The Big Eviction Notice #21

As the sun begins to break over the horizon the Daybat start to appear, their screech louder than the rooster, their appetite ferocious than a wolf and with their highly territorial nature comes dead Daybats lining the sidewalks and alleyways. With the sunrise comes the garbage-bots scouring around picking up bit of recyclables, bits of trash, and the bats. The curfew has been in effect for months now and watching the solar flares out the window I wonder how much longer it will be imposed. The mail truck is running late but it does not matter my magnetic strip has not been working properly and I will have to wait until after 10:00 before it is safe to go outside to get the mail which will probably be all celluloid junk mail.

On the news George w. Bush IIII has still not recovered from his Xansanphentol infection and there is controversy over if a sitting President can run the office from quarantine and if so how long. Also the World Army evacuated Hawaii for the third time this year, every time there is a new eruption a bidding war opens up on the Global Market Television Channel for the new land. Last time it went up over a million dollars an acre for non-water front land. On the bright side it has been three weeks and the World Murder Rate is still at zero. I sometimes wonder how bad it really was in the days of the outlaws, the numbers paint a bloody picture of the past, but then with only six billion people on earth it would be like 0.0007% chance of being murdered.

Needless to say, I am still taking public transportation to and from college and everywhere else for that matter. It was strange the first few years after they made it unconstitutional to charge citizens of the New Earth for education and that has left me having to work more since there are no more financial aid checks. With the privatization of colleges in 2102 everything has been thrown out of wack. They disbanded community colleges and started the one in a hundred rule that says every class has to have at least one hundred students in it. Some classes end up having a hundred and seventy or eighty students in them. Homework has also changed recently when the Scan-Tron Company invented the first electronic desk to help alive the professors having over a hundred students in them and all the paperwork. Also they have done away with all the staff except for security, which they felt needed to be from outside and the deans of students everything else is manned by students, from the gardeners to the kitchen help it all students.
I wonder how it was before the walls fell, before the global community, before the New Earth was united? What will it be like in the days of our grand-grand-grandchildren? What will become of us? Can they really jumpstart the atmosphere on Mars by 2220? Will our faltering sun start to correct itself? With time all these questions will be answered, all the truths will come to light, and we might even start to colonize our solar system. Man has overcome everything put in his way even himself and if I know anything it is this, that, man is here to stay and until we get the big eviction notice from above, we are here and we are not going anywhere.
