The Hart School Experiment

9/8/2051

Dear Diary

So today I got to my new school. It’s an all girls boarding school, The Hart School of Art. In Plymouth, Massachusetts. Which is pretty cool because my great great great great great grandfather, Harrison Shoesmith came here on the fucking Mayflower! I’m a history nerd so that’s cool to me. He married a native not long after he got here. He was a man of peace and love, not war and hate. He gave her this platinum heart shaped locket for their first anniversary, and remember this was back in the 1600’s! So that was a big deal. It was a big deal that he marrie a native and not someone else who’d come over from England or something. He didn’t care. He told her, as long as she kept that locket closed, good things would come from the New World…. Or so Ive been told but fast forward to now, I wear the locket that now. My mom gave it to me before I left California for here and said it would bring me good things as long as I kept it shut! Anyway. I think this locket is good luck. This school is like a caste surrounded by smaller castles. Like something out the old Harry Potter movies. I can’t believe I’m staying here and this is how I’m gonna start high school!!! The dorm assistant who brought me my room was almost too nice to me! She carried my bags for me to my room, and introduced me to my roommate Riley. She seems cool, she was reading this book when I walked in. She seems really nice but to herself. Which is how I am, so I’m sure we’ll get along. Classes start tomorrow I’m so excited to see what “Diverse Worlds” class is about. Ahhh, I digress. I’m gonna hit the sheets! Stay tuned for tomorrow diary!

Love, Hannah

Dear Diary,

So today was first day of classes! Some pretty cool subject matter they teach you here. I mean, Geographic Structure Study is basically my math class with a taste of engineering, I guess? Everyone here is surprisingly nice to me. Certainly not like the girls in Los Angeles, that’s for damn sure. Maybe this pendant is good luck. I did get at least 3 or 4 compliments on it, just TODAY! My roommate Riley is in most of my classes I noticed. There’s something odd about her. It’s not like she’s mean or nasty or anything. She just seems like she knows something I don’t…. Plus she’s ALWAYS reading this book. There’s no title just a picture of Pyramid with a Heart shaped eye. Hey, whatever that’s her business. She doesn’t bother me any. I’d say today was a good first day of the semester. A success! This is just the start diary! Stay tuned

Love, Hannah

Dear Diary,

Okay… today was weird as fuck. Pardon my French! But it was. I mean…. It’s like everyone was programmed to act the same way they did yesterday. Super nice. Robotically nice or something. And something else…. When I came back to my dorm, Riley was nowhere to be found. Her book was on her desk, the one I told you about with the Illuminati looking symbol. So me being the curious cat I am, I decided to read some of it……. Turns out…. This book, that MY roommate has, is about the same heart shaped platinum I’m wearing, the one my Great Grandfather Harrison Shoesmith gave to my grandma, the Native American one… I mean the whole goddamn book is on this locket. Now I know why I’m not supposed to open because I skipped to end…. This could be the end, Diary. Now I finally understand.. this is destiny… I’m gonna try to sleep, given the information I just read. Riley still isn’t here. Which is weird but whatever. Alright, Goodnight Diary!

Love, Hannah

*the hover projector clicks off*

“In their world, they believed that some sort of ‘God’ made this ‘Big Bang Theory’ … and that could be true!” Professor Smith stated as I hastily took notes on the presentation that was just given to us

“But we know the REAL Big Bang of our world… we have physical proof written, on what the world was running the world on at that point in time, Apple, we have an Apple file from what they describe as ‘Year 2051’ … we have proof of events leading up to the point of the birth of our world, a far more advanced world” Professor Smith continued, “I show you these slides because the ‘date’ of our birth, was a milestone for that world. 50 years since an attack on American soil, but Hannah couldn’t resist the temptation of opening that locket - which brings me to my conclusion, for 450 years, that world remained civilized. Then all thanks to Hannah’s Temptation, which will be next lecture lead us to where we are today” the Professor ended, “thank you all, class dismissed”

I sat there and pondered so much, knowing a 14 year old girl created our world out sheer curiosity. Our world swallowed theirs whole and filtered out the bad and kept the good. I guess this is like that show “The Jetsons” that was popular in their world. Their depiction of us… it’s almost spot on. They even had a “science fiction” section for entertainment… maybe not knowing, they were watching things other worlds were doing. They weren’t watching fiction but complete and total non-fiction… they had no idea. And then there’s the question, where did Riley go, where did she get that book?

Even with that information… this concept of “world” seems to complex. There has to be more to life than hovercrafts and facial recognition…. Right?
