The Future City
The four friends stared in awe at the holographic display, their minds racing with questions.
“What is this place?” Korede asked, his eyes fixed on the futuristic cityscape.
Mr. Johnson smiled. “This, my boys, is Elysium. A city of the future, designed and built by your parents.”
Lekan’s eyes widened. “Our parents built this?”
Mr. Johnson nodded. “Yes, they did. Along with a team of scientists and engineers, they worked tirelessly to create a sustainable, self-sufficient city of the future.”
Ayo’s face was scrunched up in thought. “But why? What was the purpose of building this city?”
Mr. Johnson’s expression turned serious. “Your parents were visionaries, boys. They saw a future where the world was plagued by climate change, poverty, and inequality. And they wanted to create a solution.”
Tunde’s eyes lit up. “A solution? What kind of solution?”
Mr. Johnson smiled. “Elysium is more than just a city, boys. It’s a prototype for a new way of living. A way that combines sustainable energy, advanced technology, and social equality to create a truly utopian society.”
The four friends stared at each other, their minds reeling with the implications.
“This is incredible,” Korede breathed.
Mr. Johnson nodded. “Yes, it is. And I believe that you four have the potential to take Elysium to the next level.”
Lekan’s eyes narrowed. “What do you mean?”
Mr. Johnson smiled. “I mean that I want you four to inherit Elysium. To take over the project and bring it to fruition.”
The four friends stared at each other, their hearts racing with excitement.
Were they ready to take on the challenge of a lifetime?
