By around 10pm most people had arrived and I was I feeling slightly unsettled. I didn’t really know anyone here. I mean I had talked with my old friends but they all seemed like they had somewhere better to be. It was as if they had never known me before. So there I am just sat on the crinkly, leather couch drinking alone. While sat there I had come to the conclusion that, I didn’t like beer, it tasted funny. I was sat there for a good 25 minutes before I started to notice that in fact, everyone was acting unnatural. I liked to people watch, it had became a habit of mine since I started my new college. Something was certainly not right; I had to get out of here.

I took a quick look around before I stood up and took a brisk walk to the door only to get intercepted by Tom.
“Leaving already? Its only 10:30” Tom asked.
“Yeah kinda feeling a bit ill, one too many beers I think” I gulped.
“I have just the thing, follow me”

Feeling slightly apprehensive I followed. He led me through a maze of people, to the outdoor sofas. The soft bass of the music filtered into my ears from the inside. Surprisingly it wasn’t cold out, considering it was the middle of November. Winter has always been my favourite season; I guess you couldn’t really class November as winter. It was a clear night, you could tell this because the stars were like headlights in the sky. The full moon illuminated the garden.

Tom had a big garden; it was the kind of garden you would see in the magazines. There were a few flowers in the flowerbeds but most had died due to the colder weather. His parents were keen gardeners, the bushes were all perfectly trimmed and there wasn’t a single leaf on lush grass. The sofas were located towards the back of the garden. It was surrounded by identical bushes. There was a thin, paved trail leading up to it. They were sheltered which was nice, it kept the fabric cushions dry from any rain. We took a seat next to the smokers; they all had longish hair and looked like the stereotypical stoner’s you would see in the movies. I had never met any of them before but they all seemed friendly enough. Tom proceeded to pull out a doobie. He lit it and puffed away on it. I was starting to wonder why he brought me out here. Why would I want to come out here and watch him smoke? He then sticks out his hand and beckons me to take the joint. I was slightly anxious about taking it; I had only ever smoked while I had been sober. However I liked it so I thought it might make me feel better. I ignored my gut instinct not to take it and took a few big hits and passed it back to Tom. He smiled.

“Not so bad, eh” Tom chimed.
“Hmm I suppose, I don’t feel any different” I coughed.
Inside my head was spinning. My vision was blurry. It was like my head had been shoved in a tornado. However I felt less nervous now than I did before, more at ease. That was until I detected everyone staring at me. They all looked at me with that same generic expression, sort of innocent but creepy at the same time. It was almost like they were possessed by something. I started to feel more and more uncomfortable so I decided get away from here.

I chucked my coat on and stumbled to the door. Fortunately for me it was open. I had my mind set on going home so I ventured on my journey across town; I debated calling a taxi but decided against the idea as I had no money. It is about half a mile to my house, and unfortunately it’s a dark and desolate walk. I got about halfway down the street when I heard someone calling my name. I swiftly turn around to see Tom stood there shaking slightly.

I saw something was wrong by expression on his face. He was scared. I figured it would just be the drugs so I started walking back towards him, to investigate the situation. He mouthed to me 'stop'. This sent a wave of panic through my body. Tears were now streaming down his face. I was now really scared, I had never seen him cry before.
“Tom?” I shouted “what’s wrong?”
I carried on walking towards him. He didn't answer. It was almost like he had been glued to the ground. He just stood there. This was weird even for Tom. He has never been the bravest of people but then again he didn’t usually display this kind of behaviour. Then out of nowhere a human looking creature leapt onto Tom and started to tear him apart limb from limb. I shivered as I saw guts being thrown out on to the street. Blood was spraying out everywhere. I couldn’t move. I was frozen with fright. I watched as this red-eyed creature, denatured my friend. I let out a whimper. With that the creature turned to me and looked me dead in the eye, and started shredding Tom’s legs with its teeth. It then chucked the dismembered body on to the road and walked back inside. I shuddered. What was this thing? I had no idea but I certainly couldn’t get it out of my head.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

How did the narrator feel when he smoked the joint?

