It is November 22 in 2018, finishing and starting a
new day, Rose, an 11 aged girl could not sleep. She was playing with her
smartphone from early morning to midnight; she was excited because she could
not study before, she suffered depression during almost a year, from last
December 22 when his father, Aedwulf, a 35 years old philosopher, researcher,
university teacher, and pacifist, died in an accident when he went back home
from the Capital City.
Violet, Rose’s mom is a social worker and
researcher too, fortunately, she is alive, she came home two days before
Aedwulf death, and came to prepare 2017 family Christmas, death that made her
change their plans. Their traveling plans to that lake for New Year ...delayed,
Rose’s school changing plans to that school between Capital City and where they
worked ...delayed too, so, Violet’s & Aedwolf’s social researching plans in
a migrant’s community camp had to be completed only by Violet.
Rose was born on December 7, 2006 at 2:01 hours. It
is 2:03, on November 23 2018 and she woke up to check for an App notification
in her mobile from UnEcTyDriveiTM. It was a great surprise when she turned on
her smartphone and discovered an entire “X Folder” by Rose’s father scheduled
to be shown exactly a pair of weeks before her birthday.
That folder had a lot of files and documents, and
after a deep breath Rose tried on all off them, she only could access to a
document called: “Final Instructions”. Immediately she began to read; at first
she found something like a list of web addresses, in the second page, she
watched something she considered as a poem in a non-alphabetical language, it
was a pictorial language, she could not understand neither notice any pictogram
repeated; those pictograms were as big as letters, very difficult to
differentiate one from another.
She watched accurately that “poem-paragraph” and
she spent about 25 minutes on it, those lines had a somnolent effect on her; at
3:00 am Rose opened her eyes and shook her head nervously… She scrolled down
and found some tridimensional pictures. The first of them was a cavern with a
wonderful valley at the end, with the most beautiful flora and fauna; she felt
so relaxed.
Rose took another deep breath and felt happiness
again, later she experienced a vibration in her head, an electric sensation
from the center of her frontal bone to the occipital one. Rose’s mom woke up
her very early and it made she suffered a terrible headache.
They had breakfast as usual, watching their TV in
Worst News ChanneliTM, while Rose was anxious to continue looking for her
smartphone and Violet was hurried to go to her new social project; the new job
was about working with people who were addicted to drugs, with anger problems…
Violet did not enjoy this job, because she could not investigate, she neither
applied all the knowledge got with Aed, Violet cried Rose and she just went
running to her room to catch again her phone.
Violet followed and taught her about sports and
other hobbies Rose had before, but she continued to her room. Violet tried to
persuade Rose, but at 6:27 that morning started the Breaking News music showing
the worst report in all time. “A Civil War started in the Capital City”, just
an hour by car she thought; in this exact moment Violet went for the very big
bags and strongly demanded Rose to catch clothes, money and some food and
water.
Violet and Rose took their car and left the village
where the girl was born in only 45 minutes. They went very fast and far from
the Capital City to the mountains while all around them was falling, the news
reports said, “the only sure place is on the peak” Violet was driving at 100km
per hour; suddenly she remembered a house for rest, but a cause of the very
high speed they crashed a super rock and died.
Rose felt like her soul came back to her body, this
bizarre vision of future was only a nightmare. After finish this terrible
dream, her mom woke up Rose again.
Later, Rose went to the dining room to meet Violet.
They prepared breakfast, they had this meal, Violet turned on their TV to watch
Better News ChanneliTM and they talked about a civil war aborted for marchers;
The TV magazine were presenting one of the best News ever known for humans. An
ancient civil war in their country was finished by a group of pacifist
teenagers, they marched and gave flowers and free hugs to soldiers and
everyone; it was like a soft cream in society’s burnt skin.
After that day a lot of similar marches and free
hugs giving manifestations all around the world occurred and others related
with nature care. People were increasingly inspired to be friendlier with every
person, animal, plant or thing.
That day Rose went out home and say hello to every
neighbor, because she had almost a year without sharing time with others and
all the people in the entire world acted like this; people began to take care
of them, of their relatives and other known and unknown people. It was like
Heaven on Earth.
Rose’s mom woke up her again; she came back from
another dream or universe where she could appreciate destruction and
harmonization processes.
Violet said: Rossy, you slept all the day! It is
full moon tonight! Let us be lit by her now! ...and our future too.
Rose said: Mom, I had a pair of strange dreams, a
horrible one and a wonderful one. And I thank, I was in another...
Violet said: I know Rossy, I know you and I know
you had a pair of long journeys in different Universes, but this is the
Universe we chose and you will live here to the end. Wake up! Baby...
