The Cold Goes On
So it was a whopping -24 today. A bit on the brisk side to be sure. The hair around my face frosted from my breathing when I took the dog for a walk. Jethro the mighty, likes to walk, even in frigid temperatures. The snow is too deep in the yard for him to run…

There were trees, animals, and the weather while not hot, wasn’t cold, although the wind had a cold bite. Contraband tech was brought out and certain people tried charging their PCD’s (personal communication devices)…

Read MorePrequel Part 5: the origin story
To catch everyone up, I decided to include a brief synopsis of what we know so far. Humans on earth have poisoned the air. Radiation is an issue, water is expensive and given a chance to leave the planet and start over, volunteers were lining up all over the planet. EarthCorp has a bad reputation…
