Fiction Science Fiction

Evelyn was a somewhat unsuccessful author. She hadn't sold any books lately, so she decided to create an auto-fiction, a book in which she would alter reality just a little and tell the story of her life. She decided to make the novel a little more dramatic, so she wrote something different from reality: the fact that her neighbor spilled her coffee cup. The next thing she knew, her neighbor actually spilled her coffee cup on her when she went out for a morning walk that morning.

She thought that maybe to make her novel more successful, she could turn it into fiction, because fiction is popular. She wrote about a talking pink cat. She was walking down the alley behind her house when she saw a cat with an unusual color: its fur was pink. She actually wrote about a pink cat! The pink cat said:

- Hello! I inform you that through what you write, you have the power to influence reality. Because of this, none of your books have sold.

- Wow, are you really talking? So what do you think is the next step?

- That's for you to decide, but I advise you not to abuse this power.

Evelyn thought: what if she could use this power to her advantage? She wrote that she won the lottery and is now rich. And look! The ticket she bought for the lottery really came out winning. The next strange thing she sees is a purple snake in the window frame.

- I didn't write about you!

- I want to let you know that every time you use this power, reality becomes more and more shattered.

- Who are you to tell me that I can't use my power? Then why was it given to me?

She felt that she missed her mother. So she wrote that her mother offered her a visit. The next thing that happened was her mother at the door.

-Hi, Mom!

-Hi, Evelyn! I missed you so I decided to pay you a visit.

-Thank you, Mom!

-Are your book sales still bad?

-Yes, but I've discovered something phenomenal. I have the power to alter reality with my writing.

-My dear, are you really sure?

-Yes! Here's the proof: I wrote that I would win the lottery and that you would visit me and it actually happened.

-Wow, I can't believe it! You can also write that the dried flowers in my garden have come back, because I miss their sweet smell.

-Of course I can!

In this way, Evelyn began to alter reality more and more. It became like an obsession: to write about things that weren't real and were becoming real.

The next day she noticed some UFOs. "Oh no, this is not good!". She thought to herself. Then the little green men got out of the ship and communicated to her telepathically:

-You are the one who led us all to perdition!

Evelyn ran away from being caught by the little green men. Could she somehow fix all this? When she wrote in the book that reality had been repaired, the book seemed to refuse her words. "This is not good!" She thought. Then the strips of reality came apart and the fabric of space-time conglomerated. Everything became a new Big-Bang, the size of a goose egg. Now the Uncreated would give the power to change reality by writing to a new unfortunate being.

-Who should I give this power to again?

Now there was a new Universe that was babbling to be reborn. A new Universe was about to be created where the laws of physics are completely different. Now time and space had no meaning. The council of celestial beings consulted:

-How can we stop Uncreated? He has made a disaster of our Universe! We must take away his ability to provide this ability!

But what is the purpose of Uncreated to provide this power? He has the Book of All for Anywhere, Anytime, Anyone. A winged cat was sent to retrieve this book. But the cat failed, and an army of celestial beings came after the cat. Uncreated with his monsters Uncreated waged a war with the celestial beings. Until in a millennium, the celestial beings finally obtained this book. But the power in this book was so great that if a celestial being opened the book, it was instantly pulverized.

In the end, the new Universe was indeed created, but evolution had a completely different trajectory, on another planet. The biological laws were different. Plants and animals were completely different from the old Universe. Aliens managed to coexist with beings that evolved on the primitive planet. But the law of the aliens was not to show themselves with spaceships, so as not to influence the path of evolution. But the alien civilization expanded, evolving on new planets and meeting new species of aliens.

It was not an uncommon occurrence to be robbed by space pirates if you traveled a long intergalactic route. Injustice was the law. You very rarely found honest aliens, most often they were dishonest.

In order for this new Universe to be safe, the celestial beings decided to destroy the Book of All Possibilities. And in this way they protected all the remaining living beings. Because some species of aliens could no longer reproduce and created artificial clones. Some evolutions led to some aliens combining their bodies with a technology that achieved the next stage of evolution. With bodies reinforced with pure metals, they could dominate the galaxies.

Until that primitive civilization moved to the next stage and began to compete with the aliens. Then a war began between the aliens and the civilization that was now more advanced. That civilization won the war because they had a power that the aliens did not have: the power of free will. It seems that the consciousness of the aliens was controlled by a higher consciousness. And so the civilization newly freed from war realized that before they existed, there was another Universe that was destroyed by a destructive power... But they believed that they could save this Universe from wars and destruction.
