The following story is about a place far away called Cellcity. Cellcity’s border is surrounded by a protective city wall. Inside, the city’s road system allows its residents to travel throughout the city. Bricks for the city roads, buildings, etc. are produced at the local brickyard. When someone in Cellcity wants to send a package to a neighboring town, all they have to do is visit the post office. Everyone’s home in Cellcity is kept warm in winter and cool in summer with power from one of the many municipal energy plants. Although, for the energy conscious residents, there is also a solar energy plant available. City hall lies near the center of town and is monitored by a surrounding fence complete with a security guard. For the history buffs in town, they can visit city hall to unfurl the rolls and view the original blueprints for town. Not everyone is so concerned with seeing the originals though. Some residents are perfectly fine viewing the blueprint copies that are frequently circulated. These copies are made using the city hall’s copy machine. Recycling is encouraged in Cellcity and therefore waste disposal centers are located throughout town. Items that residents aren’t ready to through away but no longer have room for at home and thus need to be put into storage can be conveniently deposited in one of the town’s many warehouses.
