Constructing Worlds Stage 2 Cont. Scenario 1
SCENARIO 1Silas is a 30 year old inventor. He loves spending his spare time tinkering with his own inventions, and daydreaming. He believes daydreaming helps to keep him young by exercising the dormant parts of his mind.
Silas has a deep interest in staying young. He is single, has no children and feels if he ever wants a chance at that he needs to keep his youth as long as possible. He is a busy inventor and has no time for those things as of yet.
Today Silas is up early flying through the skies in his latest invention He hasn’t thought of a name for it yet but if he achieves what he wants today, he won’t need to.
Ever since he was a child Silas wanted to be young forever so he never forgot the tales of the ‘House of Eternal Youth’. The House of Eternal Youth is fabled to be brightest and the highest house in the world. It has 6 sides, the top and front are made of clear glass, the west side made of creamy white opaque glass, the east side made of the fineness white fabric with a beautiful pattern fit for a queen, the back side made of semi-transparent blue glass and the bottom black onyx. Inside the house there is said to be the source of light that the world uses to see. It never stops shining so in this world there is no such thing as night.
Unlike Silas and the rest of the worlds houses, this house does not need to be built on stilts or mountains to sustain its height in the sky, it floats on a platform on its own.
The people of the world believe the farther you are from the earth the slower you will age. The House of Eternal Youth is special because you don’t have to worry about aging ever again. All your troubles will be removed, like building higher houses to be younger then your neighbors or traveling to the ground of the earth only to do things in a rush to get back home.
It seemed as if Silas had been traveling for hours or even days, he begin to wonder if maybe it was a fable after all, that was until he spotted it. It was much more beautiful than anyone could ever describe, more than he could ever daydreamed of. He landed his invention on top of the house and looked down into the beautiful light. He could feel the warmth on his body. It felt so weird uncommon to the coldness he usually felt living so high up in the mountains.
He wanted more of that warmth and decided to go inside and climbed down the ladder of the house to the front door. He couldn’t wait to open it and begin the new chapter of his life. He would be young forever, and all his problems and troubles would be gone.
There were few who wondered whatever happened to Silas the inventor who went away traveling up high in his flying contraption. The people who did think of Silas were in awe of him. They wished they could be him, they knew he had achieved eternal youth and all his troubles were gone, but they were only half right. For the day he opened the door of the House of Eternal Youth he was overwhelmed by the intensity of heat and light and was burned away to ashes never to age again, never to have troubles again, because his life came to an abrupt end.
