Chapter 6 - Techno Town

We walked on for what seemed like years. Mozart kept asking me questions about how I got here and what it felt like to survive that high fall. "It was really painful and without that recycle bin I would have probably never made it out alive", I said, grateful for my luck. The entire time I kept looking around at my surroundings. It wasn't the same terrain anymore. It turned into a desert plain filled with cacti. It gave me nostalgic feelings and once I was so sure that I saw a T-Rex jumping over the cacti. "You get a lot of hallucinations in this place", Mozart said as I told him what I saw.

The desert continued for a long time and at one point I started to question myself for even following a fox I had just met. There was no other hope and I had to get out of this world in time. So, I walked on. "Where are we going", I asked after a few minutes. "A long hike to the Circuit Kingdom is treacherous, and for that, we have to go through difficult regions which won't be easy. So we'll need a few items to keep ourselves fit for the journey. I also know a couple of friends of mine who will help us in this journey. So, for this we're going to a little place called Techno Town", Mozart replied. I was about to reply when suddenly I noticed a faint and tall building in the distance. It looked as if it reached out beyond the clouds. It was a thin building made of blue windows and a black wall. "That's the Software Skyscraper. The place where all the commoners of this realm meet together. It's the main heart of the entire digital world and it has a tall antenna that connects all the other parts. It's in the exact center of Techno Town which is where we're headed", Mozart informed. It was around 5 miles away from us. I became relieved. I could finally get some rest and some food when we reached Techno Town.

After a long walk, we finally reached Techno Town. I could see the difference in terrain as we reached the place. The floor was now supported with concrete and there were pathways and roads all around us. The buildings weren't like the normal ones usually seen back home in the real world. They were full of neon lights and had really peculiar shapes. I squinted my eyes are read a few of the boards seen on some of the buildings. "Game Garden, Social Media Mansion, Google Gate, Computer Court, Logo Land, Binary Banquet Hall..." I read out to myself. "Binary Banquet Hall. That's where we're headed. It's a popular junction where all the citizens of Techno Town meet to get some food, have a conversation and simply have a fun time", Mozart explained.

As we entered the golden gates of the Banquet hall, we stepped into a large hallway. It was adorned with special photo frames and some documents explaining the milestones of computer development. In the middle of it all, there was a large, decorated photo frame of 'Charles Babbage' the father of computers. "Come on Sam. Here is the main part of the banquet hall", he said, pointing to another large door labeled 'the Binary Banquet Hall'.
