Gaia's Tragedy, 2

F.

Still a story post, move on if you dislike this style of writing.

---
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere in space...

The trio continues on with their adventure to the Messier Galaxy... What surprises will spook them in their journey?

As Nemesis slowly exits the Sol System, the ship transitions to its hyperjump phase, jumping towards a bright star, named Jumino. Found by an cosmologist in 2050, it would be one of the key experiment zone for humankind...

The construction of a Dyson Sphere.

"And if you look towards your left, you will see a big pile of mess leftover by the E.E.C.C, or the Experimental Energy Collection Corp."

"The disaster of the Dyson Sphere. Legend says that-"

"Now Larry, don't you dare bring up your 'beast of the abyss' myth again. This is humankind first attempt to construct something as large as the Sun. It's perfectly normal to make mistakes... Don't you think so too, Miss Gaia?"

Gaia stares at the ruins of the Dyson Sphere. It reminds her of ... Something inconspicuous.

"Gaia?"

"What? Oh, sorry. Was just thinking about something. Yeah, it would be absurd that the mythical beast of the abyss would come all the way here just to destroy something. Hell, there isn't even a black hole here."

"See Larry, no one else buys your stories."

As the ship slowly manoeuvres away from the bits of ruins of the Dyson Sphere, Larry notices something behind the Dyson Sphere. Another ship, bearing the logo of Kulstar, a prominent pirate group from the area, attacking another ship bearing the mark of the Federation.

"Stanley, there is some kind of battle here." Larry gestures towards the lights emitted from laser beams from both ships.

"Pirates fighting a Federation cruiser. Pfft, they stand no chance."

"The cruiser is preparing to jump away, Captain."

"Wait, what?"

"That's the best god damn space pirate I have ever seen. Steer the ship around, we're going to assist. Signal the cruiser."

But before anyone could do what they were told, a signal hijacks the command of the ship, halting its movements. The main projector in the ship projects a message from the leader of the Kulstar, Kube.

"This does not require your intervention. Run, while you still have  the chance to do so."

Writing a 10 word story

Welcome back folks. Sadly, it seems that third time isn't a charm. Oh well, back to basics. Anyway, I hope you had a good week. I'm sure many of you had written essays throughout your lifetime. Whether its an essay for school which is usually 200 ~ 400 words long, a story (length may vary) or even a thesis paper (thousands). Depending on your age and level of English education of course. Personal record, 13 thousand words in a story named Chrono Switch . I assume you already read the title and hence clicked on this post for... actually why did you clicked on this post? Either way, we were instructed to write a ten word story, with the word "spooky" being mandatory in the story. And with Halloween coming around the corner, I can see why they picked that specific word. I too, enjoy writing weird story that are outfitted with details and character development. So writing a ten word story is quite an interesting challenge. Coming up with something with a broad theme...

The Philosophy of Tetris

"I am the man who arranges the blocks, that continue to fall from up above..." I believe most of you of you know what Tetris is. Most of you are likely to have played it, or at least heard about it. Be it the charming 8-bit music, the satisfying beep after a line is completed, or just the blocks that fall into place one by one, filling the gaps, I"m sure that we all can agree upon the fact that Tetris is one of the best classic game we have ever played. While I was revisiting the game, trying to break another player's high score, I realize that, even in a simple game such as Tetris, which has the main goal of trying to get the best score you can through stacking blocks and aligning them, I can't help but think of the true meaning of Tetris. So today, let's explore the philosophy behind the Tetris. Keep in mind, that this is my opinion. Feel free to judge... constructively. First concept You don't have to be perfect to fit in Before we jump into...

Preparation, presentation and post-mortem of the presentation my group sketch: Flame

1. Learning Process The process of preparing for the sketch was actually quite fun and interesting. Being placed in a group of boys without any girls, and a story that consists of both genders, we had to take drastic measures  to act out all of the existing characters in the sketch. All of us learned quite of a lot of new things during the sketch. I feel more confident after the act due to how you have to "get out there" and actually perform the character you are assigned to.Besides, it strengthen the bond between me and my friends who were in the same group. A lot of effort was put into the script to make sure everything was right. Everyone had their own role and their own dialogues. During the presentation, we presented the entire story with little to no problems aside from forgetting which character we were supposed to act. (*cough* Meghann *cough*) If we could make it better, my guess would be using actual equipment and actually grasping the characteristics of our ...
