Year 2090, Zyla's Age - 23

Alessia and Zach Age - 10

I wake  up to the sound of shouting. I jerk up and see Alessia and Zach playing and shouting. Those two would be the death of me.

"Be quiet will ya!" I shout at them. They look at me with sheepish expressions.
"Sorry about that," Zach says. I roll my eyes and get up. No matter how annoying those two could be, I couldn't stay mad at them for long.

I look at the time. 2 hours till the first moon rises. Nedroj has a total of 4 equidistant moons and therefore we have around 4 night times and 4 day times in 24 hours. Each day/night lasts for three hours. But since they last for such short durations, we kept 24 hours as one day nonetheless. So, to accustom to these conditions, the electricity here as developed in a way, to make night time seem as day too.

The star Nedroj revolves around is called Nus as a reminder of our sun. It takes a total of 10800 hours in other words 450 days [day=24 hours] to revolve around the Nus.

Nedroj also experiences only 3 seasons in a year. Spring isn't a season here, only ​​one place in the entire Nedroj that experiences Spring and to be honest, it's not even half as beautiful here as it was on earth. The tides are higher, the creatures are more ferocious, there are hardly any flowers, and the soft breezes aren't actually soft, even the softest of winds bring dust along.
But, I guess, this is home right? Home sweet home.....
The worst thing is Alessia and Zach hardly remember earth.... I guess it's for the best though.... They do remember the vague details..... and after coming back they slowly healed....by forgetting....

It's been just 5 years here, but I can already see changes... I mean of course many people had started living here before me including my parents, sister and friends....but..... It seems humans still haven't learnt their lesson. They've apparently found a mineral with similar characteristics to coal, and though it causes less smoke, the amount that is used to produce the required thermal energy here is just....you get the idea....

According to Ash, we might destroy this planet too in around 200 years, ironic right? Seems like we can never learn from our mistakes....

It makes me wonder if I can do anything to change it, but.. I've tried before and it didn't work.. Who says this time it will....?

I look at the twins playing and slowly an idea blossoms into my head.... Maybe, we just have to believe in ourselves. We can't just give up. Not this time..
