We all think that the end of the world would come in the form of an epic world war or a deadly virus.
We talk of death knowing its the end of life but unsure if it's the end of everything we put meaning to.
We talk of evolution unsure if it ever happens during our lifetime.
We hope knowing full well the worst outcome is expected each time.
We grow without certainty of continuity or longevity;though the inevitable end is a brother to death itself.
We make new creations while well aware we can't go against the providence of God or nature,only sure way to immortalize ourselves if through birth of new generations.still we hope our future never falls victim to natural selection.
We talk of religion unsure if its the right way through but we use science as a loophole to conflict the unyielding truth of the universe in a language we understand.
Call it primitive cause it's what we are,however it's exactly this factor that induces the need for survival. It's the same factor that causes the need for growth.
In the year 2057 the first successful black hole project breathed it's first.
After the repeated failures, the black hole project meant to act as an indefinite power-source finally came to life.This became possible thanks to the great engineering experts.The only flaw when the system came to life was the excessive energy.Due to the global cooperation a means to earth the excessive energy to the ground came to place. This ensured the black hole project could be controlled.With this factor in place the black hole became a power station that could power a whole continent.
Despite this factor it's the nature of human beings to give in to their nature and try to be free to rule themselves at their own convenience especially if they have the means.With this the technology started to spread globally and several countries soon had their own black hole systems,after all why waste so much resources on other power projects with limitations when they could actually make one with none.Soon space travel became an easily achievable task.As time went by scientists soon realized that as much as controlling a black hole was achievable shutting one down was almost impossible especially when one was off the planet's surface.In the year 2074 the first black hole in Egypt went wild luckily the energy from the black hole was dispersed in to the earth's surface safely without extreme damages.Apparently the black gave too much energy too fast for the rate of disposal of excessive energy to be handled by the system thus they had to release all the energy by a complete system override this caused an unsettling racket for a short while.Despite the few protests from some of the engineers to halt the program till the technology was fully understood, other governments protested since major powers were on the road to militarizing the black hole.Egypt on the other hand stuck to studying the black hole energy with the cooperation of the African union using the first of the black hole .Soon it was revealed that not only was there the known energy waves but also energy with its own very unique attributes.In the year 2078 black holes in the world started to emit more energy ;at least that was what they thought at first.until a year later nobody thought this to be a problem rather they saw it as a means to expand .In the same year the a major black hole was contained and moved to the moon to act as space station on the moon using the moon as its earth.In the year 2080 a scientist discovered that the black holes were not producing more energy but rather the energy was not sipping in to the earth fast enough.In the same year it was concluded through the world conference that all new black hole projects should cease.This was put into effect immediately as it was concluded that the world itself would be endangered.However ,the existing side effects started to appear.the world itself was moving on to create its own kind of balance.Soon people started to drop one after the other at a steadily increasing rate.In the year 2088 the original black hole went wild.luckily or unluckily the energy was absorbed in to the earth faster than the black hole could absorb the earth.Before the black hole could fully disperse, it had wiped a major part of the east Africa .This set the world in a state of panic as they soon realized that human beings could never go against the providence of nature.As a side effect the rate at which people died increased and to make it worse the black holes were getting rampant.The areas which people had flocked to like moths to a flame soon became potential infernos.Other than that,the state of East Africa was left in shambles.this created panic and soon major powers started to try using space travel to try and move the black holes from the major cities to other planets but were met with failure.
By the year 2090 ,millions had died and 4 black holes had gone wild.Countries had been destroyed completely and the world government moved in haste to dispose the threat.
At this point much of the Asian continent was far from existent as two of the energy generators had gone wild within it.The south and northern America coasts were pretty much gone since the generator that went haywire there caused cataclysmic earthquakes and tsunamis.The southern part of Africa was gone entirely and a huge part of central Africa was mostly unpopulated after the ripple effect of the blast caused massive rifts that split the African continent a few more times.The arctic circle was no longer with land and worst of all the water level in the world was rising considerably.Due to the amount of unstable energy fluctuations in the world ,the disturbances caused destroyed electrical systems in the world,the satellites came crashing down and the nuclear stations went up in flames.In less than a century ,other than the knowledge possessed ,the world was thrown back to the stone age.The gravity of the world became higher while in some areas of the world it became utterly unstable.Trying to send the remaining black hole power generators outside the planet became hopeless:but not as much as realizing that just as the generators couldn't leave neither could humans abandon the hope that became their demise and leave the planet.Chaos became the new tune as the world decided to move the remaining seven generators away from habitable land.The only problem was that the already unstable generators could not be stashed too close to each other lest bigger disasters occur.In a bid to ensure the survival of the few million remaining humans,most of the generators were taken out to sea and the coasts of most countries,Asia ,Europe and all islands were abandoned leaving only 4 continents inhabited by humans.Problem was even the evacuation was just another source of death;after all the haywire energies within the planet constantly destroyed all electrical systems no matter how much they were fixed.Eventually over half the remaining population which was in hundreds of millions decreased further not even accounting for those constantly dying of radiation and those abandoned by their governments.
Everyone thought that was the end of it and there would at least be some shred of safety.That was when things truly blew out of proportions.
In the year 2093 the generators that had been moved finally blew.Unlike the last time where large chunks of landmasses disappeared and large pockets of energy replaced them to cause catastrophic events,this time the entire world became chaotic.Of the seven three opened into gigantic holes.one gigantic hole about 50 miles in radius opened in the Indian ocean barely two miles above the surface of the earth with a part of it above the coast of East Africa.Part of the world disappeared with it but something new fell:chunks of land mass ,unstable pieces of matter , large amount of water and new organisms and lifeforms.The other one opened covering most Asia .the already dire state of the place was now confirmed to contain no human life after that.The only consolation was that most humans had already left the place.The third one on the other hand created a danger to all that existed around the pacific,after all it opened beneath the sea and unlike what many wanted to believe ,this posed the greatest threat after all the region around it was endlessly riddled in destructive underwater earthquakes,miles tall tsunamis assaulted the coast of surrounding continents and just like all other holes' ability to converge all energy towards themselves this one caused bigger energy clashed that radiated strong destructive energy and radiation.The only good thing was that the creatures that fell from the hole stayed close to it and from the little information that was passed ,it was determined that they preferred places with high concentration of energy.As for the other four ,the world was not so lucky.The energy from the four generators clashed to create a ripple effect that opened an endless spatial tears across the entire world.unlike the previous holes these did not converge as much energy to themselves and none were bigger than two miles with the smaller ones being a meter long.The only problem is the lifeforms that followed:unlike the original three [Black sea, Armageddon and Abyss {respectively}] the life forms that came out didn't stay near the holes.The simple organization of the new human central regions turned to shit after that.With most of the military power in the turned to cinders,the fight for survival against the invaders began.Smaller groups and organizations mushroomed everywhere trying to find ways to cope.only consolation was that just as humans were considered weak so were some of the life forms that came.The ability to adapt came in handy when most needed but the greatest worry remained after all just as other life seemingly converged in this world and the lifeforms converged towards stronger holes due to the energy concentration the state didn't seem to be able to last forever.
In 2095 most adaptable lifeforms coming from smaller holes started to disperse as the concentration of energy around the world increased. Human settlements had been established but governments were no more.As the energy concentration increased and the need for survival in the changing world grew much needed ,military organizations became the new trend .And thus began the spatial era.
