MARS 27 A.R Here lives us in the Age of flying cars, Robotic pets and Androids, holograms and buildings straight out of Sci-fi movies. A world built on, by and with Science, the new home of manki- *Whiz* “Watch ouuuuuut!!!" “Whoa....easy on the Flycycle kid!!" ".... I'm sooooooorrrrrryyyyyy!!!" *whiz* *whoosh* Almost hit me there, ha...kids. As I was saying, Earth, our most beloved planet was forsaken at the moment of Retribution.... I, the Author, unfortunately enough, made it into this new home world as they like to call it. We've lost family, friends and foes but alas, we live. We now live in a new world, a Tech-world, where days of mortality are now gone by. What do I mean by that? I’ll tell you. In a world where signs of life is non-existent, a place desolate and devoid of 'natural' Oxygen. Mankind, pushed to the edge, facing extinction that they so despair, had no choice but to resolve to a final solution, Bio-Cybernetic Augmentation. This is, however, by choice for t

◌ Even the longest journey begins with a single step and so I took a leap out of the train. I managed to slither my way out the crowded Train station which is so far the cheapest means of transport after the World war. The whole World had been amalgamated and divided into two lands: The Low-lands and The Highlands. It was a simple hierarchy set up to distinguish the classes of people in the world. Undoubtedly, everyone from the Low-lands had to go by train as they were the only means of transport available at long distance. Of course, there were those with maintenance private Auto-mobiles but their numbers were at minimal. On the other hand, there were Transporters that commute people by pre-recorded co-ordinates in The Highlands, although there were Flobiles of different sizes and shapes on highways mostly for sightseeing functions. Luxuries basically resided in the Highlands. Facing the slightly congested highway, I decided to take a walk as my destination was only few blocks away,

۩ Hasn't there ever been a moment or two in your life where you get stuck between two choices? Then surely, you must know how frustrating it feels. Right now, I stand in the middle of the road between two cafeterias, both buildings whispering 'tantalizing' words into my deepest awareness. 'Are you sure you want to bail out on Derals’ special Chicken soup?' 'No, I wouldn't dare!!' 'So what about my Special Chicken Torte then, Dear Jenkins?' 'Eh? Eh?' confused, I took a deep breath as I took a step into the milk and butter-colored cafe by the right. 'I’m sorry, I'm really sorry.' I apologized to the other cafe I ditched and promised to visit some other time. *cling* *cling* The doorbell rang as I stepped into the Cafe with several Male waiters than usual and went on to take a seat at the farthest corner by the window. I didn't need to take a look at the menu on the table since I knew what I wanted already, even though I had never been here before. I moved into Bargon city just ab

¤ Since everyone had faith in science, so be it then, It wasn't like I had any other choice anyway. After all, I was no hero that would go about saving the world. Not that I don't have the best interest of mankind at heart just that I was in no position. Moreover, there was already a last resort if things turned out unfavorable. Today, I had decided to purchase some quality clothes after taking breakfast which Roberta had ordered. People would treat you the way you appear, precisely the reason why it's best to dress to impress. "Roberta, can you make a low-budget quality cloth purchase on the net for me please?" I wouldn't waste my lifetime savings based on the fact that I had been employed, as I would only spend when necessary. I knew how valuable money was in life, it had always been the problem of mankind yet it had never for once been in disrepute as such act would definitely be likened to blasphemy. Humans are greedy and would never let go of the privilege and prestige that mon

۞ Responsibility, a burden carried by every human involuntarily, well..... It could be voluntary sometimes. However, it is inevitable to not be responsible for a certain thing in the world, as parents are responsible for their children, children are responsible for their education, orphans are responsible for their survival, and adults are responsible for their family and at their respective works. Everyone is attached to something which they take responsibility in. However, at the level of the whole world, responsibility is placed on 'gods'. In ancient mythology, Atlas was a Titan, an elder god who carried the world on his shoulders. Meaning, The whole of the world was on his shoulders, only he carried that burden. Now the question is, how heavy is that burden? How would you feel if you knew that the existence of every person, and every being on the streets, inside their homes, at work and various locations all across the world were in your hands, a mere human, when even a titan lik
