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.

Hidden Virtues

The group that had gathered on the road between the houses numbered thirteen people. Jerry Hard wasn't superstitious. He thought that people who got flustered when they saw Friday the 13th on the calendar were fools. But when he looked at his future feudal subjects, he felt unpleasant apprehension.

The man standing at the front of the group had to be the single widower. He definitely was ancient enough to have outlived several wives. He had long, unkempt white hair and a beard decorated with traces of recent meals. A couple of yellow smears indicated his diet included eggs.
