NEAR FUTURE (SCIENCE FICTION)

 


The Year 3000-

The Lifespan of Human beings have got shortened. They live a Baby life of 8 years. They are born out of Babies of 5 years. And after living 8 years they die a cool death that is called Euthanasia.

There is a Baby kingdom where the King and Queen is 6 Years old. They have a strong scientific gadget that is called Time machine with which they travel in past and future.

The Baby King makes a plan to visit the year 3500 with his Baby Queen . They set out for the journey. And after reaching the world of 3500 they find scorching summer is prevailing over the world.

Getting down from the time machine they find that the world has become entirely Robotic.The Plants, House, River , Animals and the other creatures are not human but Robots . All the things are created by themselves and nothing looks natural but very Artificial.

The Baby King and Queen try to make friend with one of human like Robots. The Robot says - " Give me a Gold coin as you are a King, otherwise I won't help you.... nothing comes free.... normal money we take from normal people."

The King provides him with a Gold coin. The Robot starts telling about his time and helps them to go to the underground where the place is cooler as the Sunray does not reach there. They enter a playhouse like bungalow and takes rest.  The food is served to them is made of metal which they can not intake.

The Queen suddenly says , " Hey hubby, here is no sunlight and I am not getting tanned. Let's live here for more days."

Before the King says something the Robot interrupts-" You human beings are foolish ever. Don't you see that our food is made up with metals. You are not able to consume it. And did you brought enough Gold coins to provide me?" " As the daytime will be over the validity of your coin will be over . To stay here you every moment will need money."

Then the King says-" I feel hungry after a long journey and the water here is made out of Carbon dioxide which is very harmful for human beings like us. It will shorten our life span more !"

Then the Robot says- " We have created our Sun from a power capsule, our Sun reacts like living beings. When it cries there is yellow light,when it smiles there is white light, when it is angry the scorching heat spreads all over the Earth. And we don't have Seasons like your time. We only get the results of our own mechanical creations.

We don't have Emotions like you because it needs more money to live with emotions. Our Ruler asks for Taxation if anybody shows any emotional reactions. But we created the Sun with emotions because it helps us to work with electronic goods which is dealt with electricity which we take out of the Sun."

As the Daytime passes, in the sky the Artificial Moon appears,it spreads a Blue dreamy light. The air cooler starts emitting very different air in that Bungalow.The Baby King and the Baby Queen starts getting suffocated.The Robot says -" it's time to return to your era as it's night. The supply of Oxygen is not there in night !" 

The King asks - " Then how do you live?".

" We live by Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Carbon dioxide stored on our back cylinder. Only in day time we get Oxygen and feel sleepy and hungry, Oxygen is a very Problematic gas which is still now needed. But in near future we will abolish the gas from Earth and Methane will take the place. Oxygen causes emotions which is very costly to live in this era.".

The King catches the hands of the Queen and Rushes to the door -" Please tell us where have you kept our time machine?" He asks the Robot. Restlessly .The Robot answers - " The validity of you gold coins is over. I am no more your friend."

The King offers him the Last Gold coin he is having.Then the Robot helps them - " Just go through this tunnel and reach upper layer of Earth and soon get back to your time. That will be a Wise Act. Good bye!"

After returning back to Babies' Kingdom The King and Queen share their story of journey to the year 3500... Every one says -" Though our Life Span is Short but we live in fresh air which will be vanished in near future, we human Babies will be abolished and Robots will take our place. Alas!!!"
