Phantasmagorias on the Horizon Entry 1: Enter, Spiteful Commentary

    They tell stories of the world long ago, as it supposedly was. They tell stories of Earth's green fields of grass, dense forests, awe-inspiring mountains... I hardly know what those words mean. All I know is cold steel, pathetic greenhouse shrubs, and mostly, unfortunately, those sickening seas. I live here, in the Above Sea Impervious Human Ecosystem, which goes by Asihe. Here we have everything a human would ever need, as long as they take the saying "ignorance is bliss" to heart. There is a school which is comprised of metal cubicles, a residential district comprised of metal cubicles, a recreation center comprised of large metal cubicles, and a greenhouse in the center of it all which is a really large metal cubicle with astro-turf flooring and a glass dome ceiling. I hear that the whole facility is shaped like a giant 8-bit dome covered in glass but I wouldn't know, I've never seen it from the outside. If there's anything else that this place has, I don't know about it and I'm probably not supposed to. The small solace I take in living here is that there are at least people around.  I mean, sure, some are ignorant, but they talk and process a little bit of what's thrown at them, so that counts for something. And there are the people that are a bit more like me who actually comprehend what I say when I say it and don't shrug it off with a "well you'll die before you find out" or "you shouldn't worry about that, there are better things to do". But still there's one of the worst things about this place... That damned ocean being everywhere. The name of this facility is well-derived because if you look out of one of the few windows to the outside guess what you see. If you guessed water then you are CORRECT. Water is everywhere and being one of the people here in this place, I'll never find out if there's anything more to the world besides that which bugs the hell out of me. So yeah, that sums up everything I think of this place. Hope you like everything I've said in this first entry in my Audio-Log project Ms.Nichols, it responds to the prompt perfectly.  I have my reasons for saying what I did, so don't give me another 0 just for not saying anything nice about this metal cage. Sincerely, Iden.
