You took your smartphone and moved back to 1984. For the sake of the plot, your phone works perfectly, but a condition of your year-long relocation in time is no one can see it, or know about it. You are to report back to 2023 the contrasts: With people, music, overall humanity, anything. Send texts, pics, videos, undetected. The elite group with whom you work has cracked the code of time travel and intervention, and while the race to colonize Mars rages on, your group has decided to instead go back to 1984 to reset the world, so to speak. Before that power leaves a seamless, yet indelible mark on the future, the group has to decide if it's for the better, or to go ahead and let it all run the course it's on, and start looking skyward for continuation. Make it funny, make it deep, make it dark, make it yours. Entry with the most likes takes the $25 wire. Go.

The following photos illustrate precise events and behaviors that should have warned us about the future of humanity.

1984

JAN

IMG_01: Inside US Government laboratory where chemist teaches CIA Agents how to cook Crack cocaine (Brooks is seen on the left).

FEB

IMG_02: Freeway Rick and Blandón set up first “Rock House” in Los Angeles (commonly called Crack Houses today).

MAR

IMG_03: Crack targeted to predominantly Black communities and other minorities (disgraced Agent Brooks seen here in the black leather jacket).

APR

IMG_04: The cause of AIDS is identified as HIV while homosexuals are left to rot and die, as seen here.

Note: I have to get to my uncle in NY before he dies. Papa always told me he died in the fall of ’84 when Mama was pregnant with me and my brother was in the hospital.

MAY

IMG_05: Crack being sold to famous actor on Hollywood Blvd. Substance spreads to affluent communities.

Note: Oops.

JUN

IMG_06: Street violence increases exponentially in LA over the new addictive freebase substance. Gang wars explode, as seen here (Crips carry out hit on rival Bloods).

JUL

IMG_07: Teenager selling Crack at the Greyhound Bus Station outside of Chicago.

Note: I will be born one year from today.

AUG

IMG_08: My uncle, dead from AIDS at only 48. Found here, alone in his apartment in Jamaica, Queens, NY.

Note: Judging by the state of his decomposition and the oven-like temperature in here, I missed him by roughly 2 days. Someone disconnected his phone from the wall jack. He couldn’t even call for help. I guess he wasn’t found until the fall of ’84. Where is the humanity?

SEP

IMG_09: The “Crack Spot” busy on a Saturday night, right in front of “New York’s Finest” police officers.

OCT

IMG_10: Patient going into cardiac arrest due to Crack overdose (seen here, still clutching the Crack Pipe to her chest).

Note: One of the most terrifying things I’ve ever seen. The eyes, I’ll never forget the eyes.

NOV

IMG_11: The term “Crack” is published for the first time, as seen in this headline of the New York Times (this newspaper cost me only a quarter, which I found on the floor).

Note: Just like the AIDS epidemic, Crack has spread like wildfire across the country in mere months. No one is coming to save us.

DEC

IMG_12: A motherless child from inside infiltrated NY Crack Spot. I purchased him for $10 and brought him to the only Safe House I could find, seen here, at a church in the city.

Note: Father John assured his safety—I do not trust him, but the time portal was closing. What have I done?

Report:

Humanity is too susceptible to corruption, addiction being the source of all evil. The destruction of entire communities and future generations due to Crack cocaine happened in months, all without mainstream use of the internet. Honesty, responsibility, care for your fellow man—every quality which makes us worth saving bear no weight when an instant fix is on the line.

This corruption is enormously dangerous in the hands of the government. Crack was invented and distributed by rogue forces within the CIA to destroy an entire population of people (see photo evidence IMG_01, IMG_03). We cannot allow humans to become helplessly addicted on mass scales.

Humanity is now suffering from its new addiction, and it is being delivered directly into every set of hands on the planet (at lightning speeds). No age is off limits to this addiction and the toll on the innocent is immeasurable. In fact, innocence has been lost long before the age of instantaneous pleasure. Children went from being sold for a $10 “Crack Fix” to being sold for a free “Click Fix”.

We have to stop this madness before it ever starts. Otherwise, we will continue to sell our souls for Likes until we burn what remains of humanity to the fucking ground.

Final Note:

What we have done to each other for Likes is dehumanizing. Beyond that, what our species has done to innocent animals, children, and any other vulnerable demographic just for that millisecond fix is disgusting. Not even a virtuous $25 writing contest is safe from an innately unfair system and those who seek to undermine their fellow man with dishonest tactics. Of course the Likes cannot be resisted by those without integrity…

But they can bring even good, honest people down to their fucking knees, begging, for just one more suck off that Likes Pipe.

Conclusion:

Reset is imperative.

1984: Crack

2023: Likes

2062: ?

In Solidarity,

God help us all.
