"Flying Sparks", a Story


I am one of the refugees from Spark, which is an underground city.  The world above is in ruins.  The landscape is littered with wreckage left by the old people, like blown-up cars.  It was hard get out of Spark.  There was not much technology, so I had to invent TNT in order to blow up a metal door to get out to the surface of the Earth.  Then we had to take every thing that we had in Spark to a new place.  Finally we found an old town (San Francisco).  That is where I settled with the rest of the Spark people.  This short story is based on the book “The City of Ember”.