answer: The narrator initially said he did not feel any different when he smoked the joint. But in reality, the narrator's head was spinning and his vision was blurry. He did feel less nervous than before and was definitely much more at ease. But then, the narrator felt self-conscious because he believed everyone was looking at him, which made him more uncomfortable.

answer: The narrator felt uneasy when he smoked the joint, but he eventually felt calmer. The creature attack made the narrator extremely scared.

text: "The creature attack made the narrator extremely scared." - extraneous information that is irrelevant to the question.

refinement: The narrator felt uneasy when he smoked the joint, but he eventually felt calmer.

text: Must add details of how the narrator felt (blurred vision, spinning head, etc.) because the response is too general. Must also add that he felt paranoid, self-conscious, and uncomfortable that everyone was looking at him.

refinement: The narrator felt uneasy when he smoked the joint. His head was spinning so much that it felt like it was shoved into a tornado and his vision was blurry. However, he eventually felt calmer and more at ease. The narrator then started to feel paranoid, self-conscious, and uncomfortable.

answer: The narrator enjoyed smoking the joint, but he didn't feel any different when it came to anxiety or mood. However, his vision became blurred, and he assumed it was from the joint.

answer: The narrator felt confused, anxious, and scared when he smoked the joint. The confusion stemmed from the strange behavior exhibited by the rest of the party goers, while the anxiety developed due to the surreal nature of the situation. The fear arose when the narrator witnessed a creature kill his friend and started to become terrified by the situation.

answer: The narrator's vision was blurry, he felt like his head had been shoved in a tornado. He felt less nervous after he smoked and got out of the garden.

***Down towards the bottom, into the deep.***

Down towards the bottom, there laid a man. Impaled by the thought of seeing the man he has become.

Down towards the bottom, a blind man waits for a friend. His friend was killed in '83.

Down towards the bottom, a boy of 16 waits for the train. This train was not for riding.

Down towards the bottom, a wife of a soldier waits by the phone. Her husband died in a car-bombing, yet she is to know.

Down towards the bottom, a middle-aged man scowls. The thought of being with these people disgust him; vice-versa for the others.

Down towards the bottom, a 4 y.o. girl cries. Her favorite plush animal stolen from her hands.

Down towards the bottom, I watch as these people clamber for the chance at a misshapen ray of sunlight, bending its way down from the heavens. Nothing is to stop these people from their way, whether it be something simple (A plush animal) or something harsh (A husband gone away).

Down towards the bottom, I see the mercy of the light come down, illuminating the darkness of the bottom. The people come out of their caves, reminded of their old days.

Down towards the bottom, I see the boy being pulled up by a horde of teenagers. The change in face of the boy is drastic. A face of shame goes to surprise, as strangers to himself raise him from the depths of the bottom.

Down towards the bottom, a wife is reminded of something else. A child screams for help, at the mercy of a skinned knee. She is propelled from the bottom, saving the child from infection, as her husband served her nation.

Down towards the bottom, the blind man stands up and climbs the cliffside. The sudden ping of realization giving sight to his life. His friend long passed watches him as he climbs the rocky scale.

Down towards the bottom, a girl is befriended by a man. The girl, as the fun of material possessions leaves her body, grabs the man's suit. The man, as his coattails are pulled, stands up and puts the girl on his shoulder. They hitch a ride on a stray beam of light and it carries them upwards.

Down towards the bottom, a man is uplifted. His wife shows her head from behind a rock, inviting him to dinner. Your son has missed you, she says. I know, says the man.

Down towards the bottom, light makes its way down. projecting more lost souls. These people have different problems, independent from the rest. Soon these people will find their way towards the light, but for now they rest down towards the bottom, into the deep.

Hi,

I'm MoodyAtom. This is my first time posting in this sub.

I want to tell you a little bit about this story. It is a more story-driven approach to a lecture I was given by my psychologist. I have had depression for most of my life, suicide having been a very real thing. The point of the story is to tell, though cliche, it does get better. The theme is based on the Pearl Jam song "Deep" from their album "Ten".

Also, any critique is welcome. I, according to english teachers and psychologists I've had, have always said I'm a good writer, but I would like input from actual writers.

Thank you!

