Reading time : 2 hours


They need him to make another Earth. Can he?

Daiwik is trying to avoid his friends. So when he gets an email saying that they want him to make another Earth, he plays along. After contacting them he finds out that they are not human and the deal involves going to a distant planet. With just a vague idea of what he is signing up for, he agrees on an impulse.

Reaching his destination, he finds out that the currency on planet Trapezium is energy. The days are long and so are the nights. The clocks don't work the same way and familiarity is too much to ask for. There are no humans on the planet but there are plenty of places to go to and a lot of inhabitants to meet. As he learns more about his surroundings and about himself, he wonders whether he is the same. Is he?
