"GIVE ME MORE!" I insist, pounding my fist on the gleaming steel of the outdoor dining table. Above us, the stars glimmer through the nanoparticle haze that keeps us safe from he ruined atmosphere. Across the table from me, my brother Ash's eyes twinkle.
"There priests say our ancestors ruined the planet that way, Rowan. More,more,always more, until the Earth couldn't give any more and she died" he grins. He's teasing me, I know, but I see he secret shudder that always makes his body tremble when he thinks about Ecofail. He is an avid temple goer, and spends hours on his knees in penance for the acts of our ancestors. Not that it does much good. The atmosphere is as broken as ever,the world is dead,and only the tender care if the EcoPanopticon keeps as alive now.  Praying will never make a tree grow in this world again.The Earth is dead,but we will still survive.
Of Course, I've never been to the temple. Maybe If I had I wouldn't be such a cynic. But then, I haven't been anywhere in the las sixteen years. You see, I don't exist.
I might as well be a figment of my twin brother's imagination. If I were, I think he would have gone inside and fallen asleep long ago.








Sorry about the cliffhanger but there will be a lot because his book is really long. I. The next chapter I will give you the last page of the book which is really short. It makes no sense a less you read the whole book so ENJOY!
