"During the day, people are safe and happy... But come nightfall, the true ugliness of society emerges."
Those are words one might associate with some dark distopia far in the future...
Sorry to break it to you, but it's been that way for a while.
I live on a Type 4 death planet with my people: humanity. I wish I could say that we weren't like other death worlders, but that would be a lie more massive than our yellow sun.
In truth, we are all they are and more. Along with the Hir'rii, humans developed in a hyper competitive biosphere with a radioactive yellow star and heavy tectonic activity. Top it off with gravity three times stronger than standard and it's a miracle we exist at all.
We are a diverse people, but a corrupted one. We all are either exploited by others or doing the exploiting.
Our home planet of Earth is on the verge of becoming the second Type 5 death planet in our system... an issue we are causing willingly.
This is a story you might not be able to handle, but I thank you for taking the time to read it. Maybe it can save your people...
