The sun on that planet was different. It was not standing still… It was turning around the planet..
So first of all Inny found a place to live.. It was free.. For people who work..
The more you work the better place for living you get. So when you see a person with a rich apartment you know – he works a lot..
Inny got one bed in the room in an apartment. In that room there were also other people.. It was a women’s room.
***
Inny went to the street.. She went to the cafe where she heard jazz music.. It was a recording as real musical instruments were forbidden on that planet.. It was the decision of Beast, the ruler of that planet..
Inny entered the cafe..
«Good evening..» she said.
«Good evening,» the waiter answered.
«Which food do you have here?»
«We have the impressions.. Where would you like to go?»
«I want to go home..»
«I understand you… But unfortunately it is impossible… So where would you like to go, miss?»
«I want to go home..»
«I really understand you… Can I help you somehow?»
«Which options do you have?»
«We have three options.. You can go to the beach, to the forest or to the highest point of this planet.. What would you like choose?»
«I would like to go to the highest point of this planet..»
«Okay. Just give me three tickets and with these super-glasses I’ll send you to the highest point of this planet.. Just wear them.. You’ll see.»
It was just an illusion.. Just a movie you could watch..
«I don’t have any tickets.. I just came..»
«I see… Would you like to work with us? We have a vacant place..»
«Why not..»
«Great! See you tomorrow at 9:30.»
Inny went to the street..
«Oh. My. God. Where am I? What am I doing here??? It’s the biggest trap in the world..» And she started to cry..
«Dear lady, you can’t cry here…» it was Beast..
«But what can I do here?? I can’t do this.. I can’t do that..»
«Sit down, please.. I will tell you something..»
They sat on a bench.
«My name is Beast.. I am the ruler of this planet..» he was very handsome.. He differed from other citizens of that planet.. His beauty pulled in the attention.. Also he was very polite, and it was also very nice.. Ladies liked it…
And by the way, it was possible to make families on that planet… Just without kids..
«Nice to meet you. I’m Inny.»
«Inny.. I heard about you a lot.. You are a very nice and very kind person.. And you are very capable! Let me propose you a job you will love a lot.. You’ve never dreamt of such things.. Can I tell you?»
«I have nothing to lose..»
«Great. Inny, people on this planet act almost the same. They go to work, they go to sleep.. And it is forbidden to show any emotions here.. You can’t show happiness, you can’t show sadness.. You will hear that on your first working day…»
«I see. But why is it forbidden?»
«Good question. Very good.. Because it can upset someone.. For example, you walk down the street, you smile… And, for example, another person has a bad mood. Do you understand that it would upset him? He has no reason to smile..»
«Or, for example,» he continued, «you go and cry.. And someone is very happy. And you will upset him… You understand? We found something between… You can’t show any emotions except little smile. Also you can’t play musical instruments on our planet.. Because when you play musical instruments, it can raise someone’s mood.. But it is forbidden to be in a very good mood here.. Now you understand?»
«Interesting.. So which job do you want to offer, Mister Beast?»
«I want you to work in our government. I have a special post for you,» he was smiling a little bit. «It’s not the only planet I have created so far.. I have one more.. But it’s a secret. And you mustn’t tell it to anyone.. My second planet is called „Home“. There is lots of nature, animals, seas, rivers, lakes… There are several oceans.. That planet has no end.. If you go forward sooner or later you will come to the same point.. It’s a sphere.. And you can’t leave that planet.. That’s how I made it.. There are people on that planet.. They can do anything.. They can laugh.. They can cry… But.. Unfortunately they will never leave that planet.. They are very small when they get born, then they become bigger.. Then they become old and then they think that they die.. They think that it is the end of their life.. But then they start from the beginning.. And all the same.. Of course, they are not dying in fact.. But they have no idea about that.. After their „death“ they forget everything… There were several times when people made the wars there.. Some of them were fatal.. No one stayed alive.. But they continue doing that.. And no one can stop that… It is impossible, Inny.. So I send there some types of people… I don’t like people who don’t work… I don’t like people who work too much… I don’t like people who live against my rules.. I don’t like too clever people… I send them all to planet Home.. And I offer you a post. You will be responsible for sending people to planet Home.. If you agree, of course.. You will be the ruler of all that activity… You will have lots of power.. If you agree.. Do you want me to show you the station? It’s the place, from which we send the people..»
«Thank you… Not today.. Too much information for today.. I will go to sleep.. I need to think..»
«Is the week enough for you?»
«Yes. See you..»
«And one more thing, Inny.. You will have the best apartment if you agree..»
«Okay. Good night.»
«You too, Inny.. Don’t tell anyone our secret..»
And she left…
One more time she came to the edge of the planet..
«If I jump now… If I jump now, I will never fix anything… And I’ll have ignore everything that happens in this universe.. I can’t do it it like this.. Everything that happens happens because of me… And I should fix it.. It’s all because of me.. I need to do something.. It’s my responsibility.. So let’s do it!!!!! I’ll do it!!»
And she went home..
She was passing the «Store of bodies». And she saw some man, who was leaving that place.. It looked like he just took the body. It looked like he liked the body and he was thinking: «Very nice.. I look very nice..» And he put the dust out of the jacket..
Inny continued her way.. But something pulled her attention back..
«Luke?» she thought.
She continued her way..
She came to her bed and went to sleep.. «I hope in the morning I’ll laugh at it as it was a very funny dream..» she thought before she fell asleep..
***
Inny woke up.. There was a very loud noise on the whole planet… It was an alarm that meant that you need to wake up and to go to your job. It was for everyone.. At 8 in the morning..
«Oh no… I’m still here..»
And she started her way to work.
There were about 50 people in the apartment: men and women.. Everyone was getting ready for work.. There were about 10 doors in the hall: each one led to the bathroom..
