I am the Alot of Space.
I hail from
an alternate dimension. We have no name for our dimension, but you can call it 'Craigslist -- Real Estate.' Many different creatures frolic happily in my homeland.
The
Upscales hold daily Up Contests, in which they leap into the air to see which
one is the uppest. The Upscale Area usually wins, but sometimes the Upscale District
and Upscale Lifestyle pull off an upset. Upscales make a sharp noise when they
up, so their contests resemble popcorn popping.
This deeply
upsets the Quiets. Every day, they try to shush the Upscales. Unfortunately, Quiets
are mute, so they can only silently wave their limbs. Sometimes they press
their fingers to their lips, but they can’t make any ‘shhh’ noises. Sometimes
the Very Quiets—the most energetic breed of Quiets—throw their bodies at the
Upscales. They bounce off like rubber balls bouncing off a wall, and the Up Contests
always go on uninterrupted.
The Great
Views love watching all of this. Views are all sedentary creatures, but the
Great Views are even lazier than the regular Views. Great Views live in the
bleachers by the Up Contest grounds. They view everything with their enormous,
all-seeing eyes, and laugh—but they laugh very quietly, so that even the Very Quiets
will leave them alone.
All of this
works, of course, because of the Good Neighborhoods. Good Neighborhoods are loving
and hardworking. They feed the Views, tend the sports injuries of the Upscales,
and pay attention to the otherwise neglected Quiets. Good Neighborhoods take
care of all the creatures of my homeland.
For my
part, I, the Alot of Space, represent those creatures as their
inter-dimensional ambassador.
We come in
peace.
Take me to
your real estate agent.
