Week 8: Global Warming on Seattle

Underwater Seattle: https://www.goodfon.com/wallpaper/underwater-seattle-washington.html


It’s year 7010, I’ve travelled way too far into the future and now I have no way of getting back. I was only supposed to go 50 years into the future, but somehow, I punched 5,000 into my time machine instead and I landed in what used to be Seattle but is now covered in water from what looks to be the effects of global warming. My time machine sunk but I was luckily able to escape, thanks to the windows that weren’t automatic—yep I rolled them down for my exit after I crashed and was able to swim to the top of the Space Needle. This place looks nothing like I remember it to be. It’s always been surrounded by water, but now there’s a lot more of it. There aren’t as many people and they’ve all congregated and began new colonies at the highest destinations, around the mountain ranges.
Even if I could get my time machine out of the water somehow, the people here have completely stopped using fossil fuels—so I wouldn’t even have gas to get home. It’s like everyone is living back in the little house on the prairie days—which I guess is necessary if the only planet they can live on is this affected by their actions.