*MoodyAtom*.

title: Down towards the bottom, into the deep. - Please critique.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does "Down towards the bottom, into the deep" mean?

answer: It represents people's problems and their struggle to make their way away from the problems. They all find their way towards the light somehow, but now they rest on the bottom, into the deep.

answer: The narrator is not being literal; this is just the address of the place that people need somewhere to go to for their purpose. The bottom represents a place of being alone or isolated, and as people descend, they tend to descend further into the bottom.

answer: This phrase refers to a figurative descent into darkness or the depths. The people clambering down towards the bottom⸺ despite their problems and darkness⸺ are motivated by the chance at a light at the bottom. The light brings them out of their caves and reminds them that there is hope. The story is about overcoming darkness and finding good, even in the worst of places.

answer: This phrase is an implication that the depth is deep, and going down into it reveals a world fraught with complex emotions, hardships, and triumphs. Ultimately, light shines in these circumstances and allows people to find their way out of despair and darkness.

answer: "Down towards the bottom, into the deep" describes this passage as an allegory for a story of psychological distress.

Yet, at the bottom, that hope, or light, finds them and they have a chance to adapt to the light and start anew.

answer: Yes, that they're all experiencing despair of some degree.

ZACKARY BOWMAN (born November 18, 1984) is a retired American football cornerback. He was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He played college football at Nebraska and New Mexico Military Institute. He has also played for the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins.

Early years

Bowman attended Batesburg-Leesville High in Batesburg, South Carolina, and later attended Bartlett High School in Anchorage, Alaska, and graduated in 2003.

College career

After Bowman attended New Mexico Military Institute, he attended University of Nebraska–Lincoln. In his two seasons at Nebraska Bowman had a total of 56 tackles, 20 pass break ups, 3 interceptions, and he played in 22 games, 9 of which he started.

Bowman had to redshirt the 2006 season due to torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on the third day of fall practice and missed the season.

Professional career

Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears selected in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He made the team's opening day roster but was relegated to the practice squad to make room for guard Dan Buenning, who was acquired in a trade.[1] The Bears signed Bowman off the practice squad in week seven, after their top three cornerbacks were ruled out of a game against the Minnesota Vikings due to injuries. Bowman played a crucial role in the Bears victory over the Vikings by recovering a fumbled punt in the endzone for a touchdown. Bowman sustained an injury in the fourth quarter, which should have left him sidelined for the remainder of the game, but he insisted on returning due to the Bears shallow depth at the cornerback position. He recorded his first career interception upon returning, which also prevented the Vikings from engineering a last second touchdown drive. Bowman required surgery to repair the injury he sustained during the game,[2] and was placed on the team's injury reserve for the remainder of the season. His efforts during the week merited him the “NFC Special Teams Player of the Week” Award.[3]

In training camp 2009, coaches were very impressed with Bowman's abilities and play on the practice field. Despite missing most of the preseason with a hamstring injury, Bowman was expected to be a key part of the Bears secondary in 2009 with teammates Nathan Vasher and Charles Tillman.[4]

In Week 2 of the regular season, Bowman took over Vasher's starting spot at cornerback. He recorded 66 tackles, six interceptions, and one forced fumble over the course of the season.[5]

During the Bears 2010 mini camp, head coach Lovie Smith announced that Bowman would replace Charles Tillman as the team's left side cornerback. In a typical Cover 2 defense, team's will usually place their best cornerback on the left side of their defensive formations.[6]

Minnesota Vikings

Bowman signed a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings on March 26, 2012.[7] On September 2, 2012, he was waived to make room for A. J. Jefferson.[8]

Second stint with Chicago

Bowman was later re-signed by the Bears.[9] In Week 16 against the Arizona Cardinals, Bowman recovered Beanie Wells' fumble in the endzone for a Bears touchdown, as the Bears won 28-13.[10] In 2013, Bowman was an unrestricted free agent, but signed a one-year deal with the Bears.[11] During the season, Bowman played in all 16 games while starting in seven, and recorded 49 tackles along with three interceptions.[12]

New York Giants

On March 31, 2014, Bowman signed a one-year deal with the New York Giants.[13]

