You know how people are wondering what the future is, right? Well, I guess I can tell you some of it. And by some, I mean some, and that's it!

Okay, so it's the year 2434. Everybody is in a panic because of the soon-to-be-coming deflation of the sun. This means that the sun will shrink, and all 6 planets and 15 dwarf planets will come towards the sun. Oh, also, Mars and Jupiter became dwarf planets in 2344. I'm not sure how, but they did.

So, anyway, everybody was scrambling to the stores for waters, lanterns, candles, food, and wood to block up the windows. Well, we have new things called window sealers. They help all things not come into the windows. But, there's no more in stores, at least of what we know of.

Everybody wishes to get access to their street's time-traveling machines. Yes, they exist now as well. But, because of emergency circumstances, they're all closed. Some people wanted to travel to tomorrow to see what happened, while others want to go to the past so they don't have to go through the sun's deflation.

For once, I was praying. I was praying to not die. And my only reason for believing that I would die is because everybody thought they would.

Then, my mom said "It's time." So, we turned off all the lights, unplugged everything, and turned off all electronics. We even turned off all the fans, even though it was as hot as hell, literally. We turned on the lanterns and lit one candle per room. Luckily, we also had a s**t ton of portable fans we just placed randomly around the house.

To entertain ourselves, we played "Pears'n'Apples." It's like "Apples to Apples," but whoever gets the green card slaps everyone except the dealer and themselves. I normally win the game.

The, we heard the hugest boom of our lives. Then, there was this invisible force that pulled us forward. This force lasted for nearly 20 seconds. We all fell to the ground after the force let us go and curled up into balls like hamsters. It was so weird though how nothing else in the house was effected though.

Despite my family being safe for the most part, all the other families came out of their houses moaning in pain. Some just had some bruises here and there, while others had glass piercing their skin. Some even came out carrying a body or two, but there weren't many dead.

Hover ambulances started flooding the sky. They flooded the world with flashing red and blue lights and oh so many loud sirens. So many cops, so many ambulances, fire trucks, just so much was going on!

My family went back inside as I stood there, helplessly. I was just in so much shock from what just happened. But, suddenly, I was up into the air. I was in something I couldn't understand. I just didn't know how all of this was happening. Everything around me became dark. It was something I never knew of, even now.

But, now, I'm in front of a gazing ball. These events aren't happening right now, because it's in the future. You know why this story is unfinished, and I don't know the rest? Because the future only holds so much.

Right now, it may only be 2016. But, the story takes place June 2nd, 2434, and my gazing ball can only go up to that exact date. So, the rest of the future remains a mystery to us. So, we won't even know what else will happen until June 3rd, 2434. See you there.
