A Holographic Existence

Intro

The year is 3088 and my Earth isn't real.
I always thought it was strange that no one remembered anything from before December 24, 3000 and how no one questions it, except for me.How people appear out of no where at random ages, the first people to find them take them in as their own. Your parents aren't your real parents, but no one questions it. People disappear out of thin air. They just vanish, blown away in the wind, but only after they have achieved something great or done something incredible. My "Dad" disappeared 3 weeks ago. He had just figured out that the star in the sky that we all thought was heaven, is actually a burning ball of gasses that provides us with heat and light. After he shared his discovery he vanished. Howard Lipzen discovered electricity 20 years ago and after he spread word of his discovery he vanished. Flora Simon, a french scientist invented the SCUBA equipment and then vanished. Tons of other people vanished. There is no better word to describe it. Its as if they were never really there, like the Earth is square and they walked to far and tumbled off. Yet after losing so many people the world just moves on. Ignores it almost, just like they ignore the fact that they can't remember anything from before the year 3000.
My "Dads" disappearance is what got me started looking for answers, what got me where I am now, off of Earth on an alien spaceship, sneaking around a control room where the aliens are watching us, examining us, plotting our worth, and contemplating our fate. If you thought you were in control of your own life, think again.
