Year 2097 - Earth
Is this thing working? I sure hope so..even if it didn't, know one would ever see this so..eh I'll still write.
Let's talk about Earth before the fall shall we? Earth in 2072, the year I was born; less than three decades ago, we had a plentiful, nourished, healthy planet; a place in which we destroyed or more like "something" destroyed our home....I'm just kidding! It's not like some nasty aliens came and turned our planet into mush, although, I think I would've preferred that instead of what actually happened. Anyways, everyone had always said Earth was a great place and while I do agree, it most certainly isn't the most stable planet. It didn't take much to break it down in the end, but I'm getting ahead of myself. I honestly don't remember much of the supposed "good times" on earth, yeah, I was young and didn't get to enjoy it as much, but I don't know.
One thing I do remember is the amount of technology that was being built and that was already built to help with everyday life. We did have flying cars, AI robots, Advanced Medical Surgery (which became the fastest way to heal any wound), and futuristic buildings, all made up of the finest materials; the most newly discovered material was called "Refungenite" Which became all the rage back in 2065, when it was first discovered. It was hidden deep under the surface of the world, (making it one the hardest metals to find). It was later revealed that this metal had a strong stability and could only be melted at the highest degrees. It was also extremely strong and durable, because of this people started weaving it through clothes, making robots and even weapons. They saw how much protection it provided, (obviously not enough for what happened) but it brought hope and destruction.
Hehe, I'm being dramatic, but what can I say? I've been by myself for 20 years I think I deserve to be a little "dramatic".
Year 2077 disaster struck.
Thousands, millions, hell even billions of people died. To be honest I'm not really sure what happened, but I suppose I never will. Anyways, all I remember is hearing screams and explosions. My ears were ringing and I just kept walking around looking for my preschool teacher. I grew up in a "Intellectually Gifted Kids Society", which was just a fancy way of saying "Orphanage". It was run mostly by AIs and a few human teachers, one of which I had bonded with; the school had rooms for every orphaned kid and was always super clean. They would often teach us high level academics at a very young age and also teach us how to program. Ms. Vivían was my favorite teacher, she was always so kind and loving towards me and made me feel loved. I've never had a mother, so I couldn't tell you if that's how Vivían was to me, but it most certainly seemed like it.
As I searched for her, I saw people running, lots of them were bleeding, most of them were already corpses and by the time I reached the school, it had already disintegrated. I guess I should've known, but I was little and oblivious, no one could have prepared me for that, not even Vivían, but she did save my life.
She snatched me from my standing and held me close as she ran. Her face was bleeding, so were her hands, but she didn't seem bothered by any of it. I didn't where she was taking me, I thought we were going to a new home, a better planet. She slowed her pace as approached the "Artificial Bubble", her body started shaking and her eyes were dripping with water. I asked her "Are we leaving Ms. Vivían? I don't think we can stay here anymore." She touched my face gently while saying "You are my dear, you will be safe and live a better life, this..um..bubble was specially designed for safety and comfort. Now I have to go get the other kids, but you need to crawl through that safety opening and stay in there, okay?" She said sweetly, "Okey, I will." She was about to turn away when I went in for a hug. She didn't hesitate to hug me right back and she held on tightly. I let go and to say "I love you Ms. Viví." She touched my face again and said "I love you too, booboo." Vivían smiled shakily, she still had water flowing from her eyes, but they seemed more constant this time. Vivían turned around and ran right back into the catastrophic atmosphere. I did as she said and went through the safety tunnel. Once I was inside, I planted my feet on the ground and looked around the dark space before a voice said, "Systems turning on...currently loading safe house data." I had no clue what that meant, but I didn't care. The lights turned on and the large bubble had become an atmospheric space with greenery and a small house for living. It felt like a whole other world, (which is what it basically became) I loved it. I was greeted by and AI Helper, she brought me new clothes and showed me where the bathroom was, so I could clean up. After I was clean and dressed in comfier clothes, I decided to go to sleep in my new room, I had peace knowing Vivían would return, but all of that peace would fade into nonexistence once I awakened the next day.
Quite the story aye? I know I know, I'm a super talented writer, but honestly what else can I do, really? I can't leave this place and there's no one to hangout with, so my options are slim, much like the selection of people.

Question~
If you had to live in a giant bubble by yourself for the rest of your life, could you do it? I mean, you still technology and robots, so are you truly still alone?
