Trapped in Time

What would happen if you got stuck in Time? Zia has completed her Ph.D. in Botany and has applied for the post of lecturer/ Professor. She joins a High school as a temporary teacher and is entrusted with the task of leading a group of ten students on a trekking /camping expedition. On the way they meet a guy who seems to be a trouble maker but later, he proves to be a pillar of strength. Early morning their camp is attacked by Bears and they flee taking a different route. But they are lost. They enter a lost world where people are living, in hiding, for over 250 years. Their technology is much advanced as compared to ours. Their world is called ‘Utopia’ but now it is changing due to an oppressive ruler, meaning the ills of our world have manifested in Utopia too. They are trapped in the time of this hidden world and want to help the people there fight against the oppressive ruler and his cronies. The oppressive ruler wants to make a number of Time Machines by using the brains of the scientists who died in harness at the site of the experiments. They all decide to help the good citizens of ‘Utopia’ the lost world. The huge brains are destroyed and the Orbs of the scientists escape from the huge pulsating Brain to help them in their mission of destroying the Huge brains at other centers. In this process, the crystals that are used in the hypnotizing guns are almost finished and to get more they split up to go to the 'Magical World' through a curtain which is actually a portal. The Magical World is a flat man made Earth-like satellite, which was made as a joke to taunt the scientists 7000 years ago, and which is still operational. Here they meet the inhabitants. They are fascinated with the advancement of science especially the talking chips and the flying cars. They see a completely different world where animals, plants, rocks, water etc. can talk. Before you touch anything you need to seek permission. They also meet the Aliens called the 'Crocodile Race' who have come to the Magical World (the flat satellite) to get supplies. They see a spaceship being guided to land by the scientists of the Magical World. They also see the inside of the mountain where the controls are situated which help in maintaining the environment of the Magical World. They get an invite from the Aliens to visit ‘Titan’ the satellite of Saturn where the Crocodile race has settled. At present they are on the mother Ship going to Titan. **************************** Will try to post a chapter in a week now.

Flashback- Magical World (Part 2)

The generations of Earthlings who had come here were practically the guardians of their little world.

We all were stunned to know that the flat satellite created that time was similar to the space stations and space labs stationed high in space during present-day Earth Era. The present-day satellites came into existence during the 20th century. The flat satellite could be accessed from space by means of spaceships as well as through the portal for Earthlings.

The machinery that managed the flat satellite also managed the welcoming booming voice which had greeted us when we had entered the Magical World. It was a computer-generated voice but due to a defect in the system, it was not accompanied by an image and the fault needed to be rectified by sending a mechanic to repair the defect. To do so, someone would need to be deputed from here to the mountain behind them. There was a control room that encompassed the management of many things.

The control room, in the mountain, managed the sky colour for the night sky with the moon and the stars, as well as the day sky with the sun and the clouds. The aperture between the night and the day skies was also managed from here. It was obvious that the aperture could not be left open throughout the day or the night, as leaving it open would mean the escape of all the gases, especially oxygen and carbon dioxide. Thus the opening of the aperture would be controlled from the mountain to widen it when a satellite approached and keep it closed when no spaceship was seeking entry.

Just imagine, creating an artificial satellite that too like a flat earth and to make it realistic, put in a lot of machinery to manage the gravity, carbon dioxide, oxygen, water, a false night sky with stars and the moon as well as a false blue day sky with numerous clouds and the sun. This was indeed not an easy task. To make it authentic they had added plants, grass, trees, shrubs, fruit-bearing trees as well as birds, fish, and animals. The satellite was a replica of the Earth, but the Earth they created was flat and not round just to show that such a creation was possible.

If spaceships were coming into this Magical World then it meant that there was a landing pad for these spaceships as well as a take-off area. There would be a lot of scientists, engineers, and technicians working here. Now we all wanted to visit the mountain to see the control room and the machinery there, especially when it was in operation during the landing of a spaceship. We also wanted to see the landing areas of the spaceships. We also wanted to meet other people that lived on the Magical World.

In our own world, we could never ever dream of getting onto any satellite or Spacelab to see it unless we were able to get into a space exploration program by studying hard through our university years.

We were hungry and tired. When we had crossed from Utopia, it was dark. We needed to eat and rest. The old man took us to the huge covered building behind him which he said was for Earthlings to rest in. We would get cooked food there also. Only vegetarian food was served.

Non-Vegetarian food is only for the Aliens as they eat more of non-veg stuff sometimes raw and sometimes cooked.

He led the way and the Orbs accompanied us. The building was covered with carpet grass. In fact, all the buildings were like this. On the sides were trees. From upfront, no one could figure out that this was a building. There was a door and as we entered it, we saw that it was well lit like in Utopia.

He showed us the canteen and disappeared for a bit to hand the vegetables to someone to cook. He showed us the two dormitories with 6 and 5 beds made for the boys and the girls respectively. We were to stay there till our work on the Magical World was done. The Orbs figured out which dormitory they would be guarding as the old man could not figure out their gender.

The Orbs did not mind it, they knew it was difficult for people to figure out their gender. They divided among themselves and made two rows.

We admired the respective dorms. Surprisingly, a change of clothes had been kept for all of us along with accessories. Night clothes were also placed on the beds.

The Old man informed that there were washrooms with running water and liquid soap, shampoo, toothpaste, cream, etc. which we could use. He also informed us that lunch would be served at 1 pm.

We wanted to go to the mountain and see the control room and the machinery there. We also wanted to see the landing area of the spaceships. We were informed that would be taken care of when someone goes to the mountain for the repair work. As regards the landing area that can be organised. We wanted to meet other persons on this satellite too.

We explained that the reason for our visit was for the crystals and that we needed to return to Utopia and then to our own city. The Old man, whose name was 'Aarvin', wanted the children to satisfy their curiosity before we went back as we might not get a chance again. Besides, Aliens coming or going is a hidden fact in our world. As a matter of fact, all the governments want to hide this from their citizens to avoid panic. Aliens have been coming and going all over the universe since the beginning of Earth.

We wanted to know where exactly was this Magical World or the flat satellite situated. Aarvin was surprised and thought that we already knew. He said that the Magical World was situated on the other side of the moon, the dark side actually. It was kept hidden from the prying eyes of our world until people understood what can be done in space advancement. The light side of the moon faces the earth, the other side is in complete darkness and has the possibility of the presence of water and many minerals.
