Earth: the desert planet. Hot. Dry. covered from pole to pole with desert. But billions of years ago there were rivers, lakes, oceans… the perfect conditions for life. But what happened. We are about to find out. John Young's is a famous water miner and it is his son's first day on the job. “Dad i dont what to go water mining." whines Hunter. “Hunter, when you turn 14 you have to." says John. “But fortnite season 68 is coming out." said hunter. “That's too bad." says John. “fine." whines Hunter. They walk to the front door. The door with the brass handle and the fine wood. He opens the door blinded by the lite. He opens his eyes to see the dome, his home, everyone's home. The clicking of the quartz tiles against the bottom of his sneakers. The exit door in front of them. We step in. space suits line the walls. We walk down the row of suits and stop at number 86B. I grab it off the shelf, slip it on as it wrs to a start. The lights turn on. The first door slides open, we step in. It closes and the next door opens. Desert only desert for miles and miles of desert. “Do you see that crader?." says John. “Yep I do." says Hunter. Go there, grab one of the drills and go mining, tell you find water then bring it back." says John. “Are you sure it's safe dad?” says Hunter. “100% safe!” says John. “Okay” says hunter.
