Theory of … “Species x”
It’s dangerous across the water, don’t go to land.
No it’s not. I have practised, I can breath on ground too, it isn’t dangerous.
What if it is?
I’ll survive, we fight monsters everyday undersea, our next level of survival is going to be on land.
You are going to die.
No, you are.
Across the water, it discovered itself. It took different forms, it faced hell and heaven. Today, it took a form of Human, you, me, and everyone around us, is because of that species, challenged itself to change the world.
Theories are not stories, isn’t it?
The end.
Let's Question everything and it is your right. 
Oh I love a good evolutionary tale! Biology was my first favourite of the sciences. I can picture a pair of axolotl chatting away, tiny little fists on their hips 😆 super clever take on the prompt Simon!

Thanks to Yuval Noah and Jostein Gaarder. Their books were the enlightenment source, I was not a fan of biology, basically very poor with education. After I began reading books, my views towards life and education have changed a LOT. Thank you so much for the kind comment🥰 it’s cute to imagine Axolotl walking away 😅🥰 so lovely.

I know right! They’re adorable 😍I’ll have to look up those authors! have you read Michio Kaku’s novels? He writes science in such a thrilling and inclusive way, so those who don’t have a background in science can still enjoy the concepts and theories he covers.

Michio Kaku no I have not read their books. But I am adding them to my TBR list. 😍 recently added The Toilet seat book 😅 now I will add this one along with that. I love science, and I’m sure this will satisfy my hunger ☺️. Thanks for the recommendation 🥰

Cool story! Sometimes I think we might be better if that first ‘species x’ hadn’t moved up on land. But like you said, there were monsters down there as well.

Yes, that’s right. Our ancestors faced demons and hell. We are here, and lucky. Thanks to our brave ancestors being the reason for the dangerous monsters extinction, here we are – live on earth.
