Inside the frame a futuristic city was bursting with activity.
Children were playing hide and seek in vast green oases between glass skyscrapers while their parents chatted to friends and neighbours, clad in fluorescent avant-garde clothing.

Great futuristic story. You’re getting closer to your 300th story.
this blog does inspire me to write
Final line makes it all the more poignant. Tomorrow died centuries ago. Very well said.
