Description
What if traveling to the stars has nothing to do with planets and moons?
Kim has always had access to food and shelter; she grew up in a comfortable world. Yet she is wild. After graduating from high school, she enters The Branch and becomes a highly trained astronaut. Kim accepts a classified mission and is launched deep. However, she is not just the test pilot; she is also the test.
On a grass plain, a spear-wielding woman stands strong against the wind. But she is not wild. Her tribe does not worry about time and space; her people are innately connected to the universe. And Kala's adventure will violently choose her.
The dual storyline of Kim and Kala is thought-provoking and touching, delivering a poetic, playful, and occasionally satirical look at human nature and our place on Earth.
So follow Kim as she navigates intense experiences and profound philosophical questions. Will her mission reveal humanity's purpose or prove that humans are nothing more than cosmic trash?
Part 1 of this story will alternate between Kala's world and Kim's. Part 2 will start Kim's metaphysical journey.
This unconventional story contains some bad language, several violent scenes, and has some brief descriptions of nudity.