Miami Dolphins

On April 13, 2015, Bowman signed a deal with the Miami Dolphins.[14] He was released on September 6, however, re-signed later that day.[15] He was waived on November 24.[16]

Personal life

Bowman was a sociology major and earned his degree in December 2007. He is married and has three sons.[17][18]

answer: Bowman was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the 2008 NFL Draft and has gone on to become a key member of their secondary. Bowman displayed crucial abilities in his first season, recording 66 tackles, 6 interceptions, and 1 forced fumble. He was re-signed by the Bears following the 2012 season and signed a deal with the New York Giants in 2014.

answer: Bowman was drafted to the Chicago Bears and made the team's roster but was relegated to the practice squad to make room for a different player. He played a crucial role in the Bears' victory over the Vikings by recovering a fumble for touchdown. He was injured in the fourth quarter of the same game and was put on the the Bears' injury reserve for the remainder of the game. He spent the following training camps improving his abilities and was expected to be a key part of the Bears' team. Bowman was an NPCA Special Teams Player of the Week and in Week two, he took Vasher's starting cornerback spot and recording 66 tackles, six interceptions and one fumble by the end of the season.

Deputies sought a person of interest after two fires started early Wednesday along the northbound 57 freeway in Brea and spread across the county line into Diamond Bar.

It took more than six hours to get them fully contained.

The blazes shut down lanes of the 57 freeway as firefighters worked to extinguish the burning brush, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The first fire was reported at 2:18 a.m. on the highway near Lambert Road on-ramp. All lanes and the on-ramp were closed, CHP officials said. Northbound lanes also were closed on the Los Angeles County side at Brea Canyon Road.

The two fires burned about 15 acres total, one burned 10 and the other about 5, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. It burned north of Tonner Canyon Road and as far north as Brea Canyon Road, according to the Brea Police Department.

There were no immediate reports of injuries. L.A. County fire officials said no structures were threatened.

Shortly before 5 a.m., authorities said all forward progress of the fire had been stopped. More than 100 firefighters worked the blazes.

At about 7:45 a.m., CHP officers opened up the carpool and one other lane.

Just before 8:45 a.m. fire officials said the fire had been 100 contained. Full containment means a control line has been completed all of the way around the blaze, with firefighters confident the fire won’t jump the line as they work to put out all flames and heat sources.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, however Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies were looking into a report of a suspicious person seen near the fires’ origin points, authorities said.

“A witness reported seeing a man with a white scarf around his face wearing blue jeans and driving a black sedan,” sheriff’s officials said in a written statement. No further details were available regarding the man or his possible connection to the fires. “Detectives are requesting the public’s help.”

Investigators stopped short of labeling the person as a suspect, but wanted to track him down so see what information he may be able to provide.

“It was a witness statement. “We’re trying to corroborate it,” Detective Ron Greene of the sheriff’s Arson-Explosives Details, which was summoned to take charge of the investigation.

Detectives from the sheriff’s Arson-Explosives Details were summoned to the scene to handle the investigation.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Greene of the sheriff’s Arson-Explosives Detail at 323-881-7500. Tips may also be submitted anonymously to L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.

The PROFESSIONAL DOCTORATE IN ENGINEERING (PDENG) is a Dutch degree awarded to graduates of a Technological Designer (engineering) program that develop their students' capabilities to work within a professional context. These programs focus on applied techniques and design, in their respective engineering fields. The technological PDEng designer programs were initiated at the request of the Dutch high-tech industry. High-tech companies need professionals who can design and develop complex new products and processes and offer innovative solutions. All programs work closely together with high-tech industry, offering trainees the opportunity to participate in large-scale, interdisciplinary design projects. With this cooperation, PDEng programs provide trainees a valuable network of contacts in industry. Each program covers a different technological field, for example managing complex architectural construction projects, designing mechanisms for user interfaces for consumer products or developing high-tech software systems for software-intensive systems. Participation in a program that awards the abbreviation PDEng requires at least a Master's degree in a related field.[1]

