Here one part of the story we all create to dream a new reality. Enjoy. :)
July 21st 2024
„It is six years now since I left my job, my country. I miss it every day. When I was the age you are now, I never thought the world might change that quick. You know, we all knew that we would face some problems with this world sooner or later. There was the whole climate debate going on, people did talk about a big catastrophy in western U.S., there was the nuclear threat as again a power plant in Japan got destroyed by a Tsunami, there were several political issues between the U.S. and eastern countries concerning oil. But everybody just kept talking you know. Nobody actually knew how bad it really was. Nobody knew what to do and we all were just sitting at home, hoping it might not hit us.“
I grabbed an apple. There was a sticker on it but I didn’t care. It was a very fresh one and had a beautiful green and red color.
„So, you can’t imagine what changed in that short time. Back then we'd all just go and study, learn, become doctors and teachers. But most people didn’t really know why i guess. I mean I just learned from the early day on to be a good student otherwise I will suffer throughout my whole life. Well, I was a good student. A very good one. Actually the best one they had in music and sport. But it didn’t really prevent me from suffering at all, haha. You know, suffer is as part of life and as subjective as this apple or a fart. We were all dreamers of a very weird and unsatisfying reality, waiting for joy to come with the paycheck, waiting for that one moment while we were destroying ourselves day by day. Anyhow, old guy talking about boring old worlds. Look at our world, i want to show you our little castle we have.“
Johnathan is the guy who came here yesterday. He’s originally from Syria and his name was Youhannah. He was an ingineer in Syria, but all that didn’t count much here. He flew and started all over again. His knowledge though does count for me and I know he will be a big help for us. He seemed a nice guy, with his heart on the right spot. His eyes were brown and mysterious, but honest. He was tall and seemed a little undernourished. While looking over the area, he seemed disgusted by something.
The smell here got worse the last few days. We still didn’t figure out where it is coming from but we guess it’s from the cities port. Since the russians started to boycott the oil trade with southern europe, the ships simply can’t leave and I guess their contains start to become bad. There’s a lot of seagulls and noise coming from down there. So we got to protect our fields and crops with plastic before the gulls start eating our food. Because we don't like them to become our food. They don't taste as great as this apple.
„What is this?“ John asked pointing on a little grey box with numbers and patterns and weird signs on it.
„I knew this might be something interesting for you and you will learn much more about it. It is a box that measures your electric currency or field. You put your hands against them and hold it for a while“. On each side of the box there were two metal pieces where your hands are meant to be placed. „It will measure your electric field and change it in order to increase your emotional physical and mental strength and vitality. It balances you out. Cool right?“
It is a very helpful thing in these days and I spend every day several minutes to recalibrate my energy field.
The launch off of the first space ship is supposed to be in two weeks and everybody is nervous about it. There is still about 20'000 places left for this ship, but there’s a lot of scepticism about the success so not many want to join. The next three ones of course are fully booked in case it works out. The rich guys will make it to the new planet, so they can play the same game again. But if I'd be greedy enough, you've got to go into the first one and spend your time with all different kinds of ideas to make the new planet yours so you can get richer than the rich following. But as I said, I'm not greedy enough. At some point they fuck it up there again and another old guy like me has to start his life over again. So why be the one causing pain to others? There’s been many tests and they successfully launched a ship half the size with all different kinds of food and animals on it. It was launched 5 months ago. Wonder who is actually steering it for all these years... But anyhow, we will see if this first ship is actually gonna make it. And i mean, even if it does, I do not want to be frozen for a hundred years. I might just die and end up on the same planet as a different form of life and be a hundred years old when all my friends from earth arrive. I will make sure they have something to eat.
„Is it dangerous?“ John asked. „What do you mean?“ – „The electricity box“. „Oh, no it is not. It is medicine. New medicine. But let me show you later. First, i want to show you our garden and our labor. You will be stunned and your ingeneers heart will start top beat very fast soon again.“ I smiled at John and collected the seeds from my apple and put hem in a little box I had in my pocket. I wasn't sure if he totally get what I'm talking about.
