Winter won.
I always got the feeling that summer begged for winter. Summer burned itself out. Winter is the natural state that occurs when summer gets exhausted and needs to recharge. When it uses up its fuel. Winter is more easily maintained.
Of course I know that it’s all to do with the rotation of the earth and the distance from the sun and all that but they’re in my head as entities.
Now the earth is white. All the animals have evolved to be white. The people look Nordic the world over. Blonde made a comeback in a big way. We are the Aryan dream. This is another ice age.
We are tribal. The population of the entire earth has receded back to the millions. Cities are harder to maintain than villages. There are still a few big cities but it’s a constant battle for them to stay powered and organized.
The darker skinned cultures are getting paler with every generation.
The already pale ones are becoming almost translucent.
Don’t get the impression that these survivors of humanity are primitive. There is technology but it’s mostly to do with the manipulation of ice and water now. They’ve found a way to harness the energy of the cold. They’ve found out that once something gets cold enough, it starts to heat up again. The nature of entropy is cyclical. This has become the basis of their new technology. Oil isn’t needed. Solar power isn’t needed. This is good because they lost the major oil centers in the WWWar and the sun shows his face every eighteen months or so through the clouds.
There is no reason to not build entire buildings out of ice since no summer will ever come to melt them.
They’ve even lost the pigments from their eyes.
Black hair is the rarity now, the ‘attractive’ hair colour.
They are a world of albinos that love the snow.
This is the white earth.
This is one of the nightmare futures.
