The Silver Universe.
"FOR THE PENGUIN." when I opened my eyes that morning. I felt it, in the angst on the drive it hung over me like a ghost. I was Twenty Six With a Good Job Yet, Here I am At the end of my career that Honestly I truly wanted. I was asking for freedom but couldn't find it.
I worked through the day only to face my own worst case scenario. it Stopped me for a while but I still feel confused? So, don't show up for work on Monday like... what do I do with my life now?
I looked around at the world from my own eyes. what do I need, Well nothing? what do I want, hell I want everything! I noticed an Ad playing on a holovid that took my attention. It was a pathetically sad Attemp. I Turned To Walk Into the shop and Saw The owner It looked at me with its Dead empty eyes. It seems they can't Replicate the same look of a soul in the eyes of an A.I Droid.
"How may I help you?"
I Scoffed as I checked my account on My Phone last check was issued today, it was meager and spent on bills already. I looked at the Droid in Disbelief as Insignificant thoughts went through my head. I was broke with just forty-five credits. this is it, I Lost completely This Time.
" May I suggest you Try Our Raffel? If You are Down You May Just Get Luck... Luc... Lucckieee."
The A.I Droid Stuttered as His Eyes Gleamed With A certain Glint That Wasn't exactly Human!
" Let Me Tell You Human Welcome To The New Universe. One Made in perfect Replication To Our Now Golden Universe, You can Be One of the Few AlPha Tessss...testers. Just Be Over Joyed For You Have Been Accepted By The Predecessors as one Of their Guinea.... I Mean one Of Their Chosen."
The Droid Flicked It's Head Sideways Before Falling To the Floor The People around The Store Stopped and Began To Look at Us. I Looked around But no one else Seems To Have Seen What I saw!? I Left the Store With a headache Walking To My House The City Seemed so Large, Ominous, and yet Void!
It was Wierd I Remembered that I was Going Home The Streets Were Broken down. I heard Screams And Such But Nothing registered ASAP. The World Was Like Static I made it to my Apartment Somehow it was a Large Complex Nothing Felt Off Beside The Feeling of Shaking.
I Felt Weightless as I went Into my apartment and saw some thing was Not Right My Bed was Missing and In its Place Was a large Silver Pod.
It Looked Like a Coffin it was Humming, Chiming And I'm Absorbed in that Tone That Damn hum Called to me. I Crawled Over To It as the Weightless feeling Began To Spin the Room. Sealing the Deal The Top Of the Pod Reacted to my Hands.
The Large Pods Top Disappeared As If the Metal lid Dissolved Like water. As I Lifted Myself Too quickly My Stomach Emptied and The Weightlessness rolled me over. I Fell Asleep Landing in a soft warm Feeling I felt The World Wash away.
The Dream Was Hot Like actual Heat, The Feeling of Overwhelming slowly faded. I felt The Colors Passing me Blue Lit the Void With a Soothing Yet Sad Feeling. I was Asked a question that I wasn't sure how to answer. the blur accepted my answer, Yet I never knew I gave one.
Pink Filled The Void With Warm Heartedness And Joy Like a Pair Of wings. That Seemed To Appeal to the Question that was Asked as The Next Color Was Black. that As Followed By Green, Red, Black again, Orange, Yellow, And The Last Was Grey.
Each Color Present Came a question That I never truly answered but Fuck It I Went With It Until the Void Filled Until It was Bright White. A Voice Came Into My Consciousness It was Not soothing Very Mechanical, Rough, Rugged, and Metallic

His Voice Sharpened before It Went Quite, A Bubbling Sound Apeared Inside my Head.
Another Voice That Sounded Melodic
