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.

Waiting For Susanto

Cruz made a point of spending the next three days without venturing beyond Jelly's estate. He did spend a lot of time outdoors. Jelly's estate easily covered at least five acres of land; it was protected from pollution by the outside world by a highly ornamental fence of wrought iron. Its beautifully forged spears with shafts entwined by vines ended in oval blades that were very sharp. Anyone attempting to climb over that fence ran a high risk of castration.

In truth, Cruz felt a little castrated himself. He hadn't felt so powerless in a long, long time. He'd felt more powerful while sailing across the ocean in a fucking boat, he'd felt more powerful on Pitcairn even while he was being fucked around by the Christian brothers.

He was at Jelly's mercy. He had to resign himself to that fact, and learn to enjoy it. It ran completely against his nature, and it was a difficult psychological exercise.
