From the many years past, humans have created many things, such as terraforming, and interstellar travel. The human race has also gone so far as to colonize planets previously thought to be un-colonizable. As such, we have changed areas such as Mercury and Jupiter to habilitate Human life. The biosphere is the prize of the age, used to keep inhabitants of Mercury from burning themselves to a crisp. Mercury is currently the hub of the universe since it moves 4.14 times faster than Earth (in relative time), of which everything is based off. It was originally colonized 347 years - or days depending upon how you look at it. - from current day, and only became a hub 200 years previous, but even people from Kepler 452b try to make it here.

So, I started off for what was quoted to be, ‘the most beautiful tower Christianity,’ Although it had broken grammar, the site was correct about the beauty. Open-worked pyramids of the slender tower, intricate designs on everything, and only partially destroyed. Well, even if it’s not the right place, might as well see this marvel of a building. It’s a one in two shot. What can I lose? Once I entered, I nearly had a heart attack. The inside was infinitely more pretty, and shocked me to my core. However, that was not what gave me such a scare. There were old, rotted skeletons in each pew, all positioned as if praying. They were obviously moved since some sat atop rubble, clinging to a carving of Jesus on the wall. I walked down the center, admiring each, but being very careful to avoid any live ones. There weren’t any, but better safe than sorry. On my way up to the center, where the tower of the church was, I noticed something in a skeletons neck. There was a chip in there. Like a data stick. In fact, the skeletal structure shouldn’t be able to hold itself upright, or in any such position without muscles. I poked around at its body, and found some carbon-based wires connecting each joint. Flexible, but not …show more content…
Had I been doing something in this class? A presenter, perhaps? No, since a teacher would have spoken up by now. Was I the teacher?
A bell chimed, and everyone got out of their seats to… Do something. I didn’t wait long enough to find out. I rushed out the door, bumping past students on my way to what was hopefully an exit.
As I ran, I saw something flash on my wrist. It was a fancy watch. Upon closer inspection, I saw the time. Mc-year 7412, a Tuesday-night year. Over 3000 years had passed since whatever had happened. If it had truly happened.
I reached the exit to see a world shrouded in darkness. Nothing uncommon to a night-year. The sights were drastically changed. But above that, now I had time to think. Who was I? What happened? Had I even truly left? Or had he - whoever’s body I happened to inhabit? As I questioned this, the sky lit up with a single word: Unknown.
The words stayed there for a full three seconds before disappearing into the night sky. Nobody else seemed to notice. They just continued walking with no interruption to… looking down at their hands. I attempted to peek over one of their shoulders, but they shoved me off, shouted some Keplerian profanity, and stalked off, muttering something under their
