Inferna
Let’s get one thing straight: This isn’t Hell.
Well, yeah, it looks like Hell. And sometimes we call it that. But it isn’t “Hell”.
Let me explain. Everyone dies. Pretty obvious. And when you die, you have a choice of your afterlife.
All the good, pure, incredibly boring souls choose Oasis, a paradise where nothing ever changes and nothing you do matters. Enjoy your eternal reward, losers.
All the interesting people choose Inferna. Which is not Hell. I promise.
Inferna is more like a second life. We’ve got gamblers and addicts and murderers, movie stars and prostitutes and one guy who looks suspiciously like the pope from a hundred years ago. There are no consequences here. You can’t kill anyone, so stabbing someone is perfectly fine. You can’t lose your life savings and end up homeless and destitute, because belongings don’t matter. Your addiction isn’t a problem, since you’re not gong to die and neither is anyone else. Sin isn’t real, not in Inferna.
Awesome, right?
Anyway, once you end up in Inferna, you lose your old name. Instead, you becoming an “imprint” of the last thing you saw or heard before you died. Its not that cut and dry, but that’s the basics of it.
For example, my friend Dragonfly drowned in some lake in the fifties. Technically, the last thing she saw was the water, but the image she latched on to was the dragonfly buzzing above the surface. Now she’s blue, and she has cool wings and stuff. And Kiss was stabbed to death at a ball sometime in the 1300s, where the last thing she heard was the music at the party. But she was focused on the lips of the guy who stabbed her, who had kissed her moments before while they were dancing.
You’re going to love it here, trust me. Sure, it takes some getting used to, the whole “morals don’t matter” thing, but once you do, this is way more of a paradise than whatever those guys are doing up there. You’ve got plans to make, ambitions to pursue, and an eternity to spend on whatever you want! And fear is a thing of the past, since you can’t die.
Enjoy your time in Inferna. Just, don’t call it Hell. Those guys in Oasis are annoying enough without the superiority complex.
Dream
In the dream, thousands of moons were there like stars and all were going around me rather than the sun. I had become Saturn. I was trying to catch moons. Sun was observing me and the moons with awe. He was stunned to see this rare scene in the universe. I was enjoying the moons going around me. Sun was envying. But I was enjoying and was telling,
If you envy what can I do? By envying if you put off the candle of mine, your face only becomes dull.
Like this I went around myself with moons, only to fall down from the cot.
Rocky world
A different world, naturally. We’re talking 3.64ms^-2 gravity(Rather low), a nearly pure stone world, with the entirety of its heat coming from its centre as it has no sun. Since it is rather small and not particularly dense, this heat will probably only last a couple thousand more years, as the planet itself hurtles along through the void that is space.
This world would be kind of boring without life though, right? Well lucky us, there is life. but it is nothing like life on our planet.
There are different species of stone-like-creatures, that roll around over the planet. They slowly absorb the land they end up on for sustenance, and to grow, while excreting the sediment they ate that they don’t want.
These creatures randomly mutate within themselves, changing their existence on a fundamental level. If a change works, it lives, but if a change doesn't work, those mutations die off, and the rest continue.
Normally, this would result in large cancer rates, but for this race, the cancer cells are just more stones, so they get excreted instead. This is also how they all multiply.
Over time, one rock might end up absorbing nearly the entire world without dying due to different causes, resulting in the world being a giant lifeform for a while. This doesn't last long though, because as they get bigger, cancerous cells become more common, resulting in it excreting so much body mass, it can't be counted as the world itself anymore.
Oh, and the energy for this life and everything else comes from the magma below. Unfortunately, none of the life so far has managed to utilise it as anything more than a heat source, unlike what plants did with our sun.
This is the general layout of that small world, a world that periodically becomes a large lifeform, and a world doomed to die in a few thousand years. Even if some random intelligent life form was to come across it, they probably wouldn't even consider it to be alive. But there is no denying its existence, as a world of life, a world that could result in some amazing things, if it lasts long enough.

EverLand
Welcome to Everland! I would ask you what brought you here, but it’s not every day you get sucked down a whirlpool and land in another dimension!
Now, you’ll have to say here- there’s now way back to this place you call earth.
Now, as Everlynn, Queen Everlynn to you, I will tell you everything you need to know to stay here!
First, the laws. Laws are very important. Everyone eight and up will be treated the same way, when breaking laws. The first law is no killing- the most important law. So, don’t kill people. Plants are okay, but you need a lisence for a mere animal- we don’t want people getting carried away, or ‘missing.’ For breaking this law, you will be imprisoned for twenty years.
