Beware The Metal Age




Clink

Clank

Ding

Pssssht


Do you hear it? The sounds of the metal-men. The rumbling of their steel contraptions and the hissing of pipes, the buzzing of electricity traveling across vast networks of thin wires. The Metal Age has come, and none can escape its grasp. They are already chipping away at the stone foundations of the past and replacing them with iron-plated monstrosities that cover whole villages and even cities. The green fields of yesterday now flattened by smog-bloated factories, with red-eyed faux-humanoids watching their new slaves toil away.

So, will you lie down and obey, and hope to gain a few privileges along the way? Or will you go against the unstoppable and fight, content with death over servitude? Perhaps you will master their contraptions, know more about these invaders than they know themselves, and turn it all against them. That is up to you.

Oh no, Dr.Eggman finally got his wish.

I have been considering making a futuristic short story based on a song. Just because it's an image that popped in my head. So maybe I'll stir something up?

*I'll just edit this with my prompt when I make it*

Notice there's never any birds around anymore ... used to be birds. Singin' in the morning to wake you up. Singin' at night, lookin' for girl birds to meet up with. Kinda sad.

@catchamber Since you asked for it. Not exactly what I'd use for my writing resume. But I guess I didn't entirely hate it in the moment. <.<'




This is not a submission for voting.

Original plan was to produce a five act story with each separate act being written in a different/unique writing style, expanded from an idea I had in my head. But I figured, I wouldn't have time after how I've been feeling and I changed it around to only be a three act structure (two of the smaller acts mashed together.) So this only a third of story that had already been cut down, but I guess I learned about time management and how you cannot predict your surroundings sometimes.

If you want to read, or even critique. Feel free. (Praise will make me feel better about my doubts, and telling me it's awful will make me feel better for not finishing it. So win-win. Ha ha.) Just noting I didn't get to go through my usual editing process, so it may be more sloppy than my usual work. Didn't finish it because I doubted I could finish it to my standards (or in time for posting.)



Though I expect some interesting and interestingly written stories folks, don't let me down. Best of luck for those who follow through with their submissions.
