Just a Jump to the Left




HEADLINE:  IT'S JUST A JUMP TO THE LEFT




We live; we thrive. 

Everyone, please, take a moment to stop. 

Drop what you are presently doing, and look up. If you have a bag of Doritos at hand, hold it aloft, for a great thing has been done for each and every one of us. 

It is oft said that the key to a healthy body and mind is emotions, specifically joy. Sadness, depression, and general stress causes your body to not function as it should. Happiness, laughter, and love, all build up our bodies and help maintain a healthy immune system. That, in turn, allows us to be strong, stable, and resistant. This same principal was displayed by Engineer Zig during what we hope was the final battle against the Dark.

He strove to keep our emotions high in a time of great strife. He bid us to smile, laugh, and experience joy, thus, making the very magic about us stronger.

It was amid laughter and joy, that he uttered one final word, and ripped this world from where we once were. His magic, in his very blood, spilled that day, all the while, he held up strong. It was the core of something beyond a Blink. He had given his life to send not only the city, but everything out of our previous dimension. There are no questions, no theories, no... nothing. 

Inter-dimensional travel was confirmed before all of us.  

Now, what could all of this be? 

What world is this and what was it before? 

According to sources, this dimension he placed us within using his last breath was formerly dead. It was utterly wiped out by D-13, and because there was no life at all remaining, the Dark passed it up and moved on to another. That said, it was a place that held no Convergence. It was the perfect place for us to take root. 

There are some differences. We have regained some of the cities that  had been previously lost; seemingly reset to previous months. Some things are simply changed, but not too drastically. This dimension shares a great many similarities to our own, now lost, previous dimension. Some doors open in a different direction, though, that could even be a false memory, some hues upon tings are different, such as a previously red house is now blue. Observe each one of these changes and know it is because of a great man that you may see it at all.

So, what shall we do now? 

Live. Love, and be strong. 

Learn about what has transpired, and what has saved our lives, and our new dimension. Look upon the soil and know that it was once entirely dead; now feel the weight of your feet. Hold a Dorito up, and savor it, for you yet live to enjoy it.
