It wasn't global warming, nuclear war, or a even virus pandemic that changed the world. Many years ago the Earth shifted its orbit in the solar system, or maybe Mars shifted its orbit nobody knows for sure. Our planet is still called Earth and we are happy. Sometimes it is cold and other times it is hot. Most of us live in industrial-design enclosures with round windows. There are also large apartment buildings built in the shapes of chickens. They are the only buildings intact that remain from our ancestor's time before the orbital shift.
Under the bright warm glow of the lemon sunset we sheltered in the purple bobble constructed with sturdy metal and thick glass protected by quinacridone magenta and lapis luzuli pigments to block the UV and to give us a unique style that would impress the neighbors. On the crumbling road we saw mannequins. They may have been left outside by accident.
