Chapter 1
.
Narration: You enter this world at your own risk. This is the future, not a world that will be, but one that might be. The year is 2075. The people we are about to meet have inherited a strange peace. 50 years ago at this hour two great armies were preparing for war. It was a war nobody wanted, yet everyone seemed powerless to stop. Then a curious thing happenned, the two leaders got together one last time, and agreed to peace. Ever since the question has always been whether these two opposing sides could live together peacefully, or if this was merely delaying the inevitable. While the rest of the world takes sides America has largely remained neutral. It prides itself on welcoming all peoples, all races, all religions. But do these opposing sides truley get along? That is the question you shall have to ponder as we begin our story. The young man with the notebook is studying the "Great Revelation" in his history class. He has to write a report on how the world has changed since then. And we shall start with him.

Jacob thought about this assignment. He had inherited this world, his parents had been small children when the Great Revelation occurred. His assignment was he had to keep a journal, write it to someone who hadn't experienced this world. It was to last the rest of the school year, mr Miller wanted at least one entry per week. Jacob had to think about his world, how it had changed. Finally he began.

"Hello friend. The year is 2075, for me. If you live in 2024 or earlier the world has changed a lot. In 2025 the second coming of Christ occurred. He united all the faiths of the holy land. Christianity, judaism, and islam. Apparently none of them got it completely right, but they all had some good ideas. The new religion became known as "Chrislam." People thought this would bring eternal peace and prosperity to our world. Unfortunately at this time Satan also came unto the scene. Most of the nations of the world, and almost every individual, took one side or the other. It looked like it was going to be world war 3, and it seemed unlikely that humanity would survive this time. Then, our president, Bob Casey jr, declared that America would be neutral. We've always had freedom of religion in this country. So it stood to reason that if someone wanted to be a satanist they could be a satanist. And if someone wanted to be a chrismujew they could be a chrismujew. President Casey even offerred his services as a mediator to broker a peace agreement. And despite the cynics who said war was inevitable, it worked. Christ and Satan officially signed a peace agreement at the White House on July 4th 2026. Since then the two sides have had a cold war going on. This means they are not at war, but they don't get along well. America has both, has tried to avoid the extremes of either side. We don't stone people to death for adultery like they do in Arabia. Nor do we chop the heads off those who refuse to take the mark of the beast like they do in Holland. My family believes in chrislam. I can't say I have many satanist friends, but I don't get into fights with the satanists at schol either. That's a good introduction, I'll talk more about this world in my next entry.
