The Brave New World

IMPORTANT: I WILL NOT BE CONTINUING THIS SERIAL. SYNOPSIS It is January 2nd, 2035. In New York, leaders of all the world's nations are assembling to agree on a plan to save the dying planet: Earth. Of course it's a lie, because the planet isn't about to die. People will. As it often happens when something starts with a lie, disaster strikes. A mysterious electromagnetic storm destroys the global power grid, and cuts communications. Many people die, some commiting suicide because of the inability to post on Instagram. But as soon as the storm dies down, millions of mysterious, glowing cubes appear all over the globe. The cubes contain tools that will let humans colonize a new planet: a bigger, richer version of Earth. The newly formed Colonial Council, which answers to the United Nations, has only one goal: to ease the crisis on Earth by transfers of goods and resources from the New World. Millions of new colonizers rush to the New World, united by a common purpose: to turn their dreams into reality. Some dream of getting rich by trading New World goods. Some dream of conquest, and building an empire. Some dream of peace, adoration, and love. Some will succeed, and others will fail. But fortune always favors the brave.

Double Indemnity

Kirk wandered among the stalls of Napa's colonial market, feeling unhappy and generally unsatisfied with life. It was a grey, drizzly morning, and there was a piece of bacon gristle lodged between his back teeth. He couldn't work it free with his tongue, which was very irritating.

He hated his present life, he hated both of his present lives—in the Old and New Worlds. Kirk was a creature of comfort. He was at his sparkling best following a nap, a long hot bath, and an elegant meal washed down with good wine. There was an acute shortage of comforts in the New World, and sadly the Old World was becoming increasingly brutal.