PDEng degrees can be obtained at three technical Universities in the Netherlands, Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology, and University of Twente. Between these universities interscholastic cooperation programs exist like the 4TU Federation and its Stan Ackermans Institute.[2]

Accreditation

The three or two-year, full-time post-master programs all lead to a Professional Doctorate in Engineering (PDEng) degree. At the end a PDEng candidate also confers a Doctorate degree. The programs are certified by the Dutch Certification Committee for Technological Design Programs (CCTO or Dutch: _Nederlandse Certificatiecommissie voor Opleidingen tot Technologisch Ontwerper_), which represents the interests of the organization of Netherlands Industry Entrepreneurs and Employers (VNO-NCW/MKB Netherlands) and the Royal Netherlands Society of Engineers (Dutch: _Koninklijk Instituut Van Ingenieurs - KIVI_).[3] The CCTO's main goal is to ensure that such degrees hold to the high standards established by both academia and industry. The committee reviews these degree programs every five years to ensure continued standards compliance.[4]

Although the PDEng and PhD are both recognised as postgraduate degrees, they are not the same. A PDEng is practically oriented and does not require a body of original academic research to graduate. [5]

History

The Professional Doctorate in Engineering (PDEng) name owes its existence to the adoption of the Bachelor/Master (Ba/Ma) degree system after the Bologna Process. While most Dutch universities adopted the Ba/Ma system in 2001, the PDEng was known as the official Master of Technical Design (MTD) degree until 2004. From that date the Executive Boards of TU/e, TUD and UT decided jointly to use PDEng.

Admission

Application is open to university graduates from the Netherlands and other countries. A trainee must hold at least a Master of Science degree or equivalent, preferably in the exact sciences. Besides, applicant must have an interest in designing solutions for complex technological problems. There can be an assessment and selection procedure before entering a program. The PDEng programs use strict selection criteria to ensure the required high quality. Excellent marks, motivation and a design-oriented attitude are vitally important. A trainee should also have an excellent command of the English language. The exact admission and selection procedures are different at the three locations. All applications are judged by the Selection Committee.[6]

title: Professional Doctorate in Engineering

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize what the article says about the larger field of engineering.

answer: There may be some overlap in what is covered in a degree in order to confer the PDEng, and what is covered in other Masters degrees in order to confer the PDEng.

text: This answer is completely off.

text: Empty response.

refinement: A few generalizations can be gleaned about the larger field of engineering. High tech companies are interested in those involved in the larger field of engineering who can come up with innovative solutions. A network of contacts is highly valued. The text hints that designing solutions to problems is a core aspect of the larger engineering field.

answer: The Professional Doctorate in Engineering (PDEng) is a post-master program within the larger field of engineering. The programs focus on applied techniques and design, in their respective engineering fields. The requirements for admission include having a master's degree and being interested in solving complex technological problems.

text: This answer is incorrect. It only discusses the program, not the larger field of engineering.

text: Empty response

refinement: A few generalizations can be gleamed about the larger field of engineering. High tech companies are interested in those involved in the larger field of engineering who can come up with innovative solutions. A network of contacts is highly valued.  The text hints that designing solutions to problems is a core aspect of the larger engineering field.

answer: The article focuses on the differences between an engineering degree, a master's degree and doctorate degree.  In short, the article notes that a professional doctorate in engineering is awarded to graduates of a technology university. The degree is accredited by the Dutch Certification Committee for Technical Design programs. The CCTO ensures that the students have a high quality for their degree programs.

answer: High-tech companies need professionals who work within a professional context to design and develop complex new products and processes and offer innovative solutions. All PDEng degree programs work closely with high-tech industry and are tailored to meet the demands of both academia and industry. In order to graduate with a PDEng degree, trainees must have a Master's degree in a related field. Additionally, applicants must have an interest in designing solutions for complex technological problems and an excellent command of English. Finally, PDEng degrees are offered at three Dutch universities, each focused on different technological fields.

answer: Though the article specifically speaks to the Dutch doctorate of engineering, several generalizations apply to engineering studies across the board globally. Engineers are most in-demand with high tech companies so the industry skill set should include computers, with a heavy focus on learning how to think up innovative solutions to emerging issues. A network of contacts is highly valued. Programs in the Dutch system cover different fields, and one would imagine that it is useful to have a baseline idea of how to approach problem-solving at its root in each field, but to specialize in one over the others as one pursues their higher-level degree.