It started to get dark and I went to the guard to make sure all is going well. He told me that they had a problem with one of the PFL's (some sort of beam of a 2 dimensional curved field over our area to protect the area from all kinds of nanopieces of metal or strong radioactivity) but they fixed it somehow. I was very happy because today we didn’t have any kind of storm or hail alarm. It was sunny for 6 hours which we needed for our plants.
John was fascinated about our garden and greenhouses. He also was quite excited about the sauna, he might need it after all this. I told him that we heat it up every day as long as we still can to detox and relax a little bit.
On a sudden Peter came out of the woods towards us. His eyes were very big and he seemed very excited about something.
„We found them Greg! They tried to hide in the cave but we found them. They tried to communicate with us the whole time.“ I had no idea what Peter was talking about. „Who is hiding where and why?“. But then I remember that bright light we once saw above our home coming down from the heavens and it looked like a tiny meteorite. Peter and Phoenix went out to find it, it might contain metals we urgently need. It is hard nowadays to have access to different metals like silver as the market price skyrocketed and a lot of people don’t want to sell their belongings because the still hope the price might rise. As if it's about money now. We barely have enough clean water.
„The light Greg! The light, the meteorite! Remember? Anyhow, it wasn’t a meteor, these again are E.T.s“. He smiled his typical smile. „They're so tiny. But I tell you, they are kind of intimidating. They look at you and it feels as if they could read your mind like a piece of paper in front of them.“ – „Are you on drugs?“ John asked. Peter gave him a look as if he’d have pity with John. „Anyhow, you should come see them. I think they want us to know something.“ But in that very moment the guard came and said that there were several agents at the gate, having some "questions". They want to talk to me.
I told Peter that he might leave those little mindreader be where they are for now and take John inside the house and show him around. Dinner should be ready soon as it is getting dark.
I went to the gate and welcomed the gentlemen. „Are you Mr. Branx?“ – „Oh I might be one of them. Which Mr. Branx do you want to see?“ – „Greg. You’re Greg right?“ – „Indeed. But I still am not interested in buying a seat in one of your ships nor do I want to support it. Look, I still think we have to do our best to help this planet. Only rats leave the ship when it sinks“. I’ve never been very polite when I knew people didn’t like me the way I am. I was trained to behave in school, but thats a long time ago and as we watch the world struggling right now, I don’t think it safed us from anything. So I decided to just be me.
„Mr. Branx, we are looking for a man called John. He was supposed to show up at the west medical control and supply center today. We heared rumours that you always have extra space for misbehaving young people like him. Will you just turn him in or do we have to play hide and seek in your garden? We don’t have time for games like this“. - „Sure“ I said. „Go find him. He might be in the sauna right now though. So maybe not the best time to go get him, it’s cold out and we don’t want more sick people, do we?" I smiled and tried to find my cigarettes. "Look, even if he would be here, why does it bother you? You all go to a better place soon. Leave the rebels and idiots with me, so I can live in hell with them.“ I laughed. „For Gods sake, Greg. You know exactly why we are looking for him. Don’t make us help you have more work again by changing your home a little bit. We don't want you to suffer more. He is a threat!“ - „Ok I got it. I’m sorry. I really just don’t get why you want him to get all these vaccines. He is here and I will take care of him and all his diseases he carries with him. He won’t bother you ok? I will keep him here on this area. I'm sure he won't miss the port and the seagulls...“
The gentlemen looked at each other, not really sure what to do next. „Don’t ever think bothering us. We warned you. And I don’t think you can enter he city again with a health thread like that in your home.“ I nodded and thanked the genltemen as they returned to their cars.
I myself went back into the house. I don’t know if this is the right thing to do. But I guess there’s no better alternatives. I looked at John and his pale skin covered with scratches. What a poor young guy in a sick world like this. But he will be much better soon. "You have to eat John. Take this and after dinner, make sure you don't miss the sauna". I gave him a special drink which will boost his immune system. "I hope you feel home soon, Johnny!". He smiled.
