The Aliens Stole Every Pearl on Earth — One Old Diver Kept the Last One

The aliens stole every pearl on Earth — every oyster, every necklace, every single one. They said pearls were the galaxy's tears, and Earth had no right to keep them. But old Nia, who dove for pearls for sixty years, kept one last pearl hidden in her palm. At dawn she held it to the morning sun — it glowed, warm and alive, and the Pearl Court fell silent. By sunset, every stolen pearl had swum home. Try to steal that. A sci-fi short story about humanity, the sea, and the one treasure no machine could ever make.
