WRITING OBSTACLE
Inspired by a.loki
Write a dialogue between friends occurring far in the future.
As well as vocabulary that might be invented in the future, think also about the communication styles and structures that might arise.
Future friends
[Scene: A holographic communication booth, connecting two friends, Zara on Mars and Leo on Europa, millions of kilometers apart.]
Zara: Leo, can you believe we're finally going to meet in person? I never thought I'd leave Mars!
Leo: I know, right? It's incredible what's possible now. Traveling between planets is just a regular thing here on Europa.
Zara: It still blows my mind! I mean, just a few decades ago, it was just a dream.
Leo: Tell me about it. And speaking of dreams, wait till you see the view from Europa's surface. It's like nothing you've ever seen on Mars.
Zara: I can't wait! But hey, how's life on Europa? I've heard you guys have these gravity-defying transportation pods now?
Leo: Oh, you have no idea. It's like floating through the air, except you're in a pod traveling at supersonic speeds! It's wild.
Zara: That sounds amazing! We're still stuck with those clunky rovers on Mars. But hey, at least we have those self-repairing habitats now.
Leo: True, true. And don't get me started on the food synthesizers here. You won't believe the flavors they can replicate!
Zara: I'm looking forward to trying them! But hey, speaking of food, I brought some Martian delicacies for you to try. Ever had Martian chocolate?
Leo: Martian chocolate? No way! I've heard it's out of this world. Literally.
Zara: You're in for a treat, my friend. And hey, after we meet, we should visit the biodome. They've got these incredible alien plants that glow in the dark!
Leo: Count me in! I've always wanted to see those. Anyway, the shuttle's about to land. I'll see you soon, Zara.
Zara: Can't wait, Leo! Safe travels. See you on Europa!
