Where Loyalties Lie by Ale Map

Prologue

Time is an unusual creature. Allowing humans to organize events and history. Time is intangible and yet we hold it as a fact, something that merely is.

According to the rules there is a past, a present, and a future. Flowing in a seemingly straightforward pattern but there is the speculation that time is purely relative. Relative meaning, that everything that can be seen or calculated is only recognizable from the angle it is observed at. Therefore, a banana can look like cheesecake and a hammer can look like my uncle Fred, all depending upon from where a person is in relation to the object.

Very trippy stuff and yet Einstein's theory of relativity has worked to explain the universe in a way that can be understood by humans. There is also the whole what goes up must come down idea that is taught to children from the time they lumber into their first science class.

But what happens when something doesn't come back down? What then?

What if all we know to be true, is simply not? Is the world going to explode? Will humanity cease to exist.?

But that won't happen. At least not until the universe collapses in on it's self. The funny thing about that being, there is a plane that is still waiting for their apple to come back around.

Ever heard of quantum physics. The theory of relativity doesn't apply on the quantum level.

So, what do you know? Science, as we are taught in school, is a sham. This leads to questions of a more supernatural nature. I mean, if the fruit finds that hang time is a great hobby, what else is possible?

Can humans join the apple in its freefall? Once all standards are disproved and discounted what type of rules do we go to in order to make sense of the world again?

After all, the universe has to make sense, doesn't it?
