The Sphere Field - Adriana Alarco de Zadra

The terror I feel is making my cells dissolve. They are becoming increasingly thin and transparent. I must find a place where to take refuge. I’m feeling so sick that if someone tells me I’m dead I wouldn’t be surprised.

There is less territory on Earth and is still diminishing as the storms ravish the territory. The humans are desperately looking for places to survive, on ships that float, fly or go underwater. That is how they found refuge in this area of the depths. I’m not saying that they will become like us, harmonic and simple. I don’t have that inner hope, but they probably will imitate our customs as soon as the Earth’s surface becomes smaller… and smaller. The Sphere Field has limits and they cannot survive under water without their suits that cover, protect and help them think, and, speaking the truth, which are more capable than themselves. 

As I figured, chaos and devastation starts already in the area. There is little space for so many of them so they break each others’ suits, the only thing that covers and protects them, with sharp knives. The red fluid they carry inside flows out in jets and they bite each other with fury and rage. They want to survive with the virtues of the others of their same race. This is how they will think the same thoughts; they will grow with their same genes; they shall fulfill with their same happiness. 

The fierce capacity of human beings who are fighting for their lives is unprecedented and takes them all on the same track. Some disappear to feed the other ones. 

There is nothing new under water.

Flying as Birds - Adriana Alarco de Zadra

In Wonderland the character was given a top hat. He put it on without fear and decided to fly, maybe it was magical and, anyway, it formed part of a story. He noted that the energy of the hat on his head pushed him up to higher places, over the mountains, towards dangerous, abrupt places. Looking down from the perspective of the birds, he did not feel the wind between his fingers or on his face, nor did he feel afraid of the heights. It was wonderful!
When Wright took off the hat he was still sitting on the couch
"Congratulations!", cried his brother, "you’ve invented a new way to travel!"

Eden - Adriana Alarco de Zadra

Eve was the first woman in time. She was surrounded by a bluish light that made her glow. She seemed seductive, captivating and fascinating to her partner.
"I’m late, I’m late, I have to go", he repeated.
"Please stay, nobody can force you to work, to study, to prune or to do any other thing that you are doing in this charming garden".
"I don’t want to", he prayed with a small voice, increasingly weaker.
"And I’m telling you that if you don’t do it right now, you won’t see me anymore…"
And Pinocchio ate the apple.

Alien dimension - Adriana Alarco de Zadra

From Mars, the agents are trying to communicate with the passengers of a ship with pre-planned routes. But it is useless, nobody answers. 

They do not dare to assume that it has fallen into a black hole of antimatter space or that it has stopped somewhere not planned for in the route. No pilot in his sane mind disobeys instructions of the interplanetary agency because it would be an inconceivable and suicidal plan as well as unprecedented. 

While searching for the lost ship with radars, magnetic waves and telescopes, imperceptible under the light of the multiple moons, a ship approaches to the planet. The agents discover it because of the changing atmosphere as it halts and lands on the arid and volcanic surface. It is covered by a layer of volatile matter which has enveloped it in space during its flight. The ship has traveled brimming with unusual movement: inside, voracious larvae and worms fertilize and multiply. 

As a flying threat in an artifact that has landed without guide or command, the unknown organisms feed on organic and inorganic material to transform afterwards into monstrous beetles eaters of everything around, even if it comes from the black hole in an alien dimension. 

Under the terrified eye behind the telescope, the ship will soon disappear gobbled up by the fierce jaws. Then, when there will be no more on which to feed, the devouring jaws will discover afar the air base with its occupants who follow their process through incredibly powerful lenses. And that will be the end.
