Some Time In The
Future
It was the year 2097 and the earth was hot because
of global warming. All over the world the temperature had risen ten
degrees higher than normal. I was working as an animal observer and
my job was to assist Willie and Qun observing marine mammals to see
how they were affected by the harmful rays of the sun. When I went to
look for Willie and Qun down at the coast, which was now right in
front of Marshall, I saw a lot of sea animals like seals, walrus,
whales, etc. The sea level had risen so much because the ice in
Antarctica and the Arctic had melted. I was also wearing a specially
made suit so that I wouldn't die from over exposure to UVB rays from
the sun. When I reached Willie and Qun they were observing a whale
migrating north. We were using vehicles that were designed for the
conditions that we were in and they were really efficient because
they operated on sun power. They were also faster than the internal
combustion engines we used to use like snowmachines and trucks. When
we went to look for some other creatures we saw Golova and Slim
chasing after some robbers on the water. For a while they were
catching up then all of a sudden Slim's XT 2100 lost power and he
crashed. When he hit the water there was a big splash because he was
so big. Golova went back to pick him up but it was too late. Slim's
back end was bottoming out. We were all freaking out at them because
they looked really funny in a serious sort of way.
After they left we went back to observing whales
and seals. We took a while to figure out one creature we were seeing
because it was one we'd never seen before around here. It turned out
to be a Hawaiin sea cow, an animal only found in warm water until
recently.
While we were going back to town Willie's M3 land
vehicle wasn't working right. We stopped to look at the engine, but
when we tried starting it, it wouldn't start. So Willie kicked it. He
kicked it again but missed, and he slipped and tore his suit wide
open. He had to take it off to fix it, but as soon as he did this the
sun's rays hit him and his skin started to burn terribly because of
the harmful rays of the sun. Then he fell to the ground. We were
careful transporting him back to the lab because his body was very
fragile. At the lab the scientists examined him and were able to
apply first aid just in time.
After that incident we started to be more careful
about the way we treated our vehicles and ourselves. We also tried to
find better ways to observe the creatures that lived on our planet.
We needed to find how to keep them alive because we needed some other
source of food besides the fruits and vegetables we were planting in
our underground communities. These were just not enough for our
village to stay alive. If we had only listened to the warnings about
the environment, we wouldn't be in this predicament now!
