Chapter Twelve~ Futuristic
Life is a lie.
That may be harsh, but the truth hurts.
Its especially difficult to accept the end of the world.
5024. Thats when it happens. Its 5026 now. After two years I still havent accepted it.
Section 52; Plot 7; Advancement 12
Thats where I live. There were thirteen Earth advancements. Thirteen being the best.
I guess I should explain. On each advancement there are 300 sections. Each section holds about 100 people. On the sections there are plots. Each plot holds a family. But some people dont have a family.
That would be me. For two years I have lived in a medium sized house overfilled with books, and, of course, My chicken.
Yes, the world was ending, everyone I know died. So of course, I grabbed the chicken. And books. I could never live without books.
Around 4996 people began to realize what was happening to Earth. I myself was one of the first people to find out. Thats why I was on the second best Advancement. I helped create it.
You probably have assumptions of what Im like,who I am, etc. But I can most likely tell you youre wrong. Unless youre correct,then you should probably be writing books.
What is your name?
Croa Magnum
How old are you?
Fifteen.
How long were you on earth?
I was born and raised on earth, so fifteen years.
How tall are you?
56
How would you describe your eyes?
An ever-changing cascade of light blue, Benedict Cumberbatch, to a emerald green, Jensen Ackles; with a hint Annabeth Chase.
You do know I didn't understand that, right?
How would you describe your hair?
The brightest, most obnoxious, red you could ever imagine. Normally up in a messy bun, that somehow always has a few strands askew.
How would you describe your personality?
Shy, quiet, and book loving. Ive never had a relationship unless shipping Solangelo counts. My favorite author is Rick Riordan. Books are my life.
Describe yourself further.
Along with everything else Ive told you about what I look like, you should probably know more. I have a scar on my lip, I tried to eat a pair of scissors. To add to the vibrant hair I have freckles. I look like a twelve year old with little brown dots that dot my nose, and spread like disease onto my cheek. Imagine a vampire, well Im even pailer. Im translucent in moon light. Or I was.
You were?
Theres no way that a moon would be able to orbit the city; Ive even heard rumors that the sun is fake.
What was your job on earth?
Biochemical engineering
Why did you leave earth?
I was one of the first people to find out that earth is dying.
Then why werent you on one of the first Advancements?
I. I dont know. I didnt think it was problematic; what the hell am I saying? The earth is dying, it still is, and I guess I stayed thinking I could somehow prevent it.
What Advancement are you staying on?
Advancement 12
Have you been assigned?
Assigned to what?
Advancement, Section, Plot?
Oh, A. 12, S. 52, P. 7
Do you have a number?
Um. I think its thirteen.
The number you were given is your house, and your place in the neighbourhood portion of the Plot.
