Infinity’s reveal / Откровение бесконечности. Thank you

PART ONE

«Hey… Is there anyone? Is there anyone?!!!! Hello! Where are all the people?????» – no one was answering…

«What is happening? Why am I alone?.. Totally alone…»

No one was answering… No one.

She was totally alone. Her name was Infinity… And she was totally alone…

She has lived for a very long time… Or to be more appropriate she has never lived… And at the same time she has lived forever… That’s what happens… And not only in the movies…

Infinity could do anything… She could create anything… She could destroy anything… She could do anything… All her dreams were coming true.. Anything she wanted.. There was only one problem in that world: she was absolutely alone… Absolutely.. And that’s why she was so sad…

But she could create anything.. For example, a bag of money… Or the most beautiful sunset in the world… And she could sit on the cloud, watch all that beauty and dream…

Sometimes she turned on the stars… When she felt that they were annoying her, she turned them off… Then she turned them on once again… And she had a dream.. She was dreaming that one day someone will sit with her on the cloud… She really believed that one day she will meet someone and make friendship with him… She was looking for him for a very long time… But she was still alone… still alone… very long time..

She even didn’t know what is time… She had lots of time… infinite amount.. But she didn’t know how to spend it…

You can ask how she looked like… Good question.. Nohow.. She didn’t look like anything… She was nothing. And at the same time she was everything.. She was everything..

She could be anything… She could take any role… She could be a stone, and she could be a bird… She could be a tree in the forest, or she could be a cloud.. But other trees never answered her… She was always alone. Alone in the universe.. The only voice she could ever hear was her own echo.. And nothing else..

That’s how she lived..

Once she was sitting on the cloud and watching one more sunset.. It was very beautiful… She liked it so much.. To be honest she liked to admire things… She was creating something and then she admired it… like she had seen it for the first time.. For example, she created something  a sunset or a sky with lots of stars  and then she started to admire it… And it disappeared. At that moment the game stopped… She created things to admire them.. And when she admired them, they disappeared.. — —

So one day she was sitting on the cloud and watching the sunset… And she decided to create one more cloud near her.. And she decided to put someone else on that cloud.. She knew that all her wishes come true.. And she created one more creature… Someone who looks like Infinity.. It was the first time she was doing that..

She was really afraid.. «What will happen?»

But she did it..

So she is sitting on the cloud.. And thinking: «Wow! I love that sunset… It is so beautiful… Wow..»

The sunset disappears… And she hears beside her:

«Wow! I love that sunset… It is so beautiful… Wow..»

It was not like an echo..

She looked left.. There is a cloud.. And someone is sitting on the cloud.. And he is looking at her, at Infinity…

«Hi,» Infinity thinks…

«Hi,» the answer…

«Infinity,» she says.

«Infinity.»

«I see… It’s my mirror… My copy.. So stupid… I don’t need it..» she thought.

The same thoughts near her..

«Oh you are so cool… Wow.. I love you so much…» she tried to create that thoughts.. But it was not sincere.. And nothing happened. She didn’t admire the situation… She was afraid, to be honest… She didn’t know what will happen next… And at the same time she didn’t want to lose her new friend..

Then she decided to change everything..

«I don’t want him to repeat after me..»

He stopped

And they were looking at each other in full silence.. She showed him the stars, the seas, the cities.. They were walking all the time.. So she wasn’t alone… Finally..

Her new friend stopped repeating after her, but he was always silent.. He never created anything himself.. He was making only things which Infinity wanted from him…

Infinity was bored..

«I don’t like it.. He never answers..» she thought

And she decided: «I want him to have his own consciousness.»

She had enough, so she could give a part to her new friend..

And she did it. He became really independent..

They could read each other’s thoughts, but from that moment each one had his own thoughts…

So once Infinity was alone…

And she thought of her new friend: «He should never know that I had created him.. Never.. I should forget myself I had created him.. I should forget it… So now he will never know..»

