http://armchairhorrortales.com Planet S The year is 2754: The population of earth has called for a new form of pioneer. There is nothing more to discover on earth, with what is left of animal and plant life, its now fully protected. Pets are scarce, as to own one is so far out of price range, you need to be making three hundred thousand a year, most citizens live well below poverty line and bring home a pay of eighty thousand per year.
You must be ready to give up the pets offspring so as they are used to feed the hungry masses. To kill an animal whether it lives in the wild or a domestic beast will see you serving up to thirty years in jail.Culling can only be done with government authority. Whales are now extinct along with seventy percent of ocean life. Most African animals are only seen stuffed in museums, you are shown holographic images on how they lived and hunted.
The air is polluted to the point that an average lifespan has plummeted to fourty two years, for those with filtered air they will live between fifty and fifty three years. The blinding glare that hangs over earth has been caused by pollutant particles and many wars. There is no real sunshine just a shadowless brightness. Anyone riding to work on glide-cycles and other open vehicles without protective clothing must bathe to remove the acids which settle on the skin.
Breeding of children had been banned in the last ten years to help prevent the planet from exploding, because what reserves of food and water there are would not last another three years. Any human found breaking this rule are docked to never have children again.
Two hundred years earlier they began settling on the moon, that became a problem also as it began to affect the earths tidal and weather cycle, there had been talk of an explosion while a city called Alpha Base Zero was being constructed; no citizens have proof. Fifty years ago the Government Ruling had been introduced to time fold travel; this was with the help of their first visitors from outer space. Earth leaders thought they were better and far more intelligent than these aliens and the Government Ruling tried to begin a war as they would not allow themselves to be subjected to Alliance rules. For this they lost the offer of teleportation and time fold technology rights that do away with pollutant transport.
Now, like an infested wound that wont heal, the Government Ruling began traveling in the search for uninhabited planets that the Universal Alliance would allow them to move to. Crime has risen to an incredible seventy-eight percent as people fight with each other over food drops and bedding on the streets. The average status of murder now stood at one in four people were either killed by strangers or young family members.
My name? You met me in the first story. However: for the uninitiated I am called Nathanial Bartholemew. You know me now? Thought you would. They dont know me here in this form, people only see me as one of the many, battling to get off earth and live a new life. I can be anywhere at any given time. Nevertheless this story has me overjoyed, if you are one of the lucky ones that came in at the beginning when I first began telling you these tales, you will know why this story carries an important significance. I will glide into the shadows and let the story unfold, I will be the narrator for the inhabitants of earth.
