Appendix III - FUTURE HISTORY OF EARTH (2022-2053)

*** WORK-IN-PROGRESS - DRAFT COMPLETED IN 1996 ***

2022: Earth is visited by many aliens at this point. It is now fully accepted that we are not alone in the universe. Enter two charismatic new aliens. They claim to be the God and Goddess of the enitre Universe. The only Gods we’ll ever need. They also drop the big bombshell on us. The one that forever changes the way we view our lives on Earth and all life in the Universe. And here it is: We are just a very elaborately drawn 3-D "cartoon world" - nothing more, nothing less (and they convinced us that this was OK). They convinced us that it was OK to just be "as real as you can be." But remember, you’re actually an elaborate 3-D drawing with your own special rules that govern your life and your life only. Your electronic brain is real to you. You actually THINK and this makes you very real - real enough to procreate, real enough to have hopes and dreams.

2022-2029: Seven years where we got used to the idea that we were really just incredibly intricate 3-D cartoons. During this period, the Animators proved their stuff (many times!). Like drawing a flood and then stopping it right before it hit a small mountain town. Skeptics were tolerated. We started getting used to viewing the ever-morphing faces of these two as their skin colors cascaded from purple to the colors of a late summer rainbow during their daily Ultravision 6-hour specials.

2030-2053: From 2030 until the present there was a total takeover of the media with the introduction of The Game (aka WIN YOUR DREAM). It's on your Hyperbox 24 hours a day. Universally translated into every tongue. It’s everyone’s dream and everyone’s deepest fear. You are called to WIN YOUR DREAM at random (although some would say there’s a method to their scheduling madness). Just at the right moment, some would say, you are whisked away for training in the virtual reality playfields established by Our Lady and Our Lord. Then, when the time is right, you are brought to the playfields. The game then begins. You could be starving in a desert warlord city or you could be negotiating a billion dollar supply deal for Your Creators. If you win, if you achieve your objective, you get the fantasy life of your dreams - redrawn in an instant by The God and The Goddess. In addition to WIN YOUR DREAM, a Hyperbox show known as The Seven is a service provided free of charge to the general public. It contains news and other public affairs programming that is pumped into your head during sleep (when WIN YOUR DREAM shuts down for 4 hours on a regional basis). The Seven is on somewhere in the World at all times. During each and every day.

What is "New Trinity Dawn"?

Hiya.

Well, it's the current working title of a sci-fi script that I started way back in 1991. Back then, it was called "VR World" (too 90s at this point - LOL!). Then it was called "VR World: Dawn of the New Trinity" (which was eventually shortened to just "Dawn of the New Trinity").

And now, I think we've finally landed on something really cool:

New Trinity Dawn

Me like-ee!!!

This blog won't become fully active until mid-Fall, 2009. It will chart the resurrection of the script and offer historic background ("proof") of the journey I've been on with this thing (yes, This Thing) since the early 90s. The funny thing is, it's at least 3/4 finished. And the ending is already charted. But it's sat for years. When I moved to Sedona in 2006, I dusted it off, got my fresh copy of 'Final Draft' which was the software I was using, and put some notes in the Tracking Log. But that was about it.

First derailment? Working 70+ hours a week for AT&T through the 90s and well into the 21st century (until mid-2006, actually). While it was exciting and most definitely financially rewarding, it didn't leave too much time for anything else.

So... that's it for now. See you sometime in mid-OCT, I would imagine.