So she did it.. She knew that maybe it’s the worst decision in her life.. So she made everything to forget that she had created her new friend.. And at the same time she lost her ability to control him. She couldn’t now do anything with her new friend, because she could affect only what she had created herself… But she forgot she had created him… She didn’t create him.. So now he was the only one who could do anything with himself… He has his own consciousness, he can do anything he wants and he doesn’t need any permission from anyone else… Full freedom..

Usually no matter where Infinity was coming, she always knew where all the things were situated… She was the owner of all that, so she never found anything interesting.. But…

Once upon a time she sees one subject.. It is very strange.. It has four legs, a back and a sit.. Then she sees a creature with the head, two legs, two hands, two eyes, two ears, a nose and a mouth..

«Hello,» Infinity said.. «I didn’t know someone else is here.. I’ve never seen anyone here..»

«Never say never..» she heard..

She felt herself uncomfortable after these words.. But she didn’t understand why.

«Hello you too.. Sorry I didn’t say hello at the beginning. My name is Luke. And yours?»

«Nice to meet you. In…» she thought her real name could frighten him…«Inny…»

«What a stupid name,» she thought..

«Nice name,» he said. «Very nice..»

«Thank you, Luke. What’s this?»

«It’s the chair.»

«What?»

«Well, it is used to sit on it.. Look.»

And he put there that creature with eyes and hands..

«Aah, I got it.. As for me, I usually sit on the clouds..»

«Will you show me?»

She couldn’t believe that she finally wasn’t alone..

«Leave that body and let’s go for a walk, mister Luke..»

Luke left it right there.. And they went away… Flew away.

«Do you want me to show you what I can?» Inny asked.

«Of course.»

«Then turn away.»

And she created one cloud. Then she created one more.. Then she created the sun and the sea.. She painted the sky in pink and blue colors.. She never made it so beautiful..

«Sit down..»

They sat, each one on his own cloud.. And the sunset has started. Inny started to put the sun under the horizon.. It was very beautiful.. And when the sun went down, she asked Luke to turn away one more time.. At that time she put lots of little stars on the dark sky… He turned back. And they started to watch all that beauty..

Suddenly it became cold..

«Did you make it yourself?» he was asking about the temperature.

«Yes.. I made it for us not to be bored..»

…

«Do you want me to teach you how to make this all disappear..?»

«Well, show me.»

«Just watch me.»

And she started to admire all that cold and the sky with the stars..

«Wow.. It is so cold.. It is so nice we have all this diversity… So beautiful… I’ve never seen it before.. Wow…»

She usually admired things like she has seen them for the first time..

Everything disappeared…

«Wow… How are you doing that?»

He just gave Inny that thought..

«I’m here for a very long time… Very long.. And you? What about you, Luke?»

«I don’t remember..»

Inny felt a great sympathy to Luke after that words.. It was mutual..

***

So they started to play different games…

Each one created his own world. And they invited each other there…

Sometimes Inny came to Luke to drink some tea.. And sometimes Luke was visiting Inny to watch the cinema..

That’s how they were living.. They were living and living… For a very long time.. It was a nice friendship.. It was a nice time.. They didn’t need anyone else.. They liked what was happening… And everything was okay.. It was a nice friendship…

***

So once Inny came to Luke’s place.. Luke was living in a house.. She entered it..

And inside the house she saw something on the wall. It was written «HELLO» there.

She asked: «What’s this, Luke?» she didn’t understand the meaning of the word..

«Inny, you should know that!» he was joking..

«Luke, tell me!»

«No!»

«Luke!»

«You should guess yourself!!»

«No! Tell me!!!»

They started to argue.. In the end Inny went out of the house full of tears and she ran home..

She was very sad.. She thought that Luke is awful.. She really wanted to admire that situation, but she couldn’t.. She had no result in that..

After some time she came back to Luke’s house.. She decided to make a revenge.. And she burned his favorite tree. Luke was sleeping at that time..

Then she went home..

***

Inny was sitting at home..

