Might not be here long

It's not that we went hungry, it's just disgusting. Derot roots literally tasted like putrefied chicken that's been left in the hot sun for several days. The smell of rotting roadkill, tastes like that smells. Many of the animals were rather difficult to catch let alone kill, so meat was exceptionally rare and costly, but tasted decent at the least. Wing walkers for example taste like a mix between char broiled beef and baked chicken, but the little guys were very hard to catch, if you could survive it's razor like claws or venomous bite. Also not a lot of meat on him.

Additionally worth mentioning, wouldn't be the first time I've ate human.
:eek:
 
so it worked more like a concentration camp commune? Did you get paid in food ? What did you barter with?
 
I'm a little uncomfortable having you share about non-human love or cannibalism, but you can describe your world all you want.

Hope that makes sense?

It was a lot like a concentration camp overall, but not entirely, one could easily come and go without any issue. And yes you were paid in food for the most part. It's not unlike socialism. We bartered using derot roots and oftentimes blades and other forms of crafted weapons in exchange for other material resources we needed in the community such as clothing, quality meat, ammunition, etc.

I can understand that. In my defence I was a very young child when I had a crush on him and he was humanoid. Not unlike a small kid having a crush on a teacher or babysitter. Just stupid innocence.

And gotcha about cannibalism, I won't mention anything further about what we do with the deceased as a form of burial rites.

So did you ever go to high school? And when did you cross dimensions?
I came here by accident in early 2061, here it was 2002.

Recent development. I ended up running into someone who claims to be an interdimensional time traveler on Minds. Got into some back and forth with him on their insite messenger. I was asking him if he knew of a world similar to where I came from, giving him details about the USSR, nuclear war, democratically elected government in China as well as China being capitalistic, and perpetual cloudiness.

He stated he knew of several matching that description but also mentioned there were only 2 that he knows of that human life continued onward with, both of which have animal life like "Wing Walkers" and "this banshee thing that's best left ignored". I had him describe Rafes and he got them down to a T.

I invited him to come to the forum, don't think he's willing to come though saying "I have enough conspiracy nutjobs on my back asking the dumbest questions about a future that's not going to happen just let them bask in their ignorance I'm just here for the show". He refuses to elaborate on the meaning behind "a future that's not going to happen" and "I'm just here for the show".

So now I'm trying to wrap my head around his last statement.

I'm doubtful he's referring to the upcoming megadrought in SW United States devastating food crops and clean drinking water supplies because that happened in my universe's history right around this same time period, and I'm quite doubtful the historical weather conditions are the same in the same time period in both universes. Otherwise there'd already be plentiful news reports today about ongoing drought conditions in the SW USA with warnings that it's going to become far worse.

Any thoughts on what he could have meant?

this gets more and more fascinating.

Did the old man live "in town" if there was an "in-town" or in the barrarcks?

John lives in the barracks. He didn't mind company though, so I listened to him a lot mostly to hopefully be offered a place to sleep instead of sleeping in the streets.

I wish I had a clearer image of the settlement. So there were barracks that housed folks. Did families live togther or was it men in one area women in the other and kids in another? And there was a giant wall around the settlement like a fort? and inside this area were streets or there were streets outside the settlement? Were there social events like dances or something or was it just miserable all the time and more like life in a concentration camp?

Well,there are a gazillion ways for us to destroy this Earth and we've been playing around with it for years and then there are all the prophecies,Earth changes etc so thinking of all that as a "show" might make sense.
Tell me more about the other Time Traveler. What is your assessment? Is he the real deal or a con?
