A sci-Fi Epic

~In a place far away, in tomorrows today

life changes to be unrecognizably strange

There's only one way I can think to explain

And I pray its relayed in a digestible way.

I earnestly ask that you please postulate

A symbol and theory, a planet incarnate

Envision an atom, with each of its parts,

now expand the structure to the scale of a star.

It resembles a human without legs or arms,

Which two beings inhabit, all while leaving scars.

A vast ball of flesh that's recycled from death,

Similar to an Earth that sharing coil and breath. ~

***Here is my outline for the story I have been thinking of/writing for the past 5 years.***

There is a group of the most powerful, elite people and they become very jaded and overcome by bloodlust. They slowly brainwash people by enforcing the belief that they are their own gods, capable to do everything by their lonesome. By that same measure, they are also aware that in a world full of isolated gods, there can be no real comradery- no common decency in the end game, because how would 2 or more gods share power? How would they all inflict their decisions upon all the other people who are ALSO their own gods?

They successfully do so, and realize that they are breaking up a huge multitude of people that would otherwise be able to collectively fight the dictatorship or oligarchy that these elites have become. When hell breaks loose, and nobody can trust one another, they are delighted as their rival neighbors get plucked off one by one in a bloody ruthless genocide. One less person make them internally more of a god, more successful, and the more these folks are on the side of the ruthless, amoral, and power, hungry, the higher mortality rate that will give them most likely, correct?

This is a series of books- or movies. The first is about this mass genocide and how the elites are able to brainwash and enlist innocent and normal people to their side, out of fear and survival instinct. Even though, this elite group they support ultimately friendly fires on them. They end up killing 1/3 of the population of earth, after instilling a one world government, world currency, and blacklisting all of those who will not submit to the new world order.

These people who have joined the side of the new world order, have been so stuck to their TVs and so sucked into their selfish lives that they do not notice so many deaths occurring. There has already been a space force created, and supposedly all of these missing people have been enlisted and deported/stationed out into space to create a second world or fight aliens- whatever their fear instilling stories come to be.

What actually happens to these people, is that they are all killed en masse and thrown into a humongous deep pit, in a secluded secret field on a military base on Antarctica- where their exit sire on earth is said to be to enter the space force. Once this huge mass of corpses frozen into a giant mangled ball of flesh, they are on top of a giant net that is attached to an aircraft that chucks them into space. This is what becomes the planet of scars- and unbeknownst to the elites, it is such a huge sphere that it gets stuck in the orbit of earth, just like its moon.

The second book is about 2 refugees that are fighting against the elites for human rights being captured on planet earth. all of theyre family members have been killed along with their friends and neighbors, except all the ones who turned on them and were not sad to see them go in exchange for their own livelihoods. So these 2 people are captured and are sent to this planet of frozen corpses- of the people they once were closest to- the only people they ever knew (and the 2 were strangers to each other, never meeting one another and kept separately from each other). And they were sent to live on this planet of corpses, in an act to inflict the most brutal mental terrorism to these 2 honorable people- the only 2 people left on earth with any honor left to their name, so that they can adopt the same disgusting morbid personalities and morals that these elite have faltered to long ago. They wanted to break them down, kill their hope, trust and faith in other people, god, and life itself- while they watched in amusement.

When these 2 arrive, they are thought to be on this planet alone. Somehow the stem cells of all the babies, all the oxygen from the last breaths of their loved ones, and all the life and spirit they had to offer sustained them and this planet was actually a living being itself. The skin was the earth, the blood and tears were the water, the mud. The hairs upon its skin were like trees, fibers with which to build with and upon. They were sent up there with sharp tools- only thing to bring destruction to themselves, their planet, and anyone else they came in contact with. And the elites were SURE these people would soon use them just for that.

But these people were good. They ventured this new planets terrain with fear and uncertainty, using the weapons- similar to knives- only for protection. They were skeptical that this was some sort of experiment- which it was.

But alas they were off a bit. Their thoughts were geared more towards them being involved in a Truman-show like battle royal staged for the elites to laugh and gawk upon, be right about, watch with enjoyment what horror and betrayal of morals these 2 honorable people were reduced to in order to survive.

