Extremely difficult choices..... I would rather not vote really. Nevertheless here it goes.
Given the fact that:

"The challenge is to portray this "rot" beneath the surface of a future society/city/person/alien/ship"

3 points- koosivantutte ----------------" crisis"

2 points- thunderstone----------------"view from my future apartment"

1 point- renmmk------------------------"Just breath"

honorable mentions to all

Let´s act for a better future

Cheers !
