Earth is a cage.

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.

Young Kala grew up on the open grass plain with a spear in hand, 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 narrative of Kim and Kala is thought-provoking and touching, exploring the nature of our existence and cultural beliefs.

Join astronaut Kim as she travels through vivid hallucinations and reality, where many stories will intertwine with the cosmos. Will her mission reveal humanity's purpose or prove that humans are nothing but cosmic trash? 

Part 1 of this story will alternate between Kala's world and Kim's. Part 2 will start Kim's epic journey.

This story contains some bad language and several violent scenes, is metaphysical (based on some form of philosophy or system of thought), has some brief descriptions of nudity, and is unconventional, bold, and sometimes whimsical.
