On this Long Winter’s Night, I offer, for your consideration, The OceanMaker.
After the seas have disappeared, a courageous pilot fights against vicious sky pirates for control of the last remaining source of water: the clouds. ~ mightycocunut.com
As a former aviator and student of aviation history, I enjoyed the recognizable but apocalyptically modified airframes while simultaneously cringing periodically at the Physics defying flight manoeuvres, but I can shelve my reality in the spirit of a good yarn, and I know you can too, else you wouldn’t be here.
All of the best science/speculative fiction takes a current condition and takes it to at least one illustrative extreme. Here, we have our heroic pilot desperately attempting to maintain a resource that other, more powerful interests, are hell bent on, quite literally, sucking dry.

are the same as freedom life giving … the price is high to keep them free.