It was either this, or eventually goin to turn into this. They suspected/hypothesized that these 2 people would fight an internal struggle within between wanting help, friendship, love- any other positive benefits even company- and fear, hatred, self preservation, skepticism, and eventually resort to the depraved condition that each of these elites have made their way to individually. This way they could honestly say that these 2 were no better than themselves, after being put to the test. This would in itself make them the most honorable- or seem to think that of themselves as equally as honorable as these two wholesome people.

And in fact, these 2 people did struggle with what they had imagined.

The 2 were sent to opposite poles of the sphere. When one was running toward the unknown, in hopes to find someone to help and find solace with, the other would be running away at an equal rate of speed in fear of what could be at the other pole.

especially once they saw the first scars the other had made upon this planets skin. Whenever they each would hesitate and change motives, their unbalance caused them to trip up and fall to the ground, causing the planet to bleed and scar. These 2 among this planet were just like two electrons/subatomic particles on an atom, staying balanced on ether side to keep this grotesque planet in a steady orbit and equally distanced from what they longed for, and feared.

This book goes through the struggle of emotions, duality, balance, and eventually ends in one of them overcoming their fear by seeing a morbid collection of scars and cuts in the surface below- that was entirely unintentional. This is why the planet is called the planet of scars.

And I must mention that these people scar up the planet wildly, while conflicted by the opposite thoughts- paranoia and hopes. They become aware that they are not alone by seeing scars of cuts they know they did not make themselves, and this is what frightens them and drives them with wonder and hope equally to a dramatic extent. These tired people have been running back in forth in circles with nothing different to guide them for a whole year, and they were ready to give up.

This is what the year of scars read among the planet of scars surface- an epitaph:

If you are wondering what I am thinking, is the same thing as you.

If you are trudging through hell, keep travelling through.

If you awoken dry, you have been saved from the dew. (as a refrence to a fleece in the bible- a sign that god is giving them a certain direction)

If you become the change, you'll see something new.

When the one person read this, he realized this must be true.

He trudged forward, and drove himself to only think of what he wished his opponent/the other inhabitant would be thinking- being hopeful to meet this other person with good motives, and maybe joining forces to help get them back to earth or inflict change or retribution.

As the one started thinking this way, indeed the others thoughts caught on, and she started traveling at the same rate, towards him.

Book 3 will be about when they meet. When they meet, they are overcome with fear and joy equally- submitting to the fact that they could be killed or maimed, but the risk was worth it and they'd die with their honor intact.

This is the opposite of what the elite were thinking would happen.

So as the 2 people meet and talk, and understand they actually share the same motives, their unification throws this sad lonely world out of orbit, barreling towards the earth.

This is their unsuspecting way back home. And as this planet- or better yet, relate this to the comet that's represented in the bible that is 1/3 the size of earth, is coming towards planet earth and all the destitute sadistic people it inhabits, they see the words that were noticed beneath their feet. A sort of sign from God who ran out of people to prophesy on earth for Him.

They realize they bet for the wrong horse, and they weep for their wrongdoings. The elites are the first to be collided with, annihilating everything they built and all those they chose to be worthy of standing by their sides. Ultimate retribution has come.

Those that were killed for fighting the brainwashing- the brutality, the murder and deflowerment of the young and pure in heart- were destroyed by the ones who had anything left within them that was righteous and good.

The ones who had been killed initially were what the bible described as the raptured, which is what gave this planet of scars sustenance to provide for the 2 chosen ones that caused this great change.

And in the end, it was realized that God is just another term for the spirit of which can be described as the bright, good, honorable, faithful, steadfast, brave people who's good in them perseveres over the most oppressive evil in this universe.

But God cannot see itself alone- which is why humans were given free will to begin with. This story is meant to symbolize the need for opposition, duality, and balance. God can only be called God when there is something to negate the entity with. And so the creation of earth, people with free will, and the epic journey of the fight between good and evil, will start again so that good and prevail and show its ultimate power in this universe.
