`` On October 22, 2044, Louis Irvin died at age 85. I remember visiting him once before he passed, and he told me that he `` wished he could have just one more year.'' The cruel thing was that he only would have needed a day- on October 23, 2044, Google X released the FOYAC: the Fountain of Youth Age Cure. That was three hundred years ago, and to this day, I maintain that Louis was the luckiest man on earth. 
 
 Within three hours of releasing the FOYAC, Google became the wealthiest company in history, and they did n't stop gaining that wealth. Investors wept with joy as their stocks shot higher than Babel. Within a year, Google had merged with SpaceX, and after a decade, they had created a second Earth on Mars. And everyone with half a brain, myself included, moved there to avoid the storm which had been awoken on the planet we used to hold so dear. 
 
 There is something terribly sinister about humanity. We harbor thoughts and ideas and beliefs, none of which seem harmful on the surface. But when given the right trigger, these concepts can take forms which the darkest depths of our conscious imagination can not begin to fathom. Eternal life! It is the greatest dream of mankind, of course! It is the key to meaning in life; to have an eternity with which to see the fruits of your actions. But for many, meaning is derived from forms other than that which they do or say. 
 
 September 11, 2101. That was the day upon which the world ended. Enraged by this new technology, the primitive world had risen up and created a weapon so terrible that nothing under the rainclouds could withstand it. On 9/11/2101, the Church of Scientology released a toxin into the sky which poisoned the rainclouds; filled them with cyanide. Within a year, every human who failed to escape was dead. 
 
 Mars is n't so bad, but it's not like home. Everything here is the same; red, red, more red. Some have tried to truly terraform it, but I fear that by the time that is done, we will have moved from humanity. Whether this shall be a step forward or back I can not say. Perhaps we shall remain here, stagnant as rocks. Perhaps some will reproduce, and their progeny shall surpass us and destroy us all. Perhaps we will kill each other off, either by war or by mere overpopulation. I wo n't be around to know.
