The World in 2030
My name is Jen, Genevieve for short, but it is hard to pronounce for a lot of Americans, so everyone just calls me Jen. The year is 2030, and the world has been permanently changed due to the electrovirus crisis of 2020. I was still a child when it happened. I was supposed to continue my college, but due to my father losing his job and my mother’s income not being enough to support our family, my college fund was used to support our family. My father was a head chef in a restaurant. At first the government told us that we would be allowed to reopen our restaurant after just two weeks. They told us that it was meant to “protect the medical system from collapsing” so we believed it and closed our restaurant to takeout only, for the “greater good”. Little did I know that we would lose our family home and be moved to a subsidized housing in the projects, and that I would have to get a retail job to save money for college and contribute to the family.
