More DescriptionRuth and Harvey Flanders are overjoyed to finally reach their new home. They had been travelling for ten months on a spaceship to settle in the new colony - only sprung up in the beautiful vegetation fifteen years prior. The place reminds them of Earth, of California or Florida - that is, before everything was decimated by the Blight. They, along with everyone else who traveled on the long space voyage, hope that this place will be as good as they imagined it to be. It is said that the area has three or four times the harvest than Earth did, and things tend to grow five or six times bigger than on their home planet! But the new colonists quickly discover that their new home is not the paradise they had envisioned. The new settlers were not informed of the fact that they'd have to permanently wear oxygen masks. And they would be charged an exorbitant price to daily refill their oxygen tanks. Everyone who has settled at the new colony is forced to work slave labour in the fields and fruit orchards to keep up with their daily living expenses.
