Ghosts, Mutants or Myth? Is There Life Beyond the Dome?
After The Fall of the Ancient Civilisations there were many people who did not join The Founders under the shelter of The Dome. Many fled before the Beginning, hoping to escape the Storm Cloud and find less polluted areas. Some were caught outside the Dome when the gates were sealed during the Great Storm. A few people deliberatly stayed behind in the Ancient City in attempt to weather the storm until it passed.
Amongst the Dome Community, there are many rumours and speculation about what happened to these people.
Many dismiss the rumours entirely.
Myth. I've lived by the Dome edge my whole life and never seen anything.
It's just ghost stories. Nightmares and tall tales designed to scare children away from the edge.Others wonder whether life could be sustained beyond the shelted of domed cities.
Perhaps it is possible to live outside long term. How freeing must that be.Some believe that the people became ghosts who haunt the smog.
Oh, they're ghosts alright. I’ve seen them. Well, flashes of them. They’re quick. One moment they’re there, the next they’re gone.Or that they evolved into something that was no longer human.
I saw one and it had a trunk. Or perhaps that was a dream.
I've never seen them but, whatever they are we need to keep those things away from our community! Close the Gates!The question of whether anything could survive in the world outside is an ongoing ponderance for both The Dome Community and me as the creator. For example, are their cities in the less polluted countryside? What animals survived? What are the ghosts? Will the Explorers' Guild organise a mission to seek them out? Until then, they remain a mystery.
