Zzzzzzzzzzzum!

“WOO-HOOOOO!—”

(There is movement all around and I am plastered so close to the passenger window that it feels like we are one)

“THIS THING IS GOING SO FAST! HAHAHA! WOOOO!”

The adrenaline is making my heart beat faster and faster.
(Ba-bump. Ba-bump.)

Beside me, I feel the presence of another, sat peaceful behind the wheel. I don’t turn to look that way, nor can: the motion is so strong that the wind straps me down into the chair and folds me on my side until my face is pressed tight against the passenger window and I am unable to move.

(Ba-bump. BA-BUMP!)

The only things I see in front of me are the outer edge of this red car, and the daylight outside.

All shapes past the window morph into indecipherable irregular white lines, everything gets lost in motion blur (BA-BUMP! BA-BUMP! BA-BUMP! BA-BUMP!), and then…

F-THUM. (CRASH)

Zzzzzzzzzz-up!—in less than half a blink, I am pulled and zoomed out to where I stand now: far above planet Earth, hovering right up above it.

“HAHAHA—DID YOU SEE THAT!?!” I burst out in all my excitement. “THAT WAS SO COOL! AGAIN! I WANNA DO IT AGAIN!” I buzz, still looking down at the big blue planet, and only after turn to the right.

There, beside me, a black purple and blue nebula-like cloud was hovering, same size as I. We knew each other.

It turned around and began to move. I followed closely behind and admired my own white and gold nebula-like form while it was led by my partner, and until we reached an immense glowing golden sphere.

“Woah,”— I walked inside it; already familiar with it, yet still taken over by seeing it.

Inside the sphere was a small partition, and everywhere upwards and around there were buzzing bubbles of this…white and gold, glowing, glittering electricity that was bright, calm, alive, and comforting. Despite me being there, gazing at this…storage(?), and it holding all of these bubbles, it felt as though it wouldn’t miss anything had I not come, and wouldn’t miss either if an orb were to be taken off from one of the stems.

I am back suspended over planet Earth again. I don’t have the golden sparkle nebula-like colors from before, and instead rock the same black and purple I saw earlier on my companion.

As I hover, pins appear in different locations on the map (there must have been seven or eight of them), and I do a quick round to look at each. By doing so, I know exactly what I am getting into, as every pin makes a small, rectangular bar pop up right beside it that is filled in with different ratios of the same black and bright sparkling white colors. Each bar is like a timeline, and I can see each stripe of black that divides the gold, as well as how thin or thick each is.

Some of the options before me have chunks of gold in the beginning, and only a few other bits of it threaded about a third or to halfway way through, with the rest ending mostly black. Another I see is almost entirely black, with only the thinnest bits of gold grouped close together in the sequence about a quarter of the way through (it’s all black before and after that).

“Oh?”

I didn’t have to think about this one. When my eyes hovered to that one pin, the bar showed me something I have never seen before. The first tenth of it was black, followed by a stretch of gold, then another smaller stretch of black, and the sequence continued entirely with the white and gold sparkling glow, filling the rest of the bar and then stretching far outside of it, to infinitely long lengths. So I pick that one.

“BUT!—” I say, signaling a halt, “I want to remember this time.”

“Fine…but just this bit.”

I hear the words end and I am BLASTED downwards,
falling,
falliNG..
FALLING…
FAAAAAAAAAAA—
