Ice Quarries: the last supply of fresh, cooling water.

A current system moves strongly along the divide of heat and cold, but rarely over it.
You, however, move across it like a metronome... tick... tick... tick...

...and as the prison ship Destiny plies the waves, a secretive cult have a strange request of the Captain.

I Would Have Loved to Play Against Virat Kohli, Shares Ian Botham

Legendary England all-rounder Ian Botham has recently revealed his wish where he said that he would have loved to play against Indian captain Virat Kohli. He also said that Kohli is the right person to lead the Indian cricket team.While speaking in an online chat session with Playwrite Foundation, Ian Botham was quoted as saying by the Times of India: "Virat takes the game to the opposition, he takes a stand for his players. I would have loved to play against him. He is the right guy to take Indian cricket forward."He even shared his views on all-rounders as well when he was asked about all-rounders in modern-day cricket. He said that all-rounders can't be manufactured and also they don't grow on trees. It's their hard work and for an all-rounder the workload is double and it certainly takes a toll on the body too.The veteran said, "Just imagine Kapil... the amount of bowling he did on those Indian pitches, which had very little to offer, that too in the scorching heat of Chennai and Delhi. I can't see anyone in the present generation being able to do that."Ian Botham also rated England all-rounder Ben Stokes higher than Andrew Flintoff, citing the 2019 World Cup and Ashes hero is like him. Stokes had a wonderful year at first in the ICC Cricket World Cup and then in the Ashes. In both cases, he single-handedly fought for the side and won as well. His all-round ability has made him one of the key members of the team which won their maiden World Cup title last year."Ben (Stokes) is better than a mile to Freddy. Ben Stokes is the closest version of me, he plays like me with his heart on his sleeve. Flintoff was good but Stokes is just exceptional. He is the best cricketer in the world now," he concluded.To stay updated with all the Cricket News, Live Score, Cricket Match Prediction, Match Analysis, and much more interesting blogs, follow Cricadium.
