A Play's Story
Silence. The auditorium is empty, aside from the mask that lays askew in the aisle as if tossed in a hurried manner. The stage is set with falling snow and the girl in purple is left on the bench wondering what she did to cause the shadow man to leave. His absence pains her heart; not even real snow could numb this pain.

The Big Disaster It had to happen eventually, World War Three. For longer than half a century rulers and soldiers kept busy lying to the population about the results of a nuclear war. It would all be fine. A couple million deaths, yes, that was inevitable. An enormous devastation, certainly! But that too was manageable. Humanity had already had two major wars in the twentieth century and even then, people predicted the end of civilization and what had it become? Millions of victims, Europe in ruins, but immediately afterwards survivors started building and golden times of prosperity arrived. It would undoubtedly also be the case after the third world war. As soon as it was over, the rulers and governors would come up with their families and secret files from the bomb-free shelters, take control and become the masters of the new Golden Age. Whoever possessed the power sat on velvet. The dead would be solemnly remembered with wreaths of flowers, graves of honor and speeches, and the world could begin rebuilding with fresh courage. The destroyed cities would rise even bigger and higher from the ashes. And all problems regarding to slum clearance and overcrowding would be solved immediately. No, the men (of course they were men) with their fingers at the red buttons and purple telephones were not afraid. The moment the big conflict would break out they would be safe under the ground. Those who had to stay above the ground would have a few very hard weeks and maybe even die, but a world population of billions of people was not just wiped out. There would be enough survivors to start over and to cheer on the resurfaced rulers when they would drive by in bulletproof tanks...
Shirley AlbersPublished 5 years ago in FuturismSustainability: Our Future
In light of the recent Australian federal election, many of the Australian youth are left thinking to themselves: is it even worth it when the privileged refuse to listen to the current global climate emergency? Leaving many with a strong sense of uncertainty towards their own future. Perhaps a wake up call to take things into our own hands? Away from a cloud of vested interest and unprecedented bias? With the topic of environmental sustainability quickly becoming a political issue.

**THIS IS SIMPLY A THEORY, NOT MEANT TO DEFAME OR INSULT ANY COMPANIES, PEOPLE, COUNTRIES, AND ANY OTHER PARTIES** The moon landing was widely debated and still is to this day; was it real or was it simply a hoax? I do have my beliefs when it comes to this, but I'll get to that later.

"Jupiter are we almost there?!" The cries of my little brother being lost in the howling wind as we ran through the dimly lit forest. My grip tightened around my little brother's small wrist pulling him. The rain had pelted our hair, the loose strand of hair stuck to my face as we raced through the forest. The clawing of the branches ripped and scratched at my wet skin and clothes. I didn't know where we were going, but all I know is that we must get as far away from them as possible. My legs began to turn into jelly, chest heavy with bricks as I kept pushing. Looking back to my little brother whose tripping over his little stubby feet. The forest was silent, the only thing we could hear was the harsh breathing of our breath.
Camille TarverPublished 5 years ago in FuturismThis Is How to Actually Believe in Astrology

Aries (June Energy Reading)
Aries... I know what you did last summer... JK but I know what you did this year. You didn’t. Aries why so prideful? Why is it that no one can tell you about yourself and that only you know you? I can tell you right now that some of you barely have the right to self assess because people have let you get away with so many things for so long. Yeah, you look great, yeah you have this person wrapped around your finger, and yes you keep your appearance polished but the motto for you is not “look good, feel good” this season.