text: It would be better to say that the text hints that designing solutions to problems is a core aspect of the larger engineering field.

text:
A nation's Intelligence Agency released a 140 page report detailing the lack of food and water for the planet's growing population, the inevitability of climate change to keep elevating dangerous weather conditions, and the destined collapse of the current monetary system.  The whole nation was already full of unhappy people, a generation that had been fed the lie that if they worked hard they would eventually be prosperous and happy, were unemployed or held dead-end jobs where they were constrained, bored, underpaid and unappreciated.  They were furious at being mislead.  A generation of baby-boomers before them had stolen all of the prosperity from the nation and left a dying planet behind as their inheritance.

The nation’s news-media grew increasingly cynical, morbid and depressing every day.  Networks were purely out to make money and the dying nation, which felt helpless to help itself, ate up these stories and wallowed in its unhappiness.  As a result those with mental disorders such as antisocial personality disorder, psychopathy and narcissistic personality disorder, began to believe that they were in fact part of the majority, as people had forgotten long ago that TV was not a true representation of reality.  Such individuals became so convinced of their normalcy that they never sought out the mental counseling they so desperately needed, and as their self-assurance grew so did their boldness.

A few started openly killing innocents, and once made famous by the greed of the media, more joined in.  Soon even innocent children were not safe from the crossfire.  With every disaster that befell the nation its people, scared and delusional, gave up one civil liberty after another until the freedom the nation once held proudly over the heads of the rest of the world was nothing more than a distant memory.  Its citizens grew divided between the five stages of grief; denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance as though each stage were in fact an ideology to live by.

Only a small percentage of the population had made it to the final stage and the deniers were so desperate to believe that everything would be OK that they turned their back completely on science and reason, the two things that human beings prided themselves on the most.  The desperate actively ignored the evidence that came to light more and more every day, and lashed out at those who sought to end their ignorance.  These people controlled vital aspects of the government, and so the nation was locked in a terrible stand still, completely unable to deal with the current problems and imminent dangers of the future.

Only one solution seemed to remain; revolution.  A total revision of government and civilization.  But revolution was never to happen, too much of the nation had become convinced that they were completely helpless to influence the world, and reverted to total depression, complete apathy or a mix of the two.  Each time an uprising started it was never able to gain enough momentum to stop the government from quelling it, through military and police action, and more powerfully through clever manipulation of the press and propaganda.  People came to fear conflict more than anything, especially amongst themselves and so they created societal restrictions on which words they could say and which situations they could show in movies and on TV. In this stifling environment people became unable to think for themselves, and creativity and originality were snuffed out.  Suicides, murders and sickness grew.

Some began openly hoping for the end of their world.  Nature began lashing out in its death throes as the misery of money continued to strangle it.  Floods, droughts, blizzards, and terrible storms wreaked havoc across the planet.  Wars over resources broke out around the globe, and finally the government took total control of the nation through military and police supervision.  Each and every citizen was now a ward of the state, but even with strict laws in place limiting the production of more children the population had already grown too large to sustain.  Soon governments around the world began to consider something once thought to be unthinkable-nuclear war.

All it took was one missile, and all pandemonium broke out. No one can remember who made the first move, but it hardly mattered once a nuclear winter, an event which scientists had been warning about for decades, consumed the planet.  The access to food and water, already scarce, became virtually non-existent and the starving population bottlenecked.  The humans, plants and animals that managed to survive were plagued with genetic mutations and disease.  Extinctions on a massive scale ravaged the land and sea.  Eventually only a small niche of organic life remained, breeding and evolving over many thousands of years to create a new era.  Although some mutated form of the human genome survived, the human race is never again at the top of the food chain.

All information that humans had gathered and analyzed over the centuries was lost forever, for you see, the human race had been so distracted by war and money that they had never mastered space travel.  When the sun eventually went supernova, any existence of life on the planet Earth and possibly in the entire known universe was completely eliminated.  Doomed to revert to the stardust which had originally allowed for its creation.

