Fiction: Group 4
Epidemic of "The Future God"
Cheung Chuk Shan College, Lam, Ting Hin - 15, Fiction: Group 4
uturer, a kid born in China in 3000, he had yellowish skin, dark hair and glittering eyes. He was
hardened and had an ambitious plan. He lived in a slum in City Number twelve along the Pearl
River Delta. He was poor but positive. Although his life was being controlled, he still waited for
freedom to come. Slum City Number twelve was responsible for making weapons, it was located at the
southern part of the Pearl River Delta. It also contained huge amount of guards, and escape seemed
impossible.
Thirteen years ago, a monster silently appeared on the delta river and began to devour it step by step. The
monster was so called "God of The Future". It was as large as a giant, as mythic as a ghost and as strong as a
great lion. He was three times taller and four times wider than a human. Everybody around the Pearl River
Delta knew that it lived in the cave at the end of the river. He struck the surrounding countries and
devoured them, turning the cities into his kingdom; He destroyed everything in the river region and just
constructed twelve slums to trap the villagers. In order to maintain his energy, he had to consume one
hundred villagers per day. Although everyone knew of his terror, they still treated the slums as their
accommodation, even though they realized their slums weren't safe at all, nobody had the courage to break
into the cave and challenge the monster as it could be in vain, until one day......
"Take your food and scram back to your prison!" The food distributor shouted. Everybody in City Number
12 queued up and silently waited for the food, including Futurer and his friends, Dolly and Porek. Futurer's
parents died 15 years before because of the rubric of "The Future God", which means his parents were killed
when fighting with the monster and were consumed. Before Futurer's parents' died, they said," Without
changes, the future will just be the future, everything will remain the same." At the age of three, Futurer
certainly couldn't understand the meaning of this phrase, but these words were still in his mind specifically,
persistently and thoroughly.
On the other hand, it was not just City Number twelve, other cities around the Pearl River Delta would
randomly pick three persons and put them in the same prison and that's why Futurer, Dolly and Porek met.
Near the river, there were enormous antiquated factories that produced bombs, tanks and missiles. The
schedules of them were generally the same every day --- Making missiles, eating, sleeping had become
mainly the three things they must do.
Their life in City Number 12 seemed peaceful, but actually no one lived joyfully and some of the villagers,
including Futurer, Dolly and Porek, weren't satisfied with the strict rules and the restrictive life, so they
started to get to know one another during lunch hour. They firstly just discussed the uneasy and insensible
life they had, after a few months, they discussed something totally different.
"This place is just like a horrible and mythic jail," a villager shouted, "There are loyal monster soldiers
everywhere, they always stay besides you and supervise your activities, making you live like a slave!"
Abruptly, Futurer yelled, " I can't adapt to this living environment and come to terms with my parents'
death, it's totally unacceptable." Although everyone was shocked at first, they sobered down and give the
nod to Futurer.
During the several weeks, they were planning to break into the monster's palace, returning everything back
to normal.
However, breaking into the palace was not as easy as they thought, it was the most challenging act in the
world. There were plenty of towers at which over one thousand soldiers were stationed. It was not easy to
get there. Inside the palace, there was a huge number of gates and there were petty methods to enter it. The
fact that let them down most was the palace was constructed far away from City Number twelve, and the
distance was nearly fifty kilometres.
