Story Based On Future Perfect Continuous Tense
The New Age of Spirituality
In the new century, people will have been bending towards Eastern cultures and religions for a long time. Since the EAST represents divinity, dawn, freshness, and purity, spirituality will have been prevailing over prejudices since the birth of a new incarnation. The civilizations built over the corpse of nature will have been collapsing since the beginning of the new century. Only the man-centered approach will have been disappearing, and the ancient philosophy based on nature-worshipping will have been emerging once again since the victory of nature worshippers. The separatist powers will not have been gaining any ground for years, and people will have been living in complete harmony with soul and nature since the arrival of divine powers on the earth. Divinity will have been planning to cleanse the earth from evil for years to begin the new age, which always comes after the sinful age of evil, just as the dawn emerges from the womb of darkness of night.

Now that we have covered all elements of the Future Tense, let's look at a comprehensive review story to practice your final skills!
Pride of Odisha
Sona will join some good and genuine N.G.O. involved in the care of the female child. She will not let the innocent and tender brains of these deprived girls be poisoned by the separatist forces supported by foreign countries. She will give her full support to the cause. She will impart free education to the girls at a nearby slum; for that, she will give one hour daily. When her other friends are watching some entertaining serial, she will be busy teaching her little angels. She will not let their parents marry them at a tender age, and neither will she allow them to send their daughters outside Odisha to work as domestic help. "I shall not let them be exploited like me," she explains.
Before December, her orphanage will have been constructed with the help of her friends, who will adopt the orphan girls to give them a better life. No more girls will be exported to other states or nations from Odisha. One day, these girls will bring the pride of Kalinga back.
These girls will be nurtured with the indigenous customs and traditions of their state. They will learn the history of ancient Odisha and will preserve the uniqueness of their state. They will revive the dying industries of Odisha and will learn to live and die with self-respect, which has been the chief characteristic of the natives of Odisha that had once forced the great Ashoka to leave the path of violence.
