Maisy WilkinsonPublished 4 years ago in FuturismWhat is the Alien Agenda?
The alien agenda is to watch our development as a species from afar until we drop the bomb again since they have intervened in nuclear testing a few times. Star Visitors mean to quarantine us until we grow up a bit and become a less violent race. They really do have a non-interference policy although Star Trek was created to give humans a vision of a possible future. Gene Roddenberry has been rumored to meet an alien on one occasion. I've always been a seeker of information about aliens, because I find myself interested in the concept. If the truth were to be told, I have more credits to take out a Bachelor's, which could eventually turn into an MA in anthropology/archaeology. I want this to become a scientist who can help acclimate people on Earth to the reality of the Star Visitors.

Culture SlatePublished 4 years ago in FuturismWhat's On The Other Side Of The Raindrop
What’s on the other side of the Raindrop When I was about 10 or 11 years old and in 5th grade we were learning about molecules at school. What they looked like and how they worked. The teacher showed us models of the nucleus surrounded by the orbiting atoms and told us that everything on Earth was made up of these teeny tiny bits that we couldn’t even see. The idea really caught my attention. It’s probably the first experience I’ve had of actually contemplating something. I have a very clear memory of standing in the produce section of the grocery store with my mother one day and thinking about whether the oranges were actually tiny galaxies and if “people” lived there, to them we were great awesome god-like creatures. I thought of the tiny bits of pulp. Were they oceans or other even tinier universes? What would it be like to be that small? Then I began to think about our universe. Maybe we were a miniscule part of some other being’s orange. I remember feeling at the time that it probably went both ways, from vastly tiny to unimaginably huge. The idea of never-ending was there but the imagining of it was hard, though I still kept turning it over and over in my mind. That night as I lay in bed I started to rub small circles on one spot of my bedroom wall thinking about all the little molecules I must be rubbing off and wondering how long it would take me to get through the wall. Then I realized that if all things on Earth were made of those little bits then I was also wearing away my finger. I quickly stopped rubbing.

Thia's village was located right in the middle of Sildëyuir. It was a very majestic and dense forest but Thia had wandered the woods so many times she knew how to manipulate it. She was enjoying her long walk to nowhere when she reached the edge of her village. Normally she walked in the forest during twilight, but the sky was still pitch black. She looked around in wonder at the large, silver trunked trees that now had phosphorescent fungus glowing up and down the trunks of them. A pack of silver deer ran across her path and glowing foot-long emerald and sapphire dragonflies buzzed around her. The grass lit up with every step she took. Everything seemed to be humming with magical energy.
