WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a letter to a friend, from the perspective of someone living 100 years in the future.

What commonplace things might they mention that would surprise a reader now, and how can you use these to drive an interesting narrative?

To You 100 Years From Now.

Horror

To You 100 Years From Now,

If you are reading this…yes, I am, in fact, 100 years in the future. I have one request that will need to be made if you want to see the world prosper and not fail, YOU MUST DO THIS ONE THING. Before I ask you to do this task, let me explain what the world is like in 2124. Today’s world has had some great inventions; we are flying cars, which have been very convenient. The vehicles are still early inventions, so it will take some more years to perfect. The thing is that flying cars are pretty expensive, so there are still a lot of cars driving on land, but give it a couple of decades, and everyone will have flying cars. In perspective, flying cars are like what cypherpunks are for you all. Green technology has been a great thing for our society; it has helped minimize pollution, makes production processes easier and cleaner, and sustains resource management. Lastly, my favorite is Smart Home. This is going to sound crazy to you, but my house cooks, cleans, and takes care of my dog, and it doesn’t do a medical job but gets it done to the absolute t. Although it’s pretty expensive, it is worth it; it’s like having the greatest butler of all time. Even though what I’m saying may sound like what humanity is proposing, the truth is the world is about to end. My request to you is to SEEK JESUS. I wasn’t a believer in Jesus, nor did I believe in any religion, and boy, was I wrong. There is a book in the Bible, the last book of the Bible, named Revelation. It talks about the “end times” and what will happen before and after, and I’m seeing it unfold constantly. During the “end time,” there is a certain person who appears named the “Antichrist,” who will become a political leader, performing miracles and creating a “false peace.” I missed many signs of the end time, but this one I caught was too obvious not to miss. That’s when I fell to my knees and asked God for mercy, I confessed my sins to Jesus and asked him to forgive my sins. I took many religion classes in college, so I was very familiar with the Bible and its story, but I never gave it importance outside of school. I’m warning you that the world you and I live in is not the world we should be worried about, but it’s about where we are going afterward. Heaven or Hell.
