Speculative stories for possible futures
Dana Klisanin’s short fiction for One Day in 2050 explores ecological imagination, migration, memory, consciousness, and the stories humans tell about the futures they are willing to create.
These pieces sit at the intersection of speculative fiction, futures thinking, psychology, and the more-than-human world.
Fiction as futures inquiry.
Across these stories, Dana uses speculative fiction as a way to ask deeper questions about climate change, ecological belonging, displacement, memory, and moral imagination.
Rather than predicting the future, the stories invite readers to feel into possible worlds — and consider how human choices, myths, and relationships with the living world shape what comes next.
Re-membering Our Souls
Published in Clima Utopyas: One Day in 2050, “Re-membering Our Souls” explores ecological imagination, memory, and the human longing to recover a more whole relationship with the living world.
The story reflects Dana’s larger body of work on consciousness, futures, nature connection, and the restoration of human capacities in an age of disruption.
