They came one day and did not
leave. Every one of them were gorgeous, immortal, powerful. Most have not seen
them for good reason. Hiding at the edge of the universe to create their own
worlds. Mortals left them alone out of fear of the unknown. Ten castles were built for them. Odd thing
was the lack of materials on the edge of the universe.
After a thousand years of silence
from these people, they became myth. What happened next is the account of J.
Adonai of the Grande Universe Patrol unit. His cruiser was accidentally sucked
into the gravity of one of their planets.
J. Adonai: “So we were doing our
regulars, see? Its when you go around the universe where we live to find
suspicious activity. Everyday we take a bet to see who can get the closest to
the mystery planet. This has been going on for ten years. I guess I got too
close.”
Interviewer: “What was the first
thing you saw when you landed?”
J. Adonai: “So I landed. The ground
was as soft as a real planet, with grass I mean. It smells like a real planet.
Nitrogen levels were right so I could breathe the air. Looks like a regular
planet so I took off my face guard, but not my whole helmet. Walked around a
bit. Thought I got caught in one of the asteroids. Next thing, a little girl
taps my shoulder.”
Interviewer: “Give me as much
detail as possible.”
This is fun, I like it a lot. Especially the promise of the immortals. Write some more! Right now! More than, "Write" NOW! Ahahahahaha! But serious, write some more.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cerasi! I want more now!
ReplyDeleteI love how this sets up so much: a universe, an immortal race of people, and a chance encounter with them. All I can say is I want more of it.
