Thank you :)

Earth. One thousand years after Apollo 11 landed on the moon. Five hundred since death and decay hit the world. One hundred since we'd seen the last tree. And approximately five months until I left for Ultra.

Our planet is dying. Resources have been used and wasted. The environment is on her way to hell and Mother Nature was fighting back with all her might.

The earth had turned against her inhabitants. Three thousand years of salvaging for natural resources had left her completely dry and now, it was time for her to give us what we'd been giving her. Natural disasters spread out all over the world soon after the last of the forests were cut down. There was no safe place anymore. Tornados, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, blizzards, droughts; all of which put us here, in the place we currently found ourselves.

I don't know how it ended up like this. I suppose after years and years of life on this planet, she'd finally had enough of us. Nothing was as it was before Dooms Day - the day our world turned against us. Today, the remainder of the world's population lived in certain areas of the earth that were deemed 'Disaster free', all of which were split up into sections. I don't know how many there are but according to my knowledge, the sections went up into the hundreds. I lived in section two or for short, Sec.2, the sections for the 'privileged'. Or as I like to say, the sections for the snobs. As you got higher up in the sections, the wealth and status decreased, but the population increased. So basically, the higher up you went in the sections, the less 'privileged' you were and the more packed it was. Lucky for me, I just happened to be born in one of the wealthiest, stuck up families on the planet, which meant, we were near the front of the line to board the shuttle to Ultra.

Yay...

Ultravelion: the New World. Years after D-Day, NASA along with the U.S government started searching for 'alternative solutions for our difficult situation', and that was a direct quote from none other than Mr. Calcus Cavil himself, the president's side hand man. Then one day while a couple of astronauts were floating around in space, they came across it. A planet so big it could probably fit five-hundred thousand earths in it. According to them, the air is breathable - a little denser than earth's atmosphere but with the help of NASA's worldwide hospital, a couple injections and tablets would help us along the way.

It was approximately five months until I left for this unknown planet. Five months left on earth after twenty-one years of 'struggling' to stay alive. And when I say 'struggling', I wasn't referring to surviving the common earthquake every now and then. I was referring to my mother. I was referring to my stuck up section. I was referring to my life.

I hated my privileged prissy little life. People up here in the lowest sections - Sections 1-10 - were allocated only the best of the best. The finest condos with the best security, built in the safest of places and were the only ones to have access to the best parts in town. The sections were separated by means of domes. Yeah, that's right - domes. A few years ago, the government had finally declared earth's air too hazardous for our fragile human lungs to inhale and so, in order to keep us safe, placed the different sections in electronically made domes that kept the fresh 'manmade' air in - and the deathly earthly air out. If you exited your section without an oxygen mask or through the tram - which was the train that ran right through every section - you'd last about ten to fifteen minutes before the toxic air poisoned your lungs causing you to buckle over and suffocate to death.