«Oh my God… What have I done? What have I done?? Oh my God.. He will never forgive me..»

…

«I’ll tell him I didn’t do it..» Inny decided.. And went to sleep..

On the next day Luke came to Inny’s place..

«Why did you burn my tree?»

«It’s not me..»

«Then who else?.. We are alone here, Inny..»

«I don’t know.»

«Okay.»

Luke went away.

And after some time he burnt Inny’s planet.. Inny burnt Luke’s planet.. They were immortal, it was not a problem for them..

Inny got ill. Luke came to visit her..

She was living in a new house..

«I’m sorry,» he said. «Do you need any help?»

«Go away! It’s your fault!!»

And she put on her house a big sign «I HATE YOU!!»

She was very angry at him..

She decided never to communicate with him..

«He is so bad..» she thought.

…

«Oh my god.. What should I do now? I have no one to tell all this.. Who is my friend now.. I’m so tired…» Inny was lost..

And she got the idea!

«I don’t want to live all my life alone..» «I need a new friend!»

Inny was inspired..

One-two-three! Ready!

One more creature.. All the same.. Create.. and then forget you had created him.. It’s more interesting..

«Inny.»

«Salt.»

«Nice to meet you. A walk?»

And they went down the bridge which was between Inny’s and Luke’s worlds..

Inny was remembering the moments when they were meeting with Luke together on that bridge and talking.. That moments were the best in her life.. No one understood her as good as Luke..

So now Luke’s world started with the computer, where you need to enter a password… You can’t enter without a password..

Inny decided to tell Salt about everything..

«Can you imagine? How could he…»

And suddenly, really suddenly, Luke appears..

He is going down the bridge and thinking of Inny.. He is thinking how they would come to peace and everything will be okay.. He is thinking how he would write a letter to her and explain the meaning of the word Inny didn’t understand..

But he sees Inny and Salt..

First of all he doesn’t understand.. What is happening? It is very hard for him to believe.. When he understands it is true he runs as fast as possible home and starts shouting..

«How could she!! How could she!!! I’ll make her unhappy.. Yes! I’ll make her unhappy!!»

Inny had a very big planet.. And it was very beautiful.. Near Inny’s house there was a field.

Luke created a new creature.. Her name was Love.. It was his first creature…

Luke invited Love to Inny’s planet.. They came to that field and made a picnic near Inny’s house.. They took the best food in the world and put it on a blanket.. Luke started to play the guitar.. He played different songs for his friend. She was eating strawberries and listening to music..

Inny was at home..

«What’s that?» she heard the sounds..

She looked out the window..

«What?????!!!»

She was shocked..

«I’ll show you who’s Inny..»

And she made one very bad thing.. She made one more creature.. And she programmed it to make evil things.. And she directed the actions of that creature against Luke and she made it so that Luke wouldn’t guess anything…

So the name of that creature was Death.. All that she was doing was finding Luke and making him die somehow.. But it was always a surprise for Luke.. Of course, Luke didn’t die himself, but he often lost his bodies and he had to start the game from the beginning all the time..

Death always looked very beautiful..

Luke really liked her appearance.. She was beautiful, but very mean..

Inny started to regret what she had done. But it was too late.. She couldn’t turn off the programme.. Or to be more appropriate, Inny couldn’t influence Death, because Inny didn’t remember she created her.. So Inny decided that the only thing she deserves now is the revenge to herself..

So she made everything to get bad things from Death… Death stopped killing Luke.. She started killing Inny..

It was very difficult for Inny to fight Death.. She became very tired.. She didn’t know what to do..

At that moment Salt, Inny’s best friend, was her servant.. He was accomplishing all her orders.. Inny became very lazy, and Salt was helping her very much.. Inny asked Salt to help her with Death. But even that was not enough.. If Salt killed Death, she became born again and continued doing what she was doing.. It was not enough..

So Inny started to create a team.. Her purpose was to fight Death..

Inny created one more creature.

The creature was very kind.. Then she created one more creature.. And she programmed them to fight evil..

