Prologue of Before

(On the spot, so there WILL be editing stuff.)

The future is a wonderful and exciting thought: a world created by imaginative humans, a world where they blow away their troubles onto the shoulders of the ones who will live there soon enough, so they can creat the world, as well as take away the original people's troubles.
Wonderful, but not exactly accurate.
Flying cars, hover cities, tv phones, everything you think of when you hear 'future'.
Well, I for one am sick of it.
Helpful futures, perfect worlds, flying buildings, are all created to keep people from going insane. They hate the present, so create a "better" future! One they, nor their grandchildren or great-grandchildren, will ever see. Flying cars? Just more energy you need to power them. Perfect worlds? Who's perfect? Flying BUILDINGS??? Who in their right MINDS would want those?
All of it is just an illusion.
And I, as well as 399 other people are paying the price for the people who created those fantasies to put off progress.
Well, not exactly paying the price, but are the result of putting off progress.
You see, in 40,000,000,000,010 A.D, there will be no trees. No sky, no grass, no EARTH. This is around the time when the universe is dying. And we are still here.
On a hovercity around the LAST red dwarf star, (an EXTREMELY dim star) 400 people still go about their day, about their day in extreme fear of the future.
The only future we have is dying.
And some of us can't stand that fact.
I for one, and my 3 friends, are trying to spread the word around that we're going to die sooner than we thought. Therrie and Kir are the brains of the project, and have discovered that the next radiation burst is going to happen in a week, killing all of the adults and letting the little kids free to roam around, possibly killing themselves as well.
And for some reason, it won't hit us. We aren't sure either. We think that it has to do with our composition. We're all 16, so we aren't kids, but we also aren't adults either. The adults will get hit because of some wierd gland or something... Once again, we aren't so sure ourselves. But, kids under 16 won't be affected.
So far, with our meager supply of info, we aren't getting alot of followers. But we're dead serious! Man, it's just so annoying...
So, my future isn't really helping to blow my troubles away- it's really just adding to them.
Oh, joy.
