Abandon my Glass House ! 放棄我的玻璃屋。。

I decided to move to a new home, though I've lived at my current home for several months only. It's a nice place, a "glass House" in shallow sea zone . I could swim whenever I step outside my home. I could come to the roof of my house, enjoy the sea breeze while zipping coffee during sunset. At night I love to lay on my super-sized bed at my underwater bedroom. Draw apart the window curtain, I could watch groups of colorful coral fishes swimming around. I could play all kinds of water sports day and night. I should be very Happy. However I start feeling bored when everyday live like this.

According to the global constitutional law, every citizen aged over 16 has the right to "Own a Home". This "home" could be built or bought from the market. The World Government will provide me all the support either financially or technically. And I couldn't wait to enforce my "right" when I passed my 17-year old birthday last year. Originally I had designed a mushroom-shaped underwater glass house myself, and drafted some floor plans already. The World Government also send an architect and a civil engineer to help me. But I heard that it takes several years to get approvals from different departments, before I could actually get a license to build my dream house. So I finally decided to buy an existing one.

Every person could only has a free "Home" once in a life time (recently some politicians argue it should be 2 or 3 times.). After you own your first "Home", you could sell or exchange it with other people, and the World Government would even give the "little angel" (aged 16~25 ) citizens some renovation grants each time they move to a new home. I heard that some people made big money just by selling and exchanging their free Home. Of course I'm not a greedy person.

I've searched the "info wall", seen numerous 3D images and finally picked up a few choices. One is the recent big hit "ancient walled buildings" in Asia. These high density residential towers were once criticized by people in the old days that apartments in these buildings were too small and not suitable for human to live inside. The World Government had declared these building as monuments and forbid people to live inside.

Until two years ago, a bunch of young lawyer won a court case and successfully seized the ownerships of several lines of these walled buildings, many of them are located in Hong Kong, a bustling city hundreds years ago. They then hired celebrity designers to design and renovate interiors of these buildings, combined several apartments into one, so conformed to the "Human Living Space Protection" law. Now these re-packaged apartments have became "dream home" of the elites. Those top-notch scientists, engineers or lawyers said they get bored living at their spacious and isolated houses, and like the warm and bustling atmosphere in these "crowded" apartment buildings. They also like to encounter and talk to their neighbors every time they leave or come home.

I may probably choose one of these apartments to be my "next" home. The only thing that make me reluctant to leave, is the girl living near my home who would swim to my home every night. And she is naked every time. Why she doesn't like to wear clothes?

The Pink Mosaics ... 粉紅色的馬賽克

one day in the future ...

No sound, Fear, Running and Fresh Blood.

A mushroom cloud is rising slowly and quietly in front of the deep blue sky, then another follows, and more and more ...

Giant glass column tubes of different diameters are scattered in a shallow water zone in the middle of pacific ocean. They are actually a group of chicly designed independent houses. Each has three floors, the bottom floor is under water. The interior have different styles also. Some have big sofa, sleeping bed, cartoon figures, furry dolls. The other have Jacuzzi and acient roman sculpture installed. Some have reflective wall film, so not allow people or fishes ouside to see through, cover these houses a shroud of mystery. To look closer, inside one glass tube a pair of nude boy and girl are chasing each other around their home. The other side, on one tube 's rooftop a young boy is lying comfortably in the beach chair, enjoying the sunshine. Few people are doing wakeboarding on the sea.

To move the eyesight down underwater ... a bunch of colorful coral fishes are kissing the tubes' glass walls, eating algae attached on the glass surfaces. Several curious dolphins are swimming around. A big curved message screen is installed in almost every glass tube house. Apart from these, you can see "soldiers" wearing sensors on their upper body are fighting at their homes. One is sitting on a sofa chair with his mini pet sleeping aside. One is standing. One whose upper body is lying against a cool lime rock column, her legs are immersed in the Jacuzzi. To look from the far side, this place is really like the heaven, deep blue sky and water. People (Angels) here don't like to wear clothes and feel shame either ...

Superficially these soldiers do not have any disciplines. They are actually belong to a group of elite special forces under the World Parliament Army, named "the angel forces". It composed of boys and girls with average age of 16. Their eyes' and fingers' muscle nerve response is at least 10 times faster than normal people. They are selected from ten of thousands of volunteers. Today their mission is to sit comfortably at their homes, and through the encrypted radio signal to control their "airships" to fly to the enemy unnecessary damage thousand miles away to fight. The civilized new world still has enemy?

Nearly one year ago, a group of primitive people in the green zone elected a new leader. He leaded his followers to tortue a thousand year old tree to death and then burnt it up. After a series of debate and debate and debate, this morning the world parliament finally declared this legally elected leader is against the "Green Bill", and passed an order to arrest him. The content providers are so excited about this news and even put the once so hot "World Lawyers Association vs Scientists' Union" conflict aside.

The world army flagship first drops hundreds of "shake bombs" from the space to the enemy site. These bombs can provoke a mini earthquake. "Its strength will be so weak that it will just make the enemy tunnel network collapse, but won't lead to any unnecessary damage above the ground surface." that's what the elite scientists said but no one has proved that. Then it's the angels 's turn to fight. Their airships will fly close to the ground and kill the enemies one by one. The real-time image will be projected on their message screen at home. It's 100 percent feel like on the real war site, except they won't see the real blood.