The end.

This is my first time writing anything other than a research paper really, so I'm curious as to how other people view the style, and what you all generally think.  (It's ok if you don't like it!)

title: "I'm afraid that this story takes place in the not-so-distant future."

text: The answer is made up of a repetitive chain of inferences. Though accurate in spots, it is hard to read and does not succinctly answer the question asked of it.

refinement: Resources are scarce due to climate change and rapid population growth. Civil unrest has become the order of the day and people are suffering from mental health problems. The people feel helpless to change the world.

answer: The story's bleakness is largely due to the fact that the world is facing a number of crises that seem insurmountable. The population is growing too quickly for the planet to sustain, the climate is changing in dangerous ways, and the monetary system is collapsing. The people of the world are already unhappy and feeling hopeless, and when things start to go even further downhill, they give up their freedoms and become even more depressed. The only solution seems to be revolution, but it never happens, and the world eventually falls into nuclear war.

question: Why would people start killing innocents?

answer: People start killing innocents because they have become convinced that they have no other option. They see the world as a hopeless place, and so they lash out at those around them in order to feel some sense of control. They may also do it because they have become desensitized to violence, and see it as a normal part of life.

answer: People start killing innocents because they are angry and frustrated with the current state of the world.

answer: They are killed in the crossfire. Some parts of the populace turned their backs on science and reason.

text: The answer is not entirely accurate. 'They are killed in the crossfire.' should be clarified, as 'the crossfire of people who are angry and frustrated at the world'

refinement: People are killed in the crossfire of those angry and frustrated at the world. Some parts of the populace have turned their backs on science and reason.

answer: The narrator says that the people were scared and delusional.

question: Write a ~9 sentence summary.

answer: Climate change results in food and water shortages. The monetary system on earth is about to collapse and unemployment and despair prevail. The media, driven by greed, feed people morbid and depressing stories. The populace becomes desperate and apathetic. Revolution is needed but none could gain momentum. Suicide, murder and sickness grow. Despite population control, there are too many people for the available resources. Governments had long taken control. Nuclear war breaks out, and the nuclear winter puts an end to all life on earth.

answer: The nation's Intelligence Agency released a 140 page report detailing the lack of food and water for the planet's growing population, the inevitability of climate change to keep elevating dangerous weather conditions, and the destined collapse of the current monetary system. The whole nation was already full of unhappy people, a generation that had been fed the lie that if they worked hard they would eventually be prosperous and happy, were unemployed or held dead-end jobs where they were constrained, bored, underpaid and unappreciated. They were furious at being mislead. A generation of baby-boomers before them had stolen all of the prosperity from the nation and left a dying planet behind as their inheritance. The nation’s news-media grew increasingly cynical, morbid and depressing every day. Networks were purely out to make money and the dying nation, which felt helpless to help itself, ate up these stories and wallowed in its unhappiness. As a result those with mental disorders such as antisocial personality disorder, psychopathy and narcissistic personality disorder, began to believe that they were in fact part of the majority, as people had forgotten long ago that TV was not a true representation of reality. Such individuals became so convinced of their normalcy that they never sought out the mental counseling they so desperately needed, and as their self-assurance grew so did their boldness. A few started openly killing innocents, and once made famous by the greed of the media, more joined in. Soon even innocent children were not safe from the crossfire. With every disaster that befell the nation its people, scared and delusional, gave up one civil liberty after another until the freedom the nation once held proudly over the heads of the rest of the world was nothing more than a distant memory. Its citizens grew divided between the five stages of grief; denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance as though each stage were in fact an ideology to live by. Only a small percentage of the population had made it to the final stage and the deniers were so desperate to believe that everything would be OK that they turned their back completely on science and reason, the two things that human beings prided themselves on the most.

text: Far too many sentences. This is less a summary and more a retelling of the story.

refinement: Climate change results in food and water shortages. The monetary system on earth is about to collapse and unemployment and despair prevail. The media, driven by greed, feed people morbid and depressing stories. The populace becomes desperate and apathetic. Revolution is needed but none could gain momentum.
