From the author

The stories were written in 2019. The future, 200 years elapsed, what would you like to see there? Or, in other words, suppose yourself having skipped the next 20 years, what kind of events and life you’d keep in mind to describe the previous 200 ones? Many people wrote stories in the spirit of «there appeared ramps for the disabled», «people began to fight against garbage», etc. But did anyone really dream about a wheelchair and ramps when they were children? Or did they still want be healthy? Did they really dream of helping the poor, or it would be better, nevertheless, acting in a manner that excludes the children’s starvation? The world is changing rapidly, we see it. Let’s create a future closer to what we really want. Let’s stop thinking that follows imposed patterns about salvation. The proposed two stories do suggest looking at the future in a constructive way. A few years after these stories writing, it can be said that the future is gradually becoming the present. Build in your mind new neural connections by looking at the world’s future from a different angle. Important is that the world without apocalyptic pictures will be more attractive, you’ll like it. The creative world can also be interesting and exciting, while all your loved ones being alive and going well. Since these stories are «a look at the past and present from the future», there are some points which are logical development that follows real events of the past and present. Enjoy reading!

The air was poisoned with all kinds of exhausts, viruses, and chemicals that were harmful to our health. This air sickened and killed every living thing: plants, people, animals…

The soil was depleted, contaminated with herbicides and other substances that disrupted the ecosystem. A huge part of the planet has been covered with sand. Parts of the Earth were scorched by fires or affected by high air temperatures.

But that wasn’t even the saddest part. The planet was covered in garbage and graveyards. Garbage and plastic were everywhere. In the water and on land. Animals and birds were dying as their bodies were filled with garbage.

But the most frightening thing was that the water was becoming toxic. The water simply had no time to purify itself from the effects of human activity. Due to the natural vortex, general pollution was occurring. More and more creatures were experiencing a shortage of clean water. In some regions there was no water at all. Plants, animals, birds, fish and humans all began to get sick and die. There was a favorable environment for the spread of viruses, ba
