It had been my final act of creation. As the event horizons of the three created planets touched Earth, I had purged the Earth of humanity's thousands of years of pollution, on land, sea and sky. All of Earth's landfills and dumps were transformed into simple dirt, all the filth in the waters cancelled, all the giga-tons of atmospheric nasties now just a memory. In an instant Earth's atmosphere lost 117 ppm of CO2, dropping from almost 390 to just above 270 and matching the current value at Tierra.
It won't last, not quite. Earth's power plants are still running full throttle. But there's only a dozen years left. My final act of creation was to eliminate most of the world's coal, oil, and natural gas. I made the remaining supplies super pure and sweet and easy to get at, and proportioned it to countries around the world based on their current consumption rates.
I also modified the DNA of a number of Earth plants. The chemicals could still be produced synthetically, but the days of growing narcotics or hallucinogens are over.
Fair? Hell no. The former drug growers and oil producing countries of the world will probably curse me into eternity for what I've done, if they ever find out whom to curse. And maybe some people could even make a valid case, for native populations using hallucinogens and opiates in religious or traditional ceremonies. But, sorry guys. The man with the Go.D. degree has spoken. Earth's lunatic days are over.
Energy-wise I'm starting everybody off on an even footing. The world has twelve years to wean themselves away from fossil fuels, more if they start cutting back now.
What will I do if they don't adapt? I'm not sure. But, I'm a compassionate guy. Maybe I won't do anything for a decade, but after that, I suppose I could be a bit more generous. I just hope people are almost off fossil fuels by then.
Am I playing God? Sure. But influence does change perspective. Melanie and I talked about this for months, and in the end we figured, what the hell!

Anonymous3 months agoWhat the hell was page 12 & 13. Great up until then. That’s when I quit reading. Ruined a great story and sorry I wasted my time! LM
rbloch665 months agoThis story took me to a place, conceptually, that otherwise may never have considered….. thus the beauty of sci-fi. This story far exceeded my expectations of entertainment value. Loved it!!
oldpantythiefover 3 years agoLike some of the others, the physics was way over my head but obviously you have either researched it or know it quite well. Be that as it may, I really liked the story for the most part. Still not sure why Melanie's parents were such dicks, but they did get their just rewards, kind of. I can understand that in the heat of the moment and with the anger he did what he did. Had to go back and read that part again where the Detectives were doing their investigations. Just another one for the un-closed cases that will never be resolved.
wolverine006over 4 years ago>>There is one detail that you missed, while you gave humanity a replacement for the moon, you took away the Lagrange points. L4 and L5 are no longer stable. By changing the mass ratios between the earth and its new moon, L4 and L5 became unstable.
You are wrong anonymous.
>>If you had a system where two planets were comparable in mass/size, and only separated by a short distance, you could have what's known as either a binary or double planet system. Recent studies indicate that this is legitimately possible.

Squigwordover 4 years agoFor the past few days have been using all my free moments to read more of your story. I enjoyed the read .the suspense if if he would fuck up real
Bad was good.enjoyed the anal desires and respect of the reality and consequences.
Still would like to know why the girls parents were so messed up , but not enough to ruin the story.Anger and Sorrow definitely have got me thinking and trying to understand.have found that anger and proving a just point can bring to change.
Thank you for a wonderfull story.
