“Tweets from 2112” All-Stars: Part 2
We'll be announcing the winner of our “Tweets from 2112” writing challenge on Wednesday, October 31. In the meantime, we're rolling out the All-Stars as chosen by our intrepid readers at SF Canada.
Just to recap, we asked you to take a time machine 100 years into the future and send us a message via Twitter (while using the hashtag #canadawrites). Here are some of our favourites:
Environment
Larissa Andrusyshyn @highwiregirl A special low price on SPF 500 allowed little Miley to go outside for the first time since the great ozone crisis of 2044
A Novel Woman @anovelwoman Great deals at Arctic Circle Resort - swim, golf, beach volleyball - your hammock awaits
Sherry Peters @sherry_peters Beach-front property values skyrocket in tropical Churchill, Manitoba
Melissa Dimock @refashionista Travelocity has a bang-up deal on a weeklong stay at Sandals Iqualuit! Take SPF 50, though
biolite @biolite I think it was a good idea to exploit our oil resources. I do miss Vancouver and all those other coastal cities though...
Shilpa @ShilpaRaikar I hear you used to live in homes that you owned. Earth became expensive. Our ancestors left to find a better life on Mars
Corey Redekop @CoreyRedekop It's a hard life, toiling in the betacarotene mines for our sentient carrot overlords. Good health plan, though.
Laurie Burns @lauriecburns No one has eaten meat since 2056. Most survive on mushrooms from underground tunnels, sugar packets and bread grown in closets
Melissa Dimock @refashionista The electric car was a great innovation -- at least so long as we had electricity #horsepower
Kenneth T. Williams @feralkenneth Underwater tours of Old Winnipeg seen as economic boon for Saskatchewan
Charlotte Ashley @CharlotteAshley Will global cooling harm aquaculture? Scientists warn carbonic acid levels declining, cite lack of new C02 sources.
John S. Barker @bricksnostraw Nanotech "fog" offers new hope for global cooling, but G2 can't agree on implementation timeline. Shanghai Accord endangered.
Archie Kubacki @akubacki IMF decision final, G-4 signs on, calorie and water credits are now standard world currency. Gold prices down to a trickle.
Colleen @30Minutes4Me Plastic dump found! Excellent source of plastoline due to high water bottle & plastic bag content. Will power GTA 4 ten years!
James Putnam @JamesPutnam Now that the Grand Canyon is full, people begin to ask where will we put our trash?
TheBFC @FunnyGeekCanuck Suncor's 'Snowflake' Arcology for workers again has problems with power and water supply, CEO Niven says 'No comment'
Gerald Brandt @GeraldBrandt South Africa joins world in banning fracking as Port Elizabeth sinks into ocean.
Patrick Rowe @rialweght 50th hurricane this year. Management team needs a smack. Control weather or it controls you! #globalsystems
Mike Likes Burgers @mikelikesburger Every year, we visit the corpse of Vegas. There we vigil for the city where we could have anything we wanted, but water
MomRedefined (Tracy) @MomRedefined Oh good, it's garbage day - my favourite day of the year.
Natasha Master @NatticusMaximus Iqaluit celebrates 50 years as Canada's capital. Archipelagos of Ontario and Quebec commemorate anniversary of Great Flood.
Natalie @OceanScented Have you tried the Million $ water bath at the spa? It's amazing how clean you feel with pure water. Sacred resource ya know.
Zachary MacDonald @ZackAndHisMoney Back from a visist to Prince Edward Archipelago--Cavendish's hydroponic potato farms are looking great.
John S. Barker @bricksnostraw More than 300 tours a day to see first polar ice in more than 70 years. Can the arctic take it?
Mark A. McCutcheon @sonicfiction Hunters have moved on. Kids sleeping, despite heat. Power low: one last crowdbeg for #food or #meds, pls DM if u can share.
GJV @G_Veers Visited the bio-museum in quad 11 today. Smelt a bio-rose for the 1st time. Inferior to our synths. Praise the #ORG
Sherry @sdramsey Some of Gramma's old recipes are gross--seems like meat was made from real animals back then. #futuremom
Stay tuned for Part 3 of our “Tweets from 2112” All-Stars tomorrow.
