Landscape Essay
Chicago in the future is underwater. When the polar ice caps melted, many cities by the water were flooded. The inhabitants, forced to move, went to boring places, like Idaho or Nebraska. Anyway, so a few people decided to move back to Chicago to fish, and they created the first floating streets. In these times, wood is scarce, so houses are built out of brightly colored plastics-usually melted down birthday plates.
Since most of the world is now covered in water, marine animals have become massive and vicious. Most of all the jellyfish that patrol the oceans and lakes like big, pink police. The shock they give is one million volts, enough to shock a person to death, and then shock them to life again. So most of these jellyfish are harmless.
There are remnants of the old city mixed in with the new. Chicago’s famous Golden Towers are still standing. Homeless drifters that travel around the country on makeshift rafts inhabit some of lofts above water. These towers are two thousand stories tall and made of faux gold. Before it used to be made of solid gold, but people tried to steal it and it was redone in faux gold.
