Certainly, her restful sleep was not entirely due to the profound physical exhaustion from the lift off to space. Rather, after her consciousness roamed amongst the stars, she gained a fresh perspective that allowed her to rest from the burden of her sorrows for the first time in many years.…

sat there for 88 days. Days felt like years, and 88 years is a very long time. Finally, it was time for Rittihuca to Spring from her room and inform her friends of what they have to do.

It is the thing that makes us so powerful, but it will soon be the thing that will destroy us. It was only 1,022 years ago when there were real people that lived on this earth.
