Plain text

While gathering mangoes and the chana grove, ten-year-old Asta discovered an old tree with a pitch-black hollow in its trunk, level with her head. She stepped inside and began a strange descent. There was no wind rushing past her ears and no weight in her body. She felt lighter than cotton, as if the very concept of gravity had vanished. After what felt like hours, she landed on something soft in a white, shimmering place. The sky here wasn't blue, but a sterile, flat white that stretched in every direction. She soon met Turacos, a bird whose red feathers stained her hand when rain hit them. He explained that his green color was fast, but the red was a natural pigment that simply washed off in water. Between the weightless fall and the bird's soluble feathers, Osta realized the rules of this realm were rooted in biology and physics, rather than the logic of a traditional fairy tale. The center of this society is divided into seven color-coded sectors, mirroring the layers of a rainbow. Each band serves a specific purpose, from the scientists in the violet bed to the laboratories in the green row dedicated to plant research. Life here is strictly managed. There is no natural wind. Citizens are identified by tracking numbers like Unicorn 9999-5745 and travel requires both fingerprint and cornea scans. However, the system has a flaw. In the Green Revelle, modified trees have begun to walk, and a few have successfully escaped the laboratory's control. This raises a question for Asta and her companions.
