Question:

Could someone help me with my story?

It's an assignment, and it has to do something with energy or the environement. No magical world. it has to be realistic but for the purpose of the assignment, my teacher said that it could have a time travel device.

I have the setting:

I was thinking about a guy that lives in a world that is so polluted that the world has built some sort of environement in which we basially live in plastic tunnels throughout the city, like subways for people to walk, drive, etc.most of the animals are extincts except for the ones kept in the city zoos. A lot of people have been killed by storms. Most of New England has been flooded and the character moves to someplace, maybe new york where it constantly snows now. The global weather is all screwed up. Oil has become so scare that people flee to Alaska, the only source left like people searching for gold in CA in the 1800s.
All the people outside the tunnels are basically suffering because the environment is so intoxicating it is killing ppl.

Well, my problem is that I don't have a problem for the story. I bascially begin the story about how my character is remembering how it was to live in our world before lving in the plastic tunnels.

Sounds like a huge hamster habitat. I guess it keeps people safe, but it's awfully confining.

Maybe the guy finally can't take it and leaves the hamster trails just long enough to see the sky before it chokes him to death. Kinda like The Lady of Shalott--she's sick of living in her tower, so she gets in a boat and floats away rather than live trapped all her life (she dies when she leaves the tower.)
