Warlock Ridge

[HARDCORE]

7-13-2020

(purely fiction)

“Hiding in Plain Sight” has been the nemesis of mankind ever since “The New Troglodytes” first rose to their feet to lay claim to all that they beheld, there within the restricted zones of “WARLOCK RIDGE” (aka – The Planet Earth 2080 A.D.!)

“The Troglodyte” knew not why however, as even back in our earlier days, it was just a case of basic greed and avarice that motivated early neo-man’s every move, for he was truly a slave (even then), to his basic instincts and his increasingly sordid and vested emotions!

In fact, and judging from our own historical records during the last few millennia, not a whole lot has really changed - other than the fact that our species still even exists that is?

And were it not for “Our Bigger Nuclear Stick Philosophy”, it would indeed be amazing if we still would even be around in the year 2080 A.D.? Lord knows, we have done our damnedest to obliterate ourselves from the face of “This Planet” during the entire course of our tenure upon it! But alas - “Some Divine Power Out There” must really like us, even if we have been hanging on by the skin of our teeth at times?

But for the record, just how much do you really know about most of our past mortal travails, or even our near misses with oblivion over the last several eons - for that matter? And have we really been that lucky, or even that blessed by fate, to have survived “The continuing ravishes of Nature Gone Wild, The Insanity of Our Own Minds, and even The Angry Right Fist of God Himself?” So if our ongoing survival can indeed be chalked-up to chance alone, who then is to say, just how long that fortune will continue to smile upon us?

And for the record, humanity, although pushing its luck big time on occasions, is not totally stupid either! There are those among us who know full well that fate (and even luck itself), has been sorely tested and even severely strained at times - and this by humans, esoteric and even natural elements alike – mighty forces one and all, that are totally outside of our own immediate control or even our comprehension at times!

But when world leadership begins to believe in all of its own somewhat distorted publicity, who (or even what then) will pull the plug and redirect us all back into the realm of mortal sanity? And with it, maybe even secure the continued existence of our own human race?

“Or does that too, no longer even concern many of you out there?”

“And when even mortal sanity is severely strained (as it is right now), a great – many world societies suffer the consequences as well! But when that sanity is lost all together, then even entire nations can, and most assuredly will, cease to exist as well, within those periods of time that may never again witness the dawning of a bright and warm new age upon those burned-out cinders that was once the home of nearly - “Eight Billion, Painfully-Departed, Human Beings!!”

HC - God help us with your summation. We are in a quandary right now I will agree to that.
I surmise things will level out in a few years. It won't be pretty meanwhile. Plenty of world wide issues have to be resolved before any peaceful progress will be made.
-
By 2080 - our Grandkids will have had to set things right. Meanwhile we have to hope we haven't a nuclear exchange before that? There's plenty of nutcase leaders in the world who are just dying to push the buttons of their new toys.
-
The future always looks grim after War's end. Only then do people start to put the pieces back together and learn to live together in peace (for some period of time).
-
Right now there are no team player's anymore - it's this way or that way - very little compromise and very little thought of the overall ramifications.
-
As we've all heard said many time's - Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely! Until this type of verbiage is no longer considered - can gains be made.
