The People Were Happy

A long time ago, poverty, floods, droughts, famines and war blighted a pale-blue planet. But the people endured the hardships and were happy. They believed life in the Here and Now and Ever After was predetermined and fixed like the stars in the sky. And the people found solace and solidarity in their faith.

The People Were Happy is a short story from the Tall And True writers' website, written and narrated by Robert Fairhead.