Life became beautiful.. You don’t have to do anything.. Someone is fighting someone.. And Inny can lie on the sofa..

And Inny gets bored..

It’s not as interesting as before.. No games.. No problems..

And Inny decides to create the whole city on her planet with lots of citizens in it.. What? It’s more interesting..

First of all, she burns everything to start from the beginning. Now it’s much easier for her to burn everything than to admire it.. She almost lost the ability to admire things..

Inny created the seas, the forests, the fields and the oceans.. Everything was very beautiful.. Well, it was not even just a city.. It was a whole planet.. Near the planet Inny created a very bright star.. She called it Shiney. Inny asked the planet to move around that star.. With the same speed all the time.. And the planet was very interesting… You could be above the planet, under the planet, on the side of the planet, but you never fall down.. That planet was pulling everyone in.. When the planet was turning face to face to Shiney, there was a day, and when it turned back, there was night..

«Now we finally have time here!»

Luke, the old friend of Inny, was watching all that.. Inny didn’t see him. He was watching without the body.. She could feel him, but she was too busy and it was more difficult for her to use her abilities.. Inny has already been considering herself as something material at that time.. She really liked that game – objects, people, bodies..

Inny continued creating her planet..

«Now it’s the best time to put here some people..»

And many people appeared on the planet.. They had eyes, hands and many other things for happy life.. Lots of people.. And of course they were not just people.. They were immortal spirits.. But they had human bodies.. And no one forced them to have that bodies.. Inny just gave them the opportunity to live.. And they all could decide which way to live..

Inny created adults and kids.. And she started to rule that planet..

So they all started to live.. As it was always…

Most of all people on that planet were very kind, but not all of them.. Some of them were mean.. Inny took effort to make it..

***

Inny really liked to rule the planet.. She could do anything she wanted. She could create any laws.. And she was doing that very good, people liked that.. Everyone was admiring her very much.. They loved her.. And she liked it.. She was very kind. She really liked people.. And she loved when people started to have some problems.. Because she loved to help people solve their problems..

Almost every person was making some good things to other people.. For example, someone was selling the flowers.. Someone was baking the bread.. Someone was working in the theater.. Someone was drawing the pictures.. And people exchanged things.. Unless one clever man created the money.. And Inny approved it.. So people started to use the money..

People created a language which they used to talk..

Sometimes people were dying and then they were born again.. In new bodies..

So that’s how they were living.. And they remembered everything.. Every person remembered everything that happened to him before.. A person didn’t remember only the things he didn’t want to remember.. But he could remember everything.. If he wanted..

He had an ideal memory..

What about Luke? What was he doing?

Inny’s old friend who was living down the bridge.. He developed his own planet.. It was really advanced.. Very modern..

There was lots of different technics.. There were powerful robots which were controlled by the spirits.. And there was no nature.. Absolutely.. It was not needed there..

And Inny didn’t need Luke.. She even didn’t remember about him. She played her own game and she didn’t touch anyone.. Why should you remember your old games when you have new ones?

Luke sent Inny an invitation.

«Inny, come to my planet. I’ll show you what I’ve done.. I’m in the same place, down the bridge.. The password is 8-8-8-8. See you. Luke.»

Inny decided to come.

She was really surprised when she saw the planet.. She felt like they were competing with Luke..

«I see you are doing good..» she said.

She was in a beautiful red dress. It was a special dress for the trips.. She had curly white hair.. Very beautiful..

People called Inny the Queen on her planet, and Luke was the King..

«How are you doing, Inny?»

«Not bad, not bad» she answered.. «Not worse than you.»

She was very cold in her talk.. She didn’t feel any sympathy to Luke..

They were together almost all day.. Luke made Inny an excursion.. He showed her his achievements..

«Luke, I want your planet..»

«Are you kidding? This is my planet..»

Inny really liked that planet.. All that machines.. Luke was very clever.

«Luke, I want this planet..»

She really liked it..

