    About this ebook

    A fictional speech given some 50 years in the future to an audience born in the last 10-15 years of the 20th century, this short piece reflects a vision of a better tomorrow created by the hard work and dedication of my generation. It characterizes the successes of the men and women of this Generation 2K as unrivaled and unfathomable in the years we were born, recognizing our generation, and indeed every new generation, as the most important and valuable assets to the world of the now. It portrays a world where it is fundamentally understood that our primary duty is to safeguard the future security of our children, that they may grow up in a world more prosperous than our own. More over, this speech attests to the inexorable capacity for the unity of mankind and the underlying desire within the human heart to work toward a state of unprecedented universal well-being on every continent.

    Bahhaj J. Hockley

    I am 22 and a senior in college attempting to get my Bachelor's Degree in aerospace engineering at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. I started writing at a fairly young age and have continued to do so on and off throughout adolescence. As my writing has improved over the years, I have decided to take on more and more ambitious projects, culminating in the trilogy I am currently working on called The Elister Chronicles. I finished the first book several months ago and have been thinking of ideas for the sequel simply because I enjoy the story line and feel there is room for it to continue. I am hoping to hone my skills with this novel and others to come. I genuinely enjoy the craft which I have taken as a hobby and invite you to follow my progress as a writer and enjoy the fruits of my labor.
