This is the best. Its like Tolkien, but worse:
"I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon. City and sky become one, merging into a single plane, a vast sea of unbroken grey. The Twin Moons, just two pale orbs as they trace their way across the steely sky. I used to think I had a pretty good life here, just plugging into my machine for the day, then watching Templevision or reading a Temple Paper in the evening.
"My friend Jon always said it was nicer here than under the atmospheric domes of the Outer Planets. We have had peace since 2062, when the surviving planets were banded together under the Red Star of the Solar Federation. The less fortunate gave us a few new moons. I believed what I was told. I thought it was a good life, I thought I was happy. Then I found something that changed it all..."
What on earth possesses people to get into middle earth fantasies? I get space stations, aliens, deep sea stuff, but this middle earth stuff with all the midgets, dwarves, dog-horses, volcanoes, magical castles and elves, faeries and nymphs is just all fucked up. If a fucking wizard is all powerful and these midgets live forever, how come nobody has a fucking gun? Ther's no plasma TV in middle earth, yet they have a 900 ft burning eye bigger than the Diamond Vision in any ballpark? The trees walk around, but best weapon they have is a fucking catapult? What the fuck is the matter with Tolkien? Afghanistan sounds cooler than middle earth.
