Most of you have probably heard about the short story contest that pertains to the problems of today. I'm having quite a bit of trouble settling on a single idea. I could use some help in deciding so hopefully you all can help. Feel free to comment your own ideas as well (or use some of mine, just tell me before you do)

1. Global warming- The worlds oceans are encroaching on the islands that were once great continents and people are rushing to makeshift cities that have sprung up in the only places not underwater
2. Oil dries up- All oil reserves are empty. The most powerful are the ones who control alternative fuels and energy sources. Wars break out for the remaining energy sources and people live in a dark world (mostly)
3. Technology controls us- Eventually all physical contact will be blocked by screens and technological devices. No more human interaction.
4.Radical Weather- Increased ocean temperature causes enormous storms until the entire world is engulfed by rain and wind.
5. Super Bacteria- The increased use of antibiotics on wounds and in people has caused a strain of bacteria to become immune to all antibiotics known to man.
I haven't even started to come up with an idea. I think you should consider writing a story about the oil drying up. You could do some really cool things with that.
