The Binary Era: Chapter 6
THE BINARY ERA
CHAPTER SIX: SAFE
A voice similar to her own responded, “It’s… cold.”
Alana and Naej’s hearts beat faster than they ever had and Alana continued, “Where are you? Are you… in space? What do you see?”
The voice came from the gem, “Snow, mountains, an ice lake… it’s beautiful. But. Cold.”
“Who all is there?”
The voice responded, “There’s a lot of us… but we’re safe. It’s safe here.”
Safe.
Whispers came from the gem as Naej and Alana's eyes met in fear, excitement, and wonder. Then the voice continued, “They said you can come too.”
“Who is… they?”
“Friends. Allies. You can come too. Close your eyes, hold the gem, and simply ask the Universe to bring you to safety.”
Alana's thoughts ran wild, but Naej spoke, “Do it. Go, Alana.”
“But the others…”
“If the gem works for you, it should work for all of us... right?”
Alana held the gem to her heart. She closed her eyes. “Universe… please. I’m suffocating here. There has to be more than the binary. There has to be a better place, a safe space… bring me there. Please.”
