RE: Tell me where to go next! - A Story

in #story5 years ago

I started to correct your grammar but I quitted soon after... It would take days!! :)

As for the story, things are pretty obvious. The old "woman" was trying to imprison a spirit, the same thing she did many times before and failed. Every time, a new clue surfaces to help her succeed, but still she has to learn a lot. Problem is, that the old "woman" cannot use technological devices, so she needs others to do that for her and follow her instructions. Another problem is that the spirit has to be photographed during a very specific time period that occurs once in a while; also, it's not the spirit itself that must be photographed but its reflection, seen through a series of mirrors, each reflection distorted through a piece glass or window. If we were to plot down the exact coordinates of the mirrors and glasses on a 2d plane, it would look something like the graph below, so it will take some more time until the old "woman" can complete her strange curse.

I chose part of your comment and your image to the story that I just now continued. Which one would you like to have: 1 SBI (@steembasicincome share) or 1 STEEM? :)

Cool! I have no idea what SBI is, so please, i'd like to receive the reward in SBI, in order to check it out :) Thanks

That's the spirit! Straight to the unknown! Your wish is my command and I will now reward you with a steem basic income share which will reward you forever. :)

I added the CC BY-SA license to my story. That of course doesn't include the pictures. Your work, as always is the kind that I love and most probably will use at some point in the story, so could you throw me a link or a text that you want me to attach under your art? Your website, or a specific post perhaps? Otherwise I'll just add the text: ©copyright @nyarlathotep.

Cool! I also added the same licence to the pic, so do whatever you want with it. I haven't published it anywhere else, only in the comment here, so you could link the comment or just mention its wondrous creator! :) Now, let's see what you come up with to continue the story...

This reminds me of the "Fractal Writing Contest" i used to host some months ago:
Contest #2
Contest #6
Contest #11

And I completely missed your writing contests! Then again I think I have a fair excuse as joined barely 8 months ago to Steemit. :D

I have my thinking braincells on on pause (or a holiday) for the weekend. I'll see them again next week so then we can go back to the story.

Define spirit.
Also define "a very specific time period that occurs once in a while".

How can a 2D image be converted in to a 3D map so that the z axis numbers or measurements are correct or understandable? Is there a specific device for that? The device that uses mirrors? What would it be called? And to go further, how about 4D? How can a 3D map be converted into a 4D map that has specific coordinates and time in it?

Well, since I have to explain... in this case "spirit" refers to the representation of a being of higher consciousness into something that can be understood by the limited set of senses we have. If we were to witness the being in full-extra mode, our brains would melt by the sensory overload. Now, the old "woman" obviously can see more, but not all of it. Yet. Because she works hard to imprison a part of it, and soon she might gain the required information. Then, maybe the old "woman" would become a higher being too.

As for your dimensional question, the answer is: YES, by extrapolating the fallangies.

Yes, and everything in-between. But on the reverse. Damn it, just extrapolate them and stop worrying.

I'm all about extrapolating and not worrying. :D
