For he who lives more lives than one
More deaths than one must die.
— Oscar Wilde, 1897
Within this capsule you see nothing but what looks like a colored
shadow floating in its center.
You approach slowly, and eventually notice that shapes are appearing
indistincly on what seems to be an other side.
As you try to walk around it, you're surprised by the fact that the
image you're looking at stay straight right in front of you; it
actually follows your gaze. It's not threatening, just very strange.
As you continue to observe what seems unreal, you gradually feel a
call. At first, like a whisper; you don't recognize the sounds. But
then, as you lend an ear, you realize that the murmur is turning into a
rustle.
It sounds like a gentle wind blowing through the leaves of tall,
majestic trees. Here, the sound of an insect picking at a flower.
There, another feasting on a greasy leaf. And if you close your eyes,
it's like you can almost feel the warm rays of a distant sun on your
face.
Puzzled, you ask yourself: how can this be? You're in a capsule in the
middle of Gemini space; where does this call from Nature come from?
Does this shadow have something to do with it? Could it be some kind
of a door? Maybe one of those mysterious transluminent portal you've
heard about in SPACEWALK alleys? What are these colored shapes you
see?
Will you be brave enought to cross the gate, not knowing if you'll ever
be able to come back?
