Avrils Journal

First entry-April 8, 2044

My name is Avril Cote. I am 18 years old. I am a crack mechanic and I work for my uncle Michel. When I am not getting greasy working on cars I can be found in the orchard helpin g mamere( grandma) and Maman checking on the apple trees and helping at harvest time.

I am a bit of a loaner and I spend a lot of time reading and helping with my younger siblings. My father is an astronaut and is currently stationed at one of twenty space stations in the galaxy. This space station is actually a fancy hotel for space tourists willing to pay through the nose for the privilege to see the planets up close and personal. Tired of world tours of earth, the elite started signing up through Virgin air in the early part of the century and since then prices have decreased to allow every day people to tour the universe.

I read a lot of science fiction fantasy written in the twentieth century which by now is more fact than fiction. I look up at the stars every night after talking to dad on the com-phone which is based on the early MSN instant messengers and Skype.  Just being able to see dad daily is easy to deal with the fact that dad is a few light years away circling the rings of Jupiter. So when i look up at the night sky I feel his presence.

Well it's getting late an I have to be at Michels shop to help him repair some rich politicians hovercraft. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in office and has totally over hauled the energy industry in order to be more environmentally responsible. We are fitting all hovercrafts with solar panels to help conserve fossil fuels.  Well good night I will write more tomorrow--Avril
