I’ve experienced the most incredible things that you can ever
imagine.
I’ve traveled across the universe to galaxies that humans
don’t even know exist. I’ve surfed the rings of Alpha Dinus in a ship of
glowing Delisium with creatures that will suck the soul from your consciousness as
soon as drink your blood.
I’ve flown through Sintius B, a red dwarf star, with nothing
more than a Star Rider ship and an environmental suit made from the skin of a Shartoz
Braverox.
I’ve been through a black hole into dimensions that shouldn’t
exist while having every atom in my body torn apart and reassembled leaving the
very essence of my lifeforce itself outside my fragile carcass of a carbon-based
lifeform.
I’ve had my thoughts dragged kicking and screaming from my
body by beings that have no physical body and exist only in time and space,
their sole purpose being to examine and quantify other forms of life, just
because they can.
I’ve been to planets where the temperature is near absolute
zero and the beings move so slowly their lifespan is measured in millions of
years. I’ve been to planets where it’s so hot, there are rivers of molten lead
and life exists just for a fleeting second or two.
I’ve seen the meteor shower of Antrinum 5 light up the sky
with all colours of the rainbow as a comet spears its course across the blood-red
sky after sunset.
I’ve heard the liquid Methane surfers of Madarf 9 call to
each other in the dead of night across an electric blue landscape with Methane
snow falling all around. Its sister planet Nadarn 6 has an atmosphere of
ammonia and the Giant Dernamad can be heard constantly screaming as if in never-ending
pain.
