Part One
Miari
As the sun rises across the sky in its slow arc, Ryard becomes oppressively hot. We welcome the sun, though, welcome the straight heat instead of the awful humidity that comes when the sun hides behind the clouds – which it does most of the time. I shake my head, once again cursing those who ignored global warming until it was far, far too late.
Our ancestors were not the only ones ignoring things, however. Right now, in 2113, people still turn a blind eye to so many things. For instance, the dwindling supply of fossil fuels.
"Mayor Fitch!" someone off to my left screams. "Mayor Fitch!"
