WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a letter to a friend, from the perspective of someone living 100 years in the future.

What commonplace things might they mention that would surprise a reader now, and how can you use these to drive an interesting narrative?

Writings

Hi There. Again.

To my old friend, Alex—


I don’t even know if this will ever reach you. Hell, I’m not even sure I’ll get a message back. But if by some miracle this makes it through—if the wormhole stabilizer holds—then maybe this letter will find its way across the years.


It’s been 100 years, Alex. One full century.


Somehow, I made the jump. I skipped forward. I don’t fully understand how I survived it—or why....

If Only I Knew

Hey, we haven’t talked in quite a while. I know what you’re thinking, and I’m sorry. Sorry for everything really.

I know that no cheezy apologies of mine will fix things, but before you toss this letter aside….please Jane, just give me a chance. I need you to sit down for a moment and just read this.

It was hard for me too. I didn’t exactly have a choice—not in a way you think. I don’t remember ...

Shadow world

So, do you remember ā€˜The butterfly effect’? A movie where somebody travels to the past to influence the future. Or the other way around, I don’t remember exactly. Anyway, or didn’t work. Every change had consequences that were not pleasant. Turned out he just had to accept the present.


I didn’t do that, accepting the present I mean. How could I, could you or anyone? The world was going to hell. T...

Before?

Dear Jane,


I just met a nice group of friends, accidentally actually. I was on the sky train to my mothers villa. When they hopped in the train, they just created small talk. Like... "What brand of robots that I liked best?ā€ At first I thought nothing of it until they got off at the same plat as me. The girl with long blonde hair was doing most of the talking of the four. She asked me what I was ...

The Future Isn’t Good (But It Isn’t Bad)

Dear Klaus,


This letter comes to you 100 years in the future. Today, so many things have changed. We laugh at cars not flying. We’re suprised that chocolate bars used to be $3. That nobody had robots do everything for them. That we didn’t even have the technology to make dogs talk!


Everyone always speaks of the future like it is something to look forward to so much, but I feel different...

Dear Friend

Dear friend,


They say this letter might reach the past, so… hi. I live in 2125. It’s loud here, always bussing with drones, holograms, artificial voices. Silence doesn’t really exist anymore.


People don’t talk much either. We send thought notes. Fast. Clean. Empty. I’ve never had a real conversation without a screen between us.


So I’m writing this like you used to-Slow, messy, and human. I don...

Socializing

Well, hi, my dear friend


Does it feel weird to you, writing like this? I learned this from ancient history class. The scientist wanted done us to write a message in hopes they can send it back in to the past. I do wonder what it was like back then. I know people say that things weren’t as advanced back then but….. writing this, in this way. It feels…I guess it feels more complete. I sometimes wis...

Dear Owen,

I read about this communication form back in History. And since nothing else is working…


Well, here goes.


I kind of like this. It feels a little bit more permanent than intermessaging. Like, I can delete messages but I can’t get the ink off of the page. If that makes any sense. And then there’s the sound of the pen scratching, and the smell of the paper, and it all just feels so… real, I guess....

Twain Sun

When the idea of friendship was inevitable at the age of four passing a ball to one another the real inevitability of sustaining the friendship was begging to be come true. Mark even at that age we were so prudent to not repel yet once and never we live to place doubt in our hearts that one day fruition will come to the ideas we sought....
