As the World Caves In

The Power of Creation

I wasn't scared at all when they said the world was coming to an end. It was all over the news; a new bomb that was capable of wiping out the entire human race had been activated on July fourth, two thousand and thirty three. The government was determined to create new and inventive ways to improve the country of Athana, whether that was hover-cars or holograms or deadly explosives. With time comes knowledge and with knowledge comes creation, and the power of creation is a very dangerous thing. My family had volunteered to be part of the hover-car experiment three years back in the year two thousand and thirty. These cars were said to be safe ways of lightning speed teleportation and needed to be tested by willing participants. I'd urged my mother, father, and brother Carson to withdraw from the experiment as I didn't trust the new invention, but they'd insisted.
