The next day, I was walking in a he street when the notice came on over the loud speakers

Dear Leaders, Greens and Locals,
This message is addressed to you as we would like to announce that the decision has been made to explore our past planet as we feel that it will be still intact after the disaster. Of course we can't risk our whole population to go back to Earth so we are creating a test to see who will be the fittest people in The Dome and most likely to go on this voyage
Thank you for your acceptance.

A test? How will they test us? I walk to to the Local Cafe where it is busy with baristas making coffee and bakers making jam donuts. Why do I feel that I should be the one to go to Earth? I order a water and decide what I must do. I don't know why but I have to go to Earth. I must be the one. In our message it said who would be fittest must go. Because I'm in the Leader family it means I am not allowed to go to the gym or do public health activities because apparently it sets a bad example. I don't know why though because in every Leader house we have a inside gym and pool. Every division has a set of rules. For the Greens, the rules are that you can't wear dark colours and you must genuinely care for the plants, you are not allow e extra physical exercise because of the daily exertion and you are only allowed to wear casual clothing. The Locals rules are a little different, must work at least one shift every day, must always be clean since they are handling food and they must always please every one else, even the Frees. The Leader are majorly different to everyone else's because we must workout at home but never outside, we must always wear formal clothing and we must always treat ourselves before others.
When I look in history books they often have pictures of large animals and quite exotic animals. On Titan we only have 5 animals in total, and all of them are herbivores so we can supply for them. Cows, pigs, chicken, sheep and alpacas all live on Titan and have adapted to suit this environment.
I walk home and go into my home gym. I must go to Earth. But why? Why do I have such a strong urge to leave the place where I grew up. All my life I haven't felt right here. Soon I will know why
