Esmerelda
Name is A Z, I live in the city of Esmeralda city of water. I fully have yet to understand how my city works. If anyone describes my city they end up looking like idiots trying to explain that my city is a twisted maze of canals and streets. What I do with my life is help out the family business of transporting goods from one place to another by boat since it is the fastest way to get through town and it’s the best way to avoid pedestrians. I honestly would probably prefer something more stable than how my city is set up I love it but I am just different about what keeps me in high spirits. It just bugs me that there is just way to many ways to get to one place to another other I guess I just do not have that Esmeraldian since of adventure everyone talks about I need order and a better structure.
This place is not as bad as I can complain about it it’s very pretty! The city covered in a lot of our ancestral art and architecture. Sometimes when I am not making deliveries for the family I go grab my sketch book and draw a lot of the buildings from a very high point of view hopefully I eventually fully understand how to navigate through the city through practice of my drawings.
On a typical day my pattern waking up late for work typically, getting fussed at by my dad for being late and do deliveries for my dad. If my destination is two far he tries to navigate the fastest way possible for me to be there and back. On my way back I usually catch a meal on the canal market where they have restaurants located on the canal and chill with a bunch of usual and unusual suspects of this city leave then get back to work.

The City of Los Cielo
{this is the story of the day and life of (Ahuilizi)
Ahuilizi is my name I am a 17year old that resides in the city of Los Cielo (heaven) located in the islands of the pacific. My day consist of apprenticing at my sensei’s art studio, delivering pizzas on my moped, and going home that’s pretty much it. Art is a big deal in our city being an artist was like being a rock star in our culture. Every year the whole city prepares for the big annual Ezyah (illusionism) Bizarre Festival it’s held every spring, and every artist in town and a lot from out of town put in for one of the worlds biggest art shows luckily my sensei was requested to host it this year. So I get to put in my art and my name as one his apprentices that helped with festival.
I practice a lot of my art with Sensei practicing the ancient art of the indigenous tribes and cities of my culture, and majority of our society is based upon their art. In the1950’s Japan and my country export and import a lot of goods with each other and bits of our culture mixed with theirs over time their art started to influence ours. So their art and architecture started to blend with their culture. This is how I make a living as an artist and get college credits before I become a master my self like sensei. This is normal for my culture most of the world go-to school until they’re age into young adult at the age of 18. Our education system is set to where the graduating average is at 15 which is awesome I must comment. After we graduate I college system is set up to where you apprentice for under a profession until you have mastered your profession and it ends up paying off because its cheaper than universities, specially if you just want to specialize in art, doctors I don’t know so much about.
How I make pay? I do some part-time work at he Tsunami Wave Pizza Cafe doing deliveries. Deliveries let me get to go see a lot of the city from the top of the hills of the island where you can see wind power mills and the solar panels that power the city. Sometimes I like going to see the moon set light on to the beach. My city has to be one of the cleanest and prettiest cities in the world I must say and I am proud to call it home.
