That sunny Saturday morning I got up early, took a shower, a light breakfast, comfortable clothes and my hiking boots and headed to my beautiful mountain in El Avila National Park, here in Venezuela, this huge mountain that borders almost the entire capital, has several trails to walk, even a cable car, however, I prefer to visit it on foot. There is a very busy and popular trail, the preferred by most to recreate, it is not my favorite, however, this time I chose it because given the time I have not gone I am not aware of whether some routes are still available or not.
I start to climb and climb, when I reach the ranger station I rest for a while, this is where most people stay snacking and talking, I continued the march upwards, there is a clearly marked trail. I had been walking for almost 2 hours without stopping.
My physiological needs were present and a strong urge to urinate forced me to look for a place where I could do it, so I deviated from the path and took another path where there were only tree roots and was somewhat dangerous because I could fall, but my bladder was exploding and I needed to find a place alone to do my needs, After about 20 minutes I was in a place similar to a small garden, there was a circle in the middle about 4 meters in diameter, lined with quartz and flowers that I had never seen before were hiding in the weeds.
Without thinking I managed to empty my bladder and being more relaxed I decided to sit for a while at the foot of a big tree that was there, the place caused me a lot of intrigue and at the same time a little fear, so having recovered my breath, I decided to get up, however, I could not move, I was totally paralyzed, I felt that my heart was going to leave me, it was very desperate to think that I could stay like that forever, suddenly a great flash of light left me blind for a few minutes and when I could see again, there was a spaceship in the shape of a giant oyster. ..
A strange being of human-robotic appearance emerged from the spacecraftand approached me, I still could not move, it was something strange but that being did not cause me any fear, when I saw him I only felt admiration and a kind of relief, he told me that I was the chosen one of the day for having shown courage and daring, he would give mobility to my body with the condition that I pressed one of the 2 buttons of the strange little gadget he had in his hands, with my eyes I said yes, I managed to move my hand and pressed the button that said +1000.
A strange force full of light took me to the interior of the spacecraft, it had an endless number of buttons and inside it looked like a whole city, I found myself sitting in front of the controls that gave movement, the strange being sat next to me and told me not to worry that I was not going to drive that was already programmed to travel 1000 years ahead because that was the option I chose, the spacecraft was made of a material similar to diamond, It began to rotate rapidly and I could not distinguish what was outside, after a moment I felt how stopped moving and opened its doors, it was a very neat and beautiful place, there was a very vivid vegetation of intense and radiant colors, robotic children were flying through the air, all the houses were also spacecraft, some were floating in the air, others were on the ground, were coming and going.
Blet, that is the name of the strange being, told me that the planet was called Matios, in a galaxy far away from the Milky Way, that the inhabitants there were half human and half robots, due to an implant that was made to an experimental group abducted from earth many years ago, that they were programmed to live in peace and prosperity, that they were the result of many years of trial and error.
He told me that it was very common to go from planet to planet so they all had their spacecraft and that he would take me to know another planet if I wanted, I nodded, we entered the vehicle and I felt that in a short time we were in a different place, it looked like the beaches of the earth but the water was crystal clear because the sky was white, colored stones, He told me that many years ago they brought fish from Earth and other similar planets to save them from extinction, that in that galaxy the planets were inhabited by groups of species, there was the planet of what is considered domestic animals on earth, the planet of wild animals, the planet of birds.
They wanted to inhabit a planet with the biodiversity that came to inhabit the earth but that even in spite of the intelligence that prevailed and the advances they still did not have the formula for all creation to be for the welfare of all, that this was coming soon, perhaps in about 50 years. He asked me which planet I wanted to visit and I obviously said Earth.
He answered me: there were many such planets, the beings that inhabited them were very vain to believe they were the only ones in the vast universe, remember that according to the way of counting time on your Earth a thousand years have already passed, perhaps you imagine that it is endowed with high technology and exponential change but I must tell you that it became just another star, with the passage of time overpopulation, wars, pollution and other catastrophic factors led it to a totally uninhabitable place. From these sides we already knew what was happening and also that a big meteorite would hit it, we had the possibility to prevent it but that meant a great work for us and great sacrifices, we made a consensus to decide whether to save the earth or not, we concluded that it was better to let it perish, maybe you think it is something cruel but we considered that we were rather giving relief, no one would suffer during the impact, a sharp blow that ended everything, without warning. Before that, we rescued many living beings like animals and plants, almost like a Noah's ark, we did not bring any human until now, we only made experiments extracting their DNA and now our mission is to create the best race that contains a pinch of every being in the Universe, it has not been easy work because all existence remains a mystery, we still do not know where we come from nor where we are going, we experiment and believe that a supreme being experiments with us but we have not yet been able to see his face or hear his voice.
I said to him: but I don't understand, if a thousand years have already passed on Earth and now I am here, I also had a life on earth? I died on earth? When was the impact? What did my family and acquaintances think when they didn't see me anymore back then? What happened to my Hive Blog? Was I reported missing?
He tells me: a thousand years have passed, what happened makes no sense, now you are here and I will train you to learn to live here.
So I was in the spacecraft receiving the knowledge and training, maybe I will give you details of that in another opportunity, but among so many things I have understood that this spacecraft is magic and it is she who makes possible the trips in time but it cannot be abused because many catastrophes can occur in the Universe, perhaps the planets lose their orbits, however, I am risking to return for a moment just to leave all this documented.
Although I still do not really believe the whole story, I tell you that it is possible that at any moment we will cease to exist, it is said that the planet will suffer a strong impact that will finish with everything in a second, it could be tomorrow, in 15 years, 100 years, 500 years, I really do not know, even so I tell my brothers earthlings not to lose faith and to do things as best as possible, maybe such an impact will not happen but what is certain is that we are not the only ones in the Universe and that there are many things that we could never have imagined, I hope that things can change and that the earth will benefit from all the evolution that is to come. I invite you to work on the evolution of consciousness, because technological progress is inevitable and whether we like it or not, the future will be dominated by technology, it is up to us to maintain as much as possible that human side and, hopefully, it be the best side.
I went quite long narrating this fictional story, I hope I didn't bore you this time. @galenkp very kindly offered us several options to write this weekend, you can learn more about it here. You will have several options to choose from for great adventures.
