《The Land of the Unknown》Episode 1 (Part 3)
Advertisement
Tommy and Antonio left the library and wasted more time exploring the unfamiliar town until it got around the time for the Planetarium to start. Antonio looked at his watch while Tommy glanced at his map, hoping they went in the right direction.
The two arrived back at the Planetarium where an attendant showed them the way to the back door as a line of impatient people stepped inside.
Everyone found some good seats on the floor as the doors shut, and the big room got dark. The woman working there moved toward the orb in the center of the chamber and turned it, showing off some pictures while she narrated. The audience oohed at the different things happening in the day and night cycles.
Birds would fly, and clouds would take shape in the daylight, while shooting stars and owls flew by in the night. A shot of a meteor also showed up as it hit a planet called Cobrichi, resulting in an explosion of stardust. It flew over the crowd, almost as if one could touch it themselves.
Eventually, the show ended, and everyone applauded. The crowd left the area and headed to the gift shop and the museum next to it. After a while, Tommy and Antonio headed out of the Planetarium.
“That was so cool!” Tommy exclaimed, getting pumped up.
“Yeah, it was like a mix of 2D, and 3D rolled into one!” Antonio added.
“Couldn’t you just say 4D?” Tommy said, rolling his eyes.
“Or maybe it’s like a 4D slideshow?”
Tommy facepalmed and walked away.
“Hey, wait for me!” Antonio exclaimed, trying to follow his friend at a breakneck pace.

“Ok, I think we still have some time left,” Antonio checked his watch and confirmed.
“All right, let’s head to that science place,” Tommy replied. He took the map from his friend to take another look at it. “Do you have any idea where it could be?”

“Hmm, I’m not so sure where it could be exactly...” Antonio glanced over and sighed. “But I know we’ll find it, eventually, hopefully.” He pondered for a moment and thought up an idea. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. He dialed up a number and placed the phone near his ear.
“Uh, what are you doing?”
“Calling my Uncle,”
“Oh, good idea.”
Soon, the phone came through. “Hey, Sam, it’s me. Yeah, I’m on a field trip with my friend in Aylont. Yeah. Uh-huh. I know. Can you tell me where your place is? Yes, that one. No, I won’t. I promise.” Antonio took another look at the map while Tommy tried to listen in on their conversation, for he did not understand what was going on at the other side of the phone. “All right,” Antonio continued. “I guess I’ll see you there then. Thanks so much and goodbye.” He hung up the phone and turned to his pal.
“So, how did it go?” Tommy asked, tapping his foot.
“Hand me the map." Antonio insisted. "I know where to go, just follow me.” He strolled along the sidewalk at a brisk pace.
“I take it you won't tell me until we get there?” He inquired, running over to catch up.
“Yep!”
“Ugh, of course...”

First Contact
Eight Thousand Years after the Glassing of Earth, Terran Descent Humanity has largely become a post-scarcity society based on consent and enjoying life. With the discovery of another ancient race beyond the "Great Gulf", events and history collide to draw the Terran Confederacy into war against an hundred million year old empire that has always won and believes it always will. With allies and enemies of multiple species, the Orion Galactic Arm Spur will be wracked by warfare the likes of which have not been seen. Cracked, harried, wounded, and damaged, Terran Descent Humanity willfully throws itself against the universe itself. "The universe hates you and will take away everything you love, laughing while it does so." - Terran belief. Told largely from the viewpoint of other species, the story is currently ongoing. It involves graphic depictions of violence, war, adult language and situations, drug use, and other mature topics.

DarkBoi69's mediocre, rushed and badly-written aventure
Follow DarkBoi69's edgy adventure as I move him through a shitty plot where he meets terribly-written characters like angry evil stupid villains and naive cute useless busty women. This story is not really an actual serious story but simply a writing exercise for me to focus on overall writing speed, forcefully insert some writing in my everyday life to increase productivity and most importantly help with turning ideas, thoughts or feelings into writing directly without feeling blocked, hopefully trying to achieve something as close as possible to writing unconsciously what i’m thinking about. I'll probably try to do something like writing as much in 30 mins as I can, nearly every-day. So far I've only done this once and it already seems like a pretty good thing to do. I don’t have anything planned and that’s probably going to be a constant for every one of these exercises, so it’ll end up being not very good (although maybe better than it has any right to be? ) and nonsensical.
