[ WP ] It 's the year 3012 , create a world totally different from ours today , take into account Social , Economic , Political and Environmental changes

*** ’ The Age of the Burning Sun ’ *** 
 
 I don ’ t know much about the time before the *Great Change*, only the stories they told us about people living on the surface 
 
 But I don ’ t have time to worry about the past; there is a much greater problem at hand… 
 
 We live miles underground; the Under-Republic calls us the ‘ Colonies ’ 
 
 We can ’ t go onto the surface anymore, because of the Sun. The Sun has gotten so hot that its rays kill humans on contact 
 
 Scientists have come up with some reason for the burning sun, but as I said… I don ’ t have time to worry about it 
 
 As you might have guessed, living underground has its consequences 
 
 Resources are spread thin 
 
 Food is grown and Ore is mined in the Primary Colonies, most of our hard earned gatherings are shipped to other colonies, leaving us with little to survive off of. 
 
 Manufacturing and Industrial factories are in Secondary Colonies, I ’ ve heard rumors that they kill ‘ useless ’ people and use them as fuel to burn 
 
 Tertiary Colonies are for the rich and politically oriented people. I ’ m not exactly sure what they do except get fat and make money off of other Colonies 
 
 There are also special colonies like Research or Botanic Colonies that grow trees and plants for Oxygen 
 
 We have to mine space to live in, but where do we put the excess rubble? We have to dump it on the surface, which is increasingly expensive and difficult to do 
 
 Obviously there isn ’ t enough space to put all the people 
 
 Every month the Under-Republic representatives of each Colony pick a handful of people that they deem * ‘ useless ’ * or not contributing to the society as much as they should 
 
 These people get dumped to the surface at night, and they have roughly three hours before the sun comes up 
 
 I ’ m a coal miner in a Primary colony, * ‘ the lowest scum of the world ’ * according to the Under-Republic 
 
 Life wasn ’ t easy but I still managed to survive and feed my family 
 
 That was until I got *sick* 
 
 It ’ s called * ‘ Black Lungs ’ *, which is damaged lungs from breathing in Coal dust. My productivity has decreased and there definitely isn ’ t a Medical Insurance for Primary Colonies 
 
 And that ’ s why I ’ m on the surface today, because I was deemed ‘ useless ’ by the Under-Republic 
 
 My brothers and I are running west as fast as possible to avoid the rise of the sun 
 
 It ’ s pointless to outrun the sun, but it gives us a sense of… *hope*, something we haven ’ t felt in a long time 
 
 I know the sun is just behind me, I can hear the burning of my brothers who are not as quick as me 
 
 I try to run as fast as I can, but then I just… stop, realizing how pointless my efforts are 
 
 In my last moments, I face the sun rays catching up to me and close my eyes 
 
 I feel a warm heat come over my body, not a burning heat just a… warm heat… a comforting heat… 
 
 How is this possible? How am I still alive? Am I still alive? 
 
 I open my eyes and realize that yes, I am alive and the sun has passed over me. What is this? My brothers burning corpses are near me, but I do not burn. 
 
 This is something new, this is something we haven ’ t felt in a long time, 
 
 this is *hope*
