The world as we know it in 2010 has fallen to ruin the earth is uninhabitable.
People leave the surface of the earth for??????
A movement starts many decades later. A group of people star to want to return to a simpler and more organic life style they want food from soil not from machines they want sun shine not sun lamps they want to feel the grass they have only heard about.
We follow one teenager/college age woman who is in the movement things happen time passes she has twins.
As they movement progresses they discover that not all is as it seems. The government /ruling class causes the movement to go into hiding. They develop a communication system/way to stay underground. They learn more about the truth. They gain more popular support.
The woman brings up he kids to believe that they will see the real sun.
A vehicle is created, A map is discovered, tools are made, A journey is planned. The government seeing it’s out of the now tense situation see that they can send these people away and have then never return.
People die on the journey some from some sort of seemingly engineered disease or safety problem much intrigue happens and our mani character comes up with the solution but is struck with it causing her to become frail.
Then journey complete and as they fist set foot on the lush green soil she dies...Cue end line.

I find it incredibly interesting how people's minds are genetically close, but creatively long distances apart. (That's a good thing.) I would never have come up with that story line. Not at all within me. My thoughts included things like imprisonment (standard prison), refugee situation, etc. All things that we could currently see.
ReplyDeleteGood outline. You should try and use this for another mini-NaNoWriMo.
Why did she die?
ReplyDeleteWay to go putting us in the future and making us want to go back to the was we are now. How did you do this? How did you think that far ahead and make the people long to go back?
This is a neat piece. Would LOVE to see more...
There is a book by Andre Norton called "Outside" published in 1979 that had this theme, and the recent book series by Jeanne DuPrau called "City of Ember" has the same theme.
ReplyDeleteWhy does the mother die. Old age, the disease, an injury? who know I haven't written it (yet??) Don't know if I will It is a very done theme.