«No, Inny, you should create your own..»

«Okay.. I’m going home..»

It was evening.

The carriage was waiting on the bridge. It was white with golden drawings on it.. Horses brought Inny home..

People missed Inny very much..

Next day Inny decided to walk around her planet.. And she saw some interesting things..

First of all, she saw that people got really fixed on money.. Money became their main purpose.. They have been getting less delight from the activity itself and they were thinking where to take more money..

Also Inny saw that some people started to explore life.. They called themselves the philosophers.. They were looking for the answers… It scared Inny..

And one more thing.. Inny started to watch married couples.. Many of them were very happy. Husbands.. Wives.. They liked that game.. Inny didn’t know that you can be so happy with your partner.

And Inny made some decisions..

First of all, she decided to marry.. Secondly, she set some limits for people.. From that moment you could have not more than one apartment or house and not more than 100 000 units of money every month.. «I don’t want them to be fixed on money,» she thought.

The next decision was about ruling the planet.. She made the law according to which the only person who could be the next ruler was the son or the daughter of the present Queen or King. She made it to be the Queen of that planet all the time. She didn’t want to lose her power..

So she could be born in that family all the time and continue ruling the planet..

And what about the philosophers..

She decided to watch their activity. She didn’t forbid it. She decided that she will forbid it if she sees anything strange.. She was afraid they could find the truth..

So Inny started to think who could be her husband.. And she remembered of Salt..

At that moment he continued being her servant.. But no one knew him… And Inny thought: «It would be so nice if he could make me a proposal..»

Inny and Salt had a good understanding of each other.. Not perfect, but not bad. It was the best option on the planet..

So right that day he made Inny a proposal..

«Oh wow! Such a surprise! Wow! I didn’t expect that!» she said. And they made a wedding.. She said yes, of course..

So they were together for one month..

«Salt.. You should know one thing.. I want to have one more planet..»

«What do you mean?»

«Life is so boring, Salt.. All the same every day.. I want to change something.. I need one more planet.. I saw it some time before. Do you remember I told you about Luke? It is his planet.. And I want it to be mine..»

«I got you.. What should we do?»

«I’ll write him a letter.»

And she wrote a letter to Luke.. There was the text: «Dear Luke, I want your planet.. I’m asking you for the last time..» She sent a bird with that letter..

The answer was almost immediate.. There was an electronic letter: «No way..»

«Okay..»

And she announced to the whole planet:

«From now every man who is more than 18 years old should study as a warrior. Every man studies as much as he needs.. It depends on his speed. I will give the next directions..»

Inny ordered her servants to send the invitations to all the guys of that age..

So from that moment there was a place on that planet where the warriors were studying..

And when one thousand men studied enough, Inny ordered her servants to bring them to her:

«Listen carefully. We are going to attack another planet. It would be a war. It means we are going to fight for their territory.. We need to kill everyone on that planet.. And then we can have that planet.. So now I’m your boss, I will tell you everything… You have no choice, guys. When there is night on that planet you are going to start. You will have the earphones and the microphones, I will tell you what to do. If you have any questions during the war just tell me via the microphone.»

And the war started..

Inny was sitting in her controlling centre. It was an office with several staff members.. They were in touch with the warriors. The Queen knew what was happening during the war..

It was a war between robots and people.. People were losing.. The robots were too strong.. They killed some of the warriors.. One of the warriors had seen one interesting thing before he died. It was a red button on the back of one of the robots. He told the Queen about it and died. She told one of the warriors to push that red button.. After that the robot turned off. Then the Queen gave the order to turn off all the robots by pushing that button.. She asked the warriors to do it very carefully.. It was done.. And then the Queen asked to tie Luke and to bring him to her planet.. Luke had a human body.. The warriors brought Luke to Inny’s planet and then they put him in jail as the Queen asked.

The Queen sent her servants and the warriors to Lu ke’s planet and told them to take a look around the planet.. She wanted to understand, what’s happening there, how the machines work..
