The Melted Dreams of Vais Ipr

A short story from The City in Space

Undetermined in space, Pent Star held the universe and plagued forth the nectar transient of Eon Graver. A new world was created from Eon Graver’s reversed Energy-Ex (or, Life-Ex). In being, the first dot men of its kind was Vais Ipr. He stood tall in the magical fields of copper trees. He yawned and surveyed the ethereal night sky, looking intelligently at the jumping sky frogs in the clouds. “Wonderment,” he spoke first breath. He bent down and touched a copper tree, slowly caressing the cool brittle fungus. Then, he pulled out a copper tree and ate it. “Mmm,” Vais Ipr said. “I can feel its nutrients.”

Vair Ipr, was said, to be cool galactic steel, with a strong body and long arms. He was first welcomed in Life-Ex, which held him in nectar transient, sourcing him with jet vision (the highest countenance in Pent Star). Soft-green halo-like dust could be seen (if closely inspected) emanating from the neck. He was known as the first cool galactic.

Slowly from behind, Ea Worm came forth and welcomed Vais Ipr upon the planet. Vais Ipr looked queerly upon the flesh-thing, wondering about the small amounts of Life-Ex leeching from its neck (Vais Ipr had good vision), and how an Eathelean Worm was only second coming into the juggernaut plains of life. They stood for a moment, and in countenance, each ate upon a copper tree. They told Eon Graver stories about Pent Star. In nectar countenance, they became best friends.

“At first, I was scared because I could not feel Life-Ex,” Ea Worm said, scratching the side of its neck.

“At calm, always remember to breathe. Be ready. Avoid Eon Graver and look only nectar transient in Pent Star, cool?” Vais Ipr said. He sadly knew that he had a lot to teach to his new friend.

“Cool, but I might still be hungry,” Ea Worm said and looked nervously upon Vais Ipr for help.

Vais Ipr smiled and nodded down at the copper trees.

“Cool! I will make my living!” Ea Worm cried in triumph and lowered himself sex star-like, and entered the ground. Moments later, the ground turned and quaked in great violence. Then, the ground swallowed the first dot men. Without nectar transient, Vais Ipr was lowered deep into the earth.

“Wait! Not fast, say it!” Vais Ipr shouted but was overtaken by the falling world. Slinging rocks multiplied and drilled into the organ-wells of Vais Ipr’s body. He felt sick. He tried to fire his rocket arms, but could not find tactical support. He tried to block the rocks from hitting his neck, but the unsteady income of gravity made this impossible. Before losing too much Life-Ex, Vais Ipr closed his eyes and used jet vision to inverse the underworld, thus, crashing him back upon the surface of the planet. Vair Ipr stood, still shaking, and searched for his friend. He found Ea Worm just nectars away, floating on a lava crystal.

“Cool, but what happened, chief?” Ea Worm said, surveying the weird suspension of his transparent body.

Weirdly then, a body of inversed rocks pronounced forth from the sky, momentarily showering their vision.

“Wait. Where did you go?” Vais Ipr said, afraid to use jet vision again. Am I not ready for this world and the wonderment it shall bring us? Am I not nectar transient in Pent Star?

“What?” Ea Worm said, looking around for the cool source of Vais Ipr’s tongue.

“Oh!” Vais Ipr said, finally regaining a technology of strength. He reached out and carefully pulled Ea Worm from the lava crystal. Seconds later, the crystal exploded due to the value of Ea Worm’s initial contact.

“Cool! Close one, chief!”

“Do not ever go deeper like this again,” Vais Ipr warned with nectar transient beacons in his eyes. He saw the despair in his young friend’s countenance, so he revoked the thought vision. “Did you at least fill yourself in abundant nutrients?”

“Yes! I am so full!” Ea Worm cried in glory, then, noticed he was rejecting wake due to his full belly.

“We must find shelter for the night,” Vais Ipr said. “We must regain our strength. Nectar transient is upon us. Harding. I can feel it.”

“I am not tired!” Ea Worm said in countenance, trying to impress his friend. “I will wait!”

“No, we will go.”

They walked nectar transient into the cool planet labyrinth. It seemed a vast and dangerous land, but Vair Ipr felt secured with his jet vision and new transmogrified friend.

Finally, they came upon a sacred almer tree, which stood mighty into the galactic green hum of the night. Jumping sky frogs fell asleep in the sky—their dreaming minds caused a dramatic shower of nectar in the air above. Vair Ipr felt good upon his countenance. He looked nectar transient upon his good friend and smiled.

“Here, we will be alright. We will be visions in forever, and nothing will hurt us. My friend, all is nectar transient in Pent Star.”

“Cool! Goodnight!” said the Eathelean Worm, thus, latching himself upon the sacred almer tree.

“Goodnight, my friend,” said the melted dreams of Vais Ipr.

Soon, the cool creamy moons became visible, and it was time for sleep.
