Ball of Nothing

Chapter 2


That's it! I'll figure those questions out at a later date . For now, I should probably head over to the planet called Earth that the newbie created .
Herein lies my problem . How do I move again? For as long as I remembered, moving was not in my dictionary . Lazing was the one thing I was good at, I've never felt so motivated to pursue anything as there was nothing to do . Maybe I should forgive the newbie for trespassing as things are finally becoming interesting .
Even after such a long monologue, my progress towards Earth was still zero . I remained in the same spot despite my desire to propel forward . Was I doomed to stay here forever or wait for something to happen?
With my new-found sense of sight, I looked around . Space is a really empty place! There was absolutely nothing near enough for me to call out to for help . The excitement died as quickly as it came . Before long, I'd drifted off again . Maybe when I awake, I'd discover a way to move .
***
The next time I came to, I was moving . However, it wasn't by my volition . Space rocks, also more commonly known as asteroids, decided to string me along on a joy-ride . The destination wasn't Earth and I swore the closer we got to the yellow planet, the faster it travelled .
Movement was a fascinating thing initially . Waking up to a whole new scenery and sensation was a refreshing change from the usual monotone . However, plummeting at an uncontrollable pace into the unknown was something I'd rather deal without . No longer having the luxury to study the new objects that appeared before me, I was struggling to slow down the speed to no avail .
Slowly but surely, we entered the massive field of grey that occasionally had flashes of bright white lights . I thought the rock was going to stop upon contact but it surprised me when the grey parted and gave way instead . The white lights never reached us and my ride continued . What a shame, I was curious how white lights would feel like too .
Slowly but surely we saw a new field of blue-green appear after the grey was left behind . By now, the rock was on fire but it didn't affect me . Could it be because I was merely tagging along on the ride?
I noticed how the blue-green was moving as we got closer . So this is what the newbie called 'water' . . . This great existence approves of the landing site! Water was always moving and that meant that I wouldn't have to worry about not being able to go anywhere once we land .
Once the rock touched the blue-green water called 'sea', I felt a strong tug that pulled me away from the rock . Being in the water reminded me so much of space and where I was previously . It was the most glorious sensation thus far . The only thing that bothered me was how the light from above was getting further and further as the water pulled me away .
Now that the problem about movement has been resolved, where is this water taking me?
