Decades of science denial in the u.s. Have led to a crumbling infrastructure, outdated defense and technology, and a failing country. The scientists have been cut off from the public eye, and the state is controlled media corporations who pay off the government to sell fake science and news to the people, while the rest of the world looks down and shuns the u.s. for its ignorance and policy.
ReplyDeleteA revolt is staged by the scientists and their followers, to overthrow the government. They use their advanced intelligence and science to win a long and hard war. This story is about the aftermath of that war and the tensions that still exist between the two parties: the science party ana (INSERT NAME HERE)

ReplyDeleteThere was a flash, then a cascade of reds, and oranges, and yellows filled the sky. They fell like fireworks making it seem like a light show, but the people of the city knew better. Another person had been punished. This was the third one today, and people paid no mind to it.
The year was 2089, and the world as everyone knew it had been destroyed. By what, no one knew for sure. Aliens maybe? They did come from another planet, but they look nothing like the aliens that people imagined. They posses no known powers besides the ability to shape shift. Once on earth they took the form of humans, and tried to blend in. It worked for a while. For the first two years the shapeshifters lived among them, blending in, getting jobs, and buying houses.
Then in 2074 they strike. They took over all of the major cities in the world, and started ruling over them. The people fought back for five years, but stopped when they realized that it wasn’t working. They gave in, and tried their best to get used to the way the world was.
Dear Diary,
Today the strangest thing happened!
