The Many Racers

-----

"And here we are, everyone, what you've been waiting the whole damn year! The Golden Spire Race is about to begin!"

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, countless glowing lights surrounded the racing area, as several spaceships, some of them looking bulky and enormous, and some slender and minimalistic lined up across the painted floor.

An announcer resembling a floating silver robot started talking to a microphone, several holographic screens showing up across the skies, the audience to the race also showing up, thousands of people sitting around the starting line.

"WOOOOOOHHHH!!!"

People of all shapes and sizes, of all races and genders, and of all living and unliving kinds celebrated, the Golden Spire Race was one of the few events most people looked forward as entertainment from their monotonous lives in the colony and the annexed planets.