Now, no stealing either. If you would like to borrow something from an average person, you must make a trade to prevent theivery. At public borrowing places; such as Book-Buildings, you must pay a Quiple (equivilant to one American dollar, and thirteen American cents, or one Euro) for every day you keep it longer than a week. The sentance for stealing is a mere three years.
There are rules, too. The’re like minature laws- they keep this Queendom upright, but aren’t as inforced as the laws. You have three chances, with rules. After you break rules three times, your locked up for eight months. Your rule breaking starts counting the day you turn ten.
The rules are: kindness, dress code, lights out, and food.
The first rule, kindness is simple. If at least three different witnesses, and one victum report that you have been rude to one specific person four times in a single month, you get a strike. Now, dress code. No neon colors aloud, AT ALL. If as many as three people see you wearing neon, prepare for a strike. Of course, those ‘deamed worthy’ are aloud to wear neon shoelaces, but nothing more. As for ‘lights out’ you must have all lights and music turned of by ten P.M., unless I, the queen state a later time for that specific night. You maynot tearn them back on untill 5 A.M. Now, food. Only one surving of baked good, candy, or other treat are aloud in one day without me declaring a ‘party day’. Only those ‘deamed worthy’ may chew gum.
Now, the land, and the towns within the land!
Our land is a perfect circle, and it is 112,544 sqaure miles. The north is made of praries, hills, and rivers. The majority of this land is wild, but there is a large town called Acrees. Fifty homes, one hundred and thirty people, fourteen stores, five schools, five churches, and two trading centers. This town is a happy place, full of playing children, and enough work for everyone. Theres another civilization in the north, a small village. It’s called Prarie Gardens. Full of small gardeners, there are eighteen houses, and thirty-two people. There are three trading centers, two stores, and one half acre of land that holds the Elementry, Junior High, and High School. Here you know all your neighbors, and have plenty of downtime for music, reading, and writing.
Now, the east. The east is the smallest section of Everland, and it is rocky territory. The only places of shelter are small cracks in the rocks, and theres not enough food or water to sustain an actaul civilization. Most people who live there go to be alone.
The south is full of forests. A small clearing in the woods creates a home for the Freiimwald Tribe, a small tribe of eighteen people. There are five woven bark homes, one log building for storage, one log cabin for a common room, and one log cabin as a cafeteria. This tribe strives to be free frome technolagy, and farming. They work together to hunt and gather. There is a large town in the most majestic forest in our Kingdom, Merveille Trees, where the greenery is sparse. This town is called Belleville, and Belleville has a population of two hundred and one. There are forty-seven houses, fifteen stores, two trading centers, five churches, and seven schools. This is the place of natural beauty, and those who apriciate it- while being the most advanced in technolagy out of all the towns.
The west... I won't waste much time on those rural lands. It's all farms- that's why it's called Agri et Praedia. There isn't much out there; only farms, barns, livestock, feilds, and around thirty-nine people.
Now the center... well, it's sure something! Theres schools, and churches galore! This town, the Festland, has twenty-seven shops, twenty-two of them with small apartments above. There are hotels, parks, and a marvelous zoo! Theres a fair in autom, a carnival in spring, and a circous in summer! This is the place for workaholics, social butterflies, and everyone who enjoys festivities! The current population of the Festland is about two hundred and forty-five.
In the center of the center, is the EverWalls, or my castle...
(2 hourse later)
Come stay in the Bow Hotel, and we'll continue this tomorrow!
Happy town
once upon a time there was a beautiful town. all the people who lived there was happy. rain never hit the town just the river nearby. flowers blossemed, snow never came, it was a cool 70 degrees farinheight at all times. Man that would have been a nice town with the perfect name right. Yeah Happy Town is anything but whats described above. Spring and fall dont exist here. it goes from 100 to -20 degrees in a hour. the river is controlled by the government and everyone is limited on how much water they get. most houses are crumbling down and dont have heat or ac. the whole town is locked in and if they even get wind of you wishing you could escape they publicly burn you to set an example. food is comtrolled by the government along with electicity. you go to school till you are ten. Every year the children that turn 10 have to take a teest that determines their whole future. how you score determines your job and what clothes you get to wear. This town gets no outside help because the barricade is a giant screen that makes it look like theres a 100 foot wide crater that stretches the length of the town. no one has ever escaped and no one ever will...
