Strange: The Senior Young Writers Group Zine 2023

Neutropia:
The neutropia is going strong. It’s had its hiccoughs as all such
futures have, the climate crisis still threatens its safety, but the
mundanity ploughs ahead.
Leaders across the globe, steeped in their vainglory, drive their
charges towards a status quo they dare not disturb.
People take their sides, ranting each other into ideological
trenches, a stalemate World War III raging on into eternity.
The majority live their lives, following the regular routine in a
lackadaisical monotony. They see the ranters but pay them no
heed, they watch their leader’s vainglorious inadequacy with
detached discontent, and all the while they drag themselves
further into the known neutropia of tomorrow.