According to "Little Angels Protection Bill", a software has to be installed in every little angel's message screen. This software could automatically generate "mosaics"to block the blood or bloody images in less than 0.00001 second after they appear. In the past people use red mosaics, but the psychologists said red mosaics also have "violence" implication, so now only "pink mosaics" are allowed. A bunch of primitive people get hit on head, they will soon turn into a heap of pink mosaics. The screen image is moving fast, the pink mosaic "cloud" explode like firework on a deep green background, with the hit figures on the left bottom corner rising rapidly at the same time. One can imagine the image they're seeing is very artistic. That may be why soldiers these days are all volunteers.

Few primitive people luckily hit down an airship. One of them picks up a piece of metal debris, waves it high to the sky to demonstrate their victory. In just a few seconds they are burst into a heap of pink mosaics. On the far far side, a quiet glass house underwater. A "angel force" member has fight for several hours and feel tired. He presses a button to inform the headquarter, his airship control is immediately shifted to another member. He takes off the sensors, then hugs his male partner to sleep ...

未來世界的某一日 ... 粉紅色的馬賽克

沒有聲音、恐懼、逃跑和鮮血。

一朵蘑菇雲在深藍色的天空下寧靜地緩緩升起。接著是另一朵，還有更多，更多 ...

在太平洋中心某處的淺水區，散布了很多直徑大小不一的巨型玻璃圓柱體，其實是一間間設計精緻的獨立玻璃屋。每條玻璃柱皆有三層，最底的一層在水面之下。裡面的裝修各式其色，一些擺放了沙發椅、睡床、毛毛公仔。另一些在大廳中間裝置了按撫浴池及卡通人物雕塑。還有一些安裝了反光牆幕，完全不讓人看穿內裡的情況，多了一層神秘感。再留心細看，某條玻璃圓柱內一對全身赤裸的少男女在奔跑禧戲。另一邊的玻璃柱頂層天台，一個少男躺在沙灘椅上，悠閒地享受著日光浴。不遠處的海面還有幾個人在滑水 ... ...

Ostrich Riding ...Olympic game

The Olympic game  is coming next week but I don't have any expectation or excitement at all. Only two competitions interest me. One is the "ostrich riding". People don't know why this newly-developed sport would suddenly become so popular and attract so many "little angel" audiences, ha .. like me. It's already replaced the traditional equestrian to be one of the 36 official games. There's really lots of fun watching the "athlete" riding an ostrich to show a series of "natural movements", jumping & running. The judgement is similiar to equestrian also. Though it's a serious competition and so are the althetes' face, sometimes are those well-edited camera shots can hold my interest and make me burst into laughter, well ... such as slow motions of ostrich's running, close-ups of its three-toed feet or expressions on its faces (always open its mouth) ... or a bunch of feathers flying in the air and block a part of the camera after a perfect "jump" ... ... "Group Fighting" is my another choice. Twelve people against twelve people in a 100 x 80 meter square. Each althete wears a "sensor" suit. They can choose their weapon freely ... ... well .... I shouldn't say it's my favourite, my best friend love to watch and so I would watch at times... I personally don't have any expectatipon at all ...

Worldwide General Strike ... 環球大罷工

Virtual News：In a recent court case, a 45 year-old scientist is charged with publicly claiming a 16 year-old girl be his girl friend. Even with the girl's consent, he has not obtained any psychologist assessment report on the girl's cognitive development beforehands, the scientist is against the "little angel protection law". Similiar case could be heard almost everyday. What made it develope into a big news is the prosecutor who is also the chairman of the world lawyers association.
He used the word "scientist weirdo" to describe the defendent in the court. It's this "identity descrimnative " word made scientists all over the world burst into anger. Scientists' Union decided to hold a worldwide general strike until the chairman apologize publicly. The chairman rejected immediately and insisted the word he said was pointing to a particular people in a particular case . Now all crop-growing machines has stopped operating and our civilized people ran into panic. The Union spokesman said the laywers murmur all day long and have no any real contribution to this new world. They kow they're stupid and have no real flair for mathematics and all kinds of creations, so they made a law banning all people saying the word "stupid". It's how they make their living. This time they've to make a law to ban the word"hungry". The other side, the lawyers' association is urging the police to arrest all Scientists Union members and charge them with murder.
Virtual Diary：Early in the morning, an official from the social welfare department rang my door bell and brought lots of food into my home. No kidding, really "lots of", including many bags of rice (I don't eat rice), boxes of spaghetti, corn flakes, canned sandine, smoke salmon, cheese, bread, .... and ... the man said it's enough for my two-month consumption. If I want to refill, just give them a call and the number will be valid until the strike is over. I feel strange ... should i say thank you ... now my home is more like a warehouse ... do they know how much time i've spend on decorating my home???!!! the worst thing is ... if the strike is over tomorrow... how to handle all those spaghetti, corn flakes, canned sandine, smoke salmon????
I also notice he's wearing a recently much hyped "pig" t-shirt. However watching him rudely stuffing all those things into my home, I knew his taste ...
These days all people in our heaven-like new world are living in harmony. The "professionals" look down on each other. "Free persons" live off social welfare, but they work hard on all kinds of artistic creations. The "little angels" (people aged below 18) are all worshipped by the adults and living in their own little worlds. The machines do all the production works. No one is superior to and cares about others, so no conflicts ... except when they all got an urge to possess a little angel.
