THE EDEN DEMOCRATIC KINGDOM, Part 1: The Pioneer Generation
|
Following a series of critical worldwide events, a new society was born on the Atlantic Ocean. It sees the light of the day as a colony through the sweat shed by its builders; not the blood shedding required by its conquerors.
Once recognized as a country, it became strongly protected against all dictatorship despite the fact that it possessed a legal owner known as its king. The monarchy and the government were bound by issues voted monthly by the population through a referendum system. Laws and social organization were no longer submitted to the unilateral decisions of those in power. THE EDEN DEMOCRATIC KINGDOM: The Pioneer Generation is the first of this science-fiction trilogy. It recalls the foundation of a country built on a virgin sector of Earth. THE EDEN DEMOCRATIC KINGDOM: Project New Hope will enter the world of androids and the discovery of a new source of clean energy. THE EDEN DEMOCRATIC KINGDOM: Survival will follow mankind packing their bags and moving out to Outer Space. Produced by

Extract:
As scheduled, at 16:25, the announcement was made:
“Air Canada flight 243, from Montreal, is now arriving at Gate number 3.”
Twenty minutes later, Michael appeared at the arriving passengers’ gate. He was proudly dressed in his spit-shined boots, his black beret, and green parade uniform. All of that clearly showed his military accomplishments and rank, his three medals of honour and his two stripes of achieved overseas missions. Michael was a walking curriculum all by himself. Mrs. Thompson was in shock when she saw her son after five years of absence; how much her boy had changed. The man that was now walking in her direction gained at least twenty well-deserved and fatless muscle pounds, with broad shoulders, and a proud posture.
The first two persons Michael recognized in the waiting crowd were mom and dad. Mrs. Thompson could not wait any longer. She ran the last yards toward her son as a raging offensive troop all by herself. She hugged her son in her arms so hard that Michael couldn’t help himself to wonder if his uniform would resist such a hug and kisses motherly greeting. Then even before saying hello to his father, Michael looked at him straight in the eyes saying, “I’m sorry Dad, for the savage way I left home five years ago.”
Michael’s father stared at his son with a steady hard look that gradually broke into a state of light watery eyes. The proud father put his arm around his son’s shoulder.
“Come now, I understood from the beginning what you were trying to do to break the parental bond and the overwhelming emotional impact. I had already given you my blessings then, but you were still too inexperienced to recognize it at that time.”
They started walking toward the crowd, mother holding her son’s arm to the left and his father to the right, his hand still on his son’s shoulder. Suddenly, Michael saw Uncle Fred and Uncle John slowly moving apart as to unwrap and reveal a gift hidden behind them.
Michael was paralyzed when he saw her, and a tear began flowing in his eye, betraying his emotions. Michael was hit by a flash thought. He knew all of a sudden that his military career was over. Michael’s secret true love was there to greet him. He welcomed with pleasure that gift from life; even if it destroyed all the plans he had made for his three-month leave. Michael’s heart pounded so hard inside his chest he thought it would not stand the blood pressure, and would explode inside his body.
Breaking loose from his parents’ restraints, he quick walked the final twenty yards toward Ghyslaine. He surrounded his loved one in his arms. He hugged her and kissed her passionately as though the crowd had suddenly disappeared. Michael had never felt such an intense tingling sensation running inside his entire body when he hugged other girls throughout his teen adventure years. Only Ghyslaine had the exclusive and duly deserved right to such an intensive silent body screaming sensation that gives the impression of floating in the air. That shiver ran all the way up Michael’s spine, spread at the level of his shoulders and then, ran back down again in a bursting sensation inside his chest. It provided a feeling of complete abandon and trust; as though one’s body was melting. Michael had a brief impression that his arms were embracing the only essential and worthy remnant of the whole vanished world. Even time seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden.
After two or three minutes, Michael was brought back to reality by his father’s light tap on the shoulder. “Come on, son! Let’s head for home.” Somehow, Michael was a little irritated by that fatherly caring touch that pulled him out of his nirvana.
