Ready or not, Sixers, it's 2022 and we're looking forward to a fresh, new year. The state of the world is constantly changing, and we rise to meet upcoming challenges armed with wit, wisdom, and brevity. For SixContest #142, we'd like you to write a memoir that predicts the future.

Tell us how 2022 is going to change the world. What's going to be the next big social media trend? Technology and science continue to evolve: what interstellar mysteries are we going to discover and solve? What does 2022 mean for your personal goals and ambitions? What do you see coming across the universe?

If you'd like to share a backstory (we love reading them!), be sure to submit your entry as a Six and include the link to the Backstory here in the comments below. Share as many stories as you like, but do post only one entry per comment.

Remember to tag us and include #PredictTheFutureInSixWords when posting your Six Words to Twitter, Facebook and Instagram!
