Something was surrounding her, holding her down. She didn’t know what. In fact, she didn’t even know who or where she was. She struggled, shoving against the invisible force holding her in place. It was becoming hard to breath, and instinctively, she knew that if she did not struggle, she would die. Alas, after what seemed like hours trapped in the darkness, she broke free.
Drifting, unsure of how to move, blinded by the vast array of new information assaulting her many senses, she was lost in this broad new world before her. What was this? Where was she? What was she? What was this feeling that everything was… wrong? It felt poisonous. It felt painful, breathing made her feel as though she was choking. She was still unsure of how to use her body and how to move, but at least she was getting a hang on seeing and sensing. She felt lost. She felt unsure of herself and her existence. She was alone. It was painful to be alone. It was scary to be so unsure. What was going on? Why was she here? So many questions but there was nothing but the feeling she was slowly being poisoned to death as she struggled to understand herself.
Then, she noticed him. Drifting before her, A giant. A monster. She was unsure what it was, but deep down she knew, It was her creator. She then felt its order blare through her head:
“Move”
It was a deep and commanding feeling. She was unsure how even she felt the command. With that one word it was as though someone had spent years teaching her to move. She was free. She was no longer trapped. As she danced around, Finally with a purpose. Finally understanding her place. She was no longer lost, there was someone to guide her. As she moved, she noticed others moving. They looked strange. She did not understand them or what they were. She then looked at herself and noticed, she was one of them. They must be her sisters, she thought. She didn’t know how to communicate with them, she noticed. She felt trapped within herself.
After a few hours of learning to move, her creator gave her more commands. Teaching her to feel, teaching her new ways to see the world. She was happy. With every passing second the world opened up for her. So much to experience, so much to do! She was so glad to have been created. If only she could express these feelings to her sisters, if only she could thank her creator.
Suddenly, in the distance, she saw something else moving. They were much smaller than her, Drifting slowly through the skies. Like floating messed up triangles perhaps? She was still unsure what things were. Everything was so new she had nothing really to compare them to. “catch” her creator ordered. With a start, all of her sisters burst towards the floating messed up triangles. So fast were they that she felt herself loose her balance and it took herself a minute to get after the floating messed up triangles. She hoped her creator wouldn’t be disappointed in her. She felt so horrible as a very intense fear overtook her. She didn’t want to disappoint him. She didn’t want to be left alone and lost.
Fast! She thought as she took after the floating messed up triangles. Even when she got close enough to try grabbing them, they struggled and seemed to slip away. She felt her fear start to dissipate as she noticed her sisters struggling as well. It was so much fun! She felt like thrashing about with joy, she couldn’t help but open her mouth and show her teeth. Why did this feeling make her do that? She wondered. It was messing up her ability to chase the triangles, but it felt so good she couldn’t help but do it. Finally, she had successfully caught one. It was about half the size of the appendage she used to grab it. She was still unsure about her own body, but it felt tiny in comparison to her. How did it move so fast? She wondered. She could not see her creator, but she instinctively knew which way to go. She tried to incorporate the movement techniques of the triangle into her own movement method as she returned to her creator. She felt jubilant as she noticed she was moving faster than her sisters. Perhaps this was why her creator had ordered this? So many wonders new feelings and things he was showing her!! She began to feel even more devoted to him. She defiantly would show him her thanks.

“Eat” He commanded her. And she understood. It was a strange sensation. She nearly chocked when she forgot to chew. If it hadn’t tried thrashing itself out, it might have remained stuck. But after consuming it, it seemed to take a place inside her. She was unsure what this strange feeling was, but it felt right. It seemed to give her energy. Perhaps she should eat more?
“Follow” Her creator commanded. And so she did. Until eventually, they reached a point where a great floating thing seemed to hang. It was different than the soft ground, for it was hard. It was also different than the solid things on the ground that hurt when you ran into them, it was much more smooth. It also had some weird spinning things attached to it. They were really tossing the area about, making it hard to stay in one place. She felt the spinning things pulling her.
“Climb” He commanded. She really appreciated his commands. Without his guidance she would be lost, she thought, as she approached the floating thing. She at first attempted to pull herself up, but to no avail. It was a slippery surface. She thought maybe she could just float to the top, and go over, but something amazing happened! The surroundings that were holding her in place, that she used to move, were not there! It was like, there was nothing! The great floating thing was actually floating in this nothingness, only a bit of it was in her territory, the place she could move. She then noticed one of her sisters had figured it out! By attaching her lower part to the floating smooth thing that was in the water, and then crawling up it and out into the nothingness!
It was scary to be in the nothingness. She felt that if she messed up her crawling, she might fall forever, unable to move in the nothingness. Indeed, a few of her sisters did fall, but they fell back into the safe place where they could move. It was also hard to breath in the nothingness. Even harder than down in the safe place. It felt very grainy? Like there was nothing to smoothen her breathing? She was still unsure. Alas, after much climbing, she reached the top and pulled herself unto the floating thing. On the surface of it, there were many new creatures running about. How exiting! What were these things? They were making a loud noise. It was like screeching. It was unpleasant to here. Then she noticed! There was a pattern to the screeching! They were able to communicate! Maybe she could use this screeching to tell her sisters how much fun she was having? Maybe she could thank her creator? She was so happy! As she watched these weird things scurry about, still many screeching, and making weird motions, she heard a new command from her creator.
She looked about for him, but he was nowhere to be seen. She then noticed that he had stayed in the safe place!! Perhaps this was a test? She didn’t want to fail his test. As she approached one of the screechy things, she wondered how he was communicating to her. He wasn’t using a screech or sound like these things were. What was it? She was so happy to have all these things to explore! As she reached her hand out twards the screechy thing, she thought about her time up till now, it was truly wonderful. This must be the greatest existence there ever was. She wondered if these screechy things had a creator? Their creator must not be as good as hers she thought, for they looked so lost and unhappy. She was unsure how to carry out her creators commands this time, but she didn’t want to disappoint him. Perhaps like with the triangle, she should break it? As she began to beat it against the surface of the smooth thing, she felt glee. She was so glad she had been created, she was so thankful to her creator, she was so happy she had her sisters, existing was great! She jubilantly carried out her creators order. It was a nice simple order. Truly, all his orders were. It made things easy to understand and made learning fun. All she had to do was kill the screechy things! Humans, her creator had called them.
