Chapter 97: One World Government (Premonition 006)

<??/??/2101 - ??:?? | Location Unknown>

There was something to be said for my abilities to experience premonitions. Despite my resolve to shut them all down, there was one more I was forced to experience eventually. The sixth and final premonition seemed like the most important and most critical prophecy anyone could ever witness, and I was dragged along to the ride by force.

In a world I clearly knew as Earth, many locations and places I've never seen before kept waning in and out of my fractured perception. I was seeing into the future of thousands of individuals, flashes of moments and memories that while brief, carried so much fear and sorrow.

The horror and crisis that would plague the entire planet was destined to trigger. Whatever caused this crisis only had one end result; countless millions of lives suffering from extreme poverty, starvation, wicked crime, exposure to nature, and some kind of strange, broken military control. What I heard and felt most was the mass starvation of the world. Thousands of places, millions of souls, slowly suffering, slowly dying from the triggered economic collapse combined with the collapse of a massive food chain built in singularity.

Fragments of information swarmed my mind in the same moment, giving me clarity on the reasons why this devastation worldwide was happening. It started with the collapse of the human currency, a currency that seemed to be universally attached to one, single, all-powerful world government. Nations that were divided by distance and nature were linked by politics, economics, military loyalty, and other elements linking to globalism.

This one-world government, confident it would be stronger in unity, made the mistake of having no backup or local method to absorb a systematic breakdown of financial chains controlling their interlocked networks of food production, fuel distribution, or energy production. As a result, instead of a single nation being plunged into chaos, the entire world was swept in with it.

All I could see and feel were the thousands of screaming lives calling out for help, and those begging in prayer that something be done about the situation. With enough time, most of these people would die out on their own, the government either refusing or failing to provide help. After all that, I woke from the dream, forced to process everything then, as I was also stuck with the familiar certainty that this dream was another premonition.

"Are you really sure?" Her voice echoed amidst the noise of the gym around me, though as usual, only I could hear her.

"No, I'm not." I did what I knew I had to do after this morning's crazy dream; I told Lumina everything I felt and saw. Despite what I felt when I woke up, I considered all I witnessed to be false, a prophecy born only from mere imagination and nothing else. I can't really call the moment a premonition if I don't believe it to be one now, can I? "The only thing I can be sure about, is that here on Earth, a one world government would become the end of humanity, at least for most of us. If it was a premonition, it felt like it would occur in more than a hundred years from now."

"I understand why you wouldn't want to be worried about it then... I thought you would stop having these dreams."

"Can't say." I couldn't tell Lumina about the crazier dream I had, if I could even call it that. My imagination spawned an incredible zone called the nexus of time. Given what happened in there, I shouldn't have the power of premonitions anymore, after the sixth and final one anyway.

That wasn't the only reason I felt calm about how I might tie into the premonition. I should have considered sooner that these dreams might not be premonitions at all, but rather intelligent reflections of events most likely to happen based on what my personal subconscious mind knows, disguising them as premonitions so that I take more notice of them. I can't be sure of anything in that regard, but I have taken Reba Sound's advice to heart.
