The Countdown
Story:
6:2:17:23,
Six days, two hours, seventeen minutes, twenty-three seconds until the sphere resets. This is how long until life as we know it ceases to exist. What if I told you that on one day, the entire world ended? Natural disasters out the ass, nuclear explosions, biological warfare, etcetera etcetera. Anyways, people prepared for this; they anticipated the would-be apocalypse and created an entire city known as "The Sphere". Only the most important people were permitted into this sanction, and a new generation of the most intelligent. These people included United States, President Obama, Bill Gates, Tim Cook, Satya Nadella, Mark Zuckerberg, and a numerous amount of other big-guys or girls. Since then, the level of importance has gone by wealth, and many figures of previous importance have been stripped of such in return for new city additions or if the government deemed them having "an excessive amount of currency."
No, this isn't like the movie Tomorrowland, this is the actual city built to shelter and recreate the human race. I mean, we did have around only ten million people two-hundred-something thousand years ago, and they didn't even have a taste of the technology we have today. But the Sphere was meant to reset, to kill off every single member above the age of forty-six to fifty-eight years old after their children have grown to the next appropriate age to have coitus when children are going to be birthed the most. The process of resetting the population is usually carried out through programmed drones with an index of every citizen's ID code.
Now, after ten Resets, unofficial scientists officially believe that it's safe to inhabit the outside portion of the Earth again. Although, the government's scientists declare that it is uninhabitable and their opposing disputants are trying to commit treason, therefore the government threw them into jail.
Although, you believe the same as the wrongfully accused scientists... it turns out many people do. You have about seven days until at least two of your loved ones are purged... will you escape and prove the government wrong or overthrow the government entirely? Your fate, you decide.
Classes of Society:
Society is divided into four separate classes to distinguish importance in this aristocracy-based government.
Class D - Class D citizens are the wealthiest class of citizens known within in government's system aside from the High Chairman and his Vice Chairman. Often owning two or more means of transportation and at least owning one small business, Class D citizens also have a higher entry-card for different locations such as testing sites, armaments stores, warehouses, and even the Tower.
Class C - Class C citizens are a more wealthy than Class A and Class B citizens, but still not as wealthy as Class D citizens. They can easily own one luxury car and then a cheap pickup truck, but most definitely cannot own anything more than again, one luxury car and a cheap pickup truck. They do own small local, neighborhood businesses such as fast food restaurants, local convenient stores, and gasoline pumps for vehicles. Their entry-card allows them to enter most locations including the racetrack, nightclubs, warehouses, and armaments stores.
Class B - Class B citizens are quite poor, only able to afford apartments or houses in the ghetto. They often deal drugs with the occasional Class B citizen making a athletic scholarship to a mediocre college. They can barely afford cars, and they receive a weekly allowance of two-hundred dollars to support their families. Some Class B citizens have created gangs to raid Class C/D areas or exploit the poverty of Class B/A citizens into giving them their weekly allowance. Their entry-cards only permit gas pumps, convenient stores, grocery stores, fast food restaurants, ATMs, and government-owned property.
Class A - Class A citizens are by far the poorest out of the entire system, not owning property, cars, and sometimes clothes to last them a week, Class A citizens are the ones who are most frequently becoming criminals rather it be gangsters, drug dealers, or robbers. Although, the government has provided shelters for them to have warm showers, hot meals, and a mattress to sleep on with a roof over their heads. They have very limited entry-cards with the only three locations being convenient stores, shelters, and clinics. They're often treated with the most disrespect except from Class B citizens.
Important Locations:
The Tower: The center of the city, The Tower is home to ninety-nine percent of all government-related meetings with government officials. It is magnificent and can be seen from any point in the city, the pinnacle is dawned with a large spire with a golden base and an emerald ball adorning the top. Some say, during dawn, the sun reflects perfectly into the center of the emerald and casts a faint green light across the entire city.
Capnium Bank: In downtown, this is the essential bank of the city. It is made of marble with granite floors and the most secure vault in the world. It goes three miles underground, surrounded in cement with a inner-shell made of titanium and a twenty-four hour shift of professionally trained guards. On Class C+ citizens are allowed into the bank as Class B citizens and below are too poor to open a savings account with the bank.
Walmart Establishments: After the apocalypse, C. Douglas Mcmillion opened the Walmart MEGA establishment in downtown and then began to open up smaller establishments in multiple locations throughout the city. They sell groceries, electronics, clothing, office equipment, etcetera etcetera.
Mongsgrove Park: Mongsgrove Park is a government-owned property spanning six acres of land with a large fountain holding seven layers with horizontal jets facing inwards.
