Change. Change has always scared me, but isn’t that true of everyone? Besides, this was good change. Improvement was finally being made, the changes were visible—I could reach out and touch them. But, I couldn’t help but feel like the something would come crashing down.

I subconsciously darted my eyes towards the broad shouldered woman sitting on the park bench, swiping her thin, auburn coils fro...

How did I get here? This new fashion of life. When did everything become this way. I feel…. miserable here.

We thought everything would be better. They told us it would be and everything is, to them atleast. Life just isn’t the same for me.

Why am I the odd one out? This new world isn’t like the stories grandpa used to tell, Nothing like it at all.

There’s no bar fights and genuine woman like m...

Twelve hours of travel and Jazzie’s view outside the holo window of her AirTram looked much the same as when she set out early this morning. Tall, silvery domed skyscrapers stretched out for miles, past the horizon. Patches of green spread out among them (100 by 100 foot squares, as regulated by society ordinance) filled with all kinds of crops: corn, wheat, lentils, various orchards, vineyards. S...

Humans were not always like this. We use to be careless of our planet. Discarding of what we no longer whanted or needed, killing the plants growing from beneath the grounds soil. We were destroying the planet. Until years later a scientist by the name of Albert Clark, designed a new invention. An invention that could help us solve climate change, and save the planet. And now in today’s day to day...

Grandma had once told me about her childhood home.

It was a cozy, ranch-style house in what used to be the Midwest. She described having a huge garden planted below her bedroom window, and that she would watch her tomatoes and carrots everynight like clockwork, anxiously waiting for them to grow.

She would have to drive with her father in something called a “Ford” down to a nursey 30 whole minu...

Earth, is no more. At least, not the earth they tell us about in the historical records. Few photographs remain of the world before the Greenhouse Initiative. From what I’ve gathered the world was lush and green bursting with life and vegetation. Rivers stretched out like the veins of the earth and water fell from the sky, hydrating the soil of the ground. Sunlight kissed your skin with warm rays ...

I was just strolling through the park one late night taking in the fresh air and enjoying the cool breeze. The sound of the windmills slowly turning to the beat of the breeze was a soothing sound to enjoy while walking down the lightly lit pathway that ran alongside the river in the middle of town. The department of sanitation was almost gonna be put out of business because of the lack of trash ...

I am the only one here.

Each of us, sectioned off and quartered.

Each of us, assigned a city.

Each of us,

alone.

There was not enough space on the ships.

Many simply couldn’t handle the journey.

We unsuccessfully tried to recolonise.

We planted the seeds as instructed.

A worthless purpose.

I let out a heavy sigh.

We received transmissions from back home,

saw them on the video feed.

Overj...

The air was crisp and clean. A breeze played over her face. She sighed, content

If anyone were to tell her this place was all artifice, a manufactured facsimile of a world now lost, she wouldn’t believe them.

Tell me how this sky, these trees, this landscape is not real. It was the only reality she had ever known

Earth, the old earth, long since stripped bare and destroyed. Ancient history, no lo...

Part One

The streets were a lime green color, tall buildings with rooftoop gardens and lots of glass. People stroll around wearing recycled clothing. Cars run on plant based fuel. The city is pretty much perfect. No crime and no enemies. The government is fair and good. The only flaw is that no one can leave. And that was fine. Until one unfortunate day…...
