Congratulations Extra-Dimensional Intelligence!

You’re an extra-dimensional intelligence, formless and endlessly wise in the ways of our universe. But, like most extra-dimensional beings who can penetrate all our meager physical barriers, you spend most of your time watching random people do it.

You’ve seen a lot of configurations. Fat guy on skinny chick, fat guy on fat girl, skinny dude on fat guy. You’ve seen positions and acts most of us know only in rumor, terrible, wordless things that most of us would shudder to even consider, let alone witness. And you’ve done all with the detached amusement of a being completely without attachment or stake in our world.

All that will change this afternoon when you witness a young child loosing a balloon into the atmosphere. You’ll immediately be drawn to the balloon’s firm, supple form, its chaotic ever changing innards. You’ll wonder what its name is, what it likes, if it has ever done it outside of the fourth dimension. You’ll chase it up to the sky, dancing around it as it falls out of the sight of the child who lost it. Then you’ll set upon it.

You’ll ravage it with techniques difficult to comprehend, ideas and purposes and metaphysical devisings that should shame you but won’t they’ll feel so right and strong in you. When you’re finished the balloon and all its lovely gas will be consumed, floating back down to Earth a limp and spent thing. And you, you’ll realize that you’ve seen what this dimension has to show you. You’ll fold in on yourself and without the slightest pop you’ll vanish into nothing.

Congratulations Extra-Dimensional Intelligence!
