A Boi's Life

Author's note: all characters are over eighteen years of age and are fictional

Greetings everyone! I'm Arielle Cortland. I'm an eighteen year old graduate of Jefferson High School in the city of Crescent Peaks here on the earth colonial world of Artemis Nine. Now you may be wondering how a young man such as myself ended up with what was once considered a feminine name like Arielle. Well just take a gander at the picture up top and you'll see. Yes that little cutie is me! Aren't I adorable.

Now you're probably asking yourself, Arielle how do you a boi look like that? Just bare with me as I break the fourth wall just a little more. You see it is now the year 2376 and we men and women have been going through evolutionary changes. We men have become smaller and our features have become more delicate and refined. Even our hands and feet are smaller, hell I only wear a size five and a half shoe. I'm only five feet tall and I weigh only a hundred and four pounds. As you can also tell by my picture up top my vision isn't exactly 20/20 so I do wear eyeglasses.

Our evolution started centuries ago when we took over what were once women's traditional roles and they took over ours. They became the breadwinners and we took over the domestic duties including child rearing. Some of us are even beginning to develop breasts. Some scientists speculate that in a few hundred years women will loose their breasts and we men will all have boobs. That of course depends on whether or not this evolution continues.

We men have also lost the ability to grow facial hair or hair on our bodies and limbs. Women on the other hand have become bigger and their features more rough and course. They now grow facial hair that some of them shave and some grow beards. For instance my mother shaves but at the end of the day she has a five o'clock shadow on her face.

My mother is a civil engineer and a decorated combat veteran of our planet's war of independence from Earth. Her name is Deanna, I have an older sister also named Deanna, we call her DJ, short for Deanna junior. She's currently serving in our planetary army in a special forces unit.

Our father died a few years back in a hover car accident. He was coming home from grocery shopping when a drunk driver hit him from behind. His name was Jenna. We are all still devastated by his **** especially Mom. Since his **** I have tried to do as much around the house as I can. DJ is stationed away from home so it's only Mom and I.

Well you'll learn more about me and my family as the story progresses. I hope you enjoy my tale.
