(Based on a true story)
What I’m about to tell you happened to me in the late 90s, when my son Tomás, who was just a newborn, disappeared from his crib one night. It was the biggest scare of my life! The anguish in those moments is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone. I felt terror gripping my body within seconds as I couldn’t find him in his spacious and secure crib, a loving gift from my parents.
Tomy was a beautiful baby. In the family line, from great-grandparents to grandparents, black hair and brown eyes in various shades predominated, but brown eyes nonetheless. Only my paternal grandmother stood out with her beautiful and unforgettable blue eyes. My son, with his light blonde hair, green eyes, and radiant skin, was a true cherub. He still maintains that angelic look when he smiles at you and gazes at you with depth and affection.
Well, we enjoyed the precious gift of his company every day. I incorporated various activities into my daily routine that allowed me to spend several hours a week with my little one: bathing him, changing him, taking him away from his mother’s breast at night, rocking him until he burped, putting him to sleep, and finally laying him down in his crib. After he fell asleep, I would continue to check on him every few hours and bring him to his father in the early morning. The rest of the day, we operated with the …

I don’t know if you’re familiar with the strange events in Arauco’s Plaza de Armas, in southern Chile. With a population of around 35,000, located near sea level, with a pleasant climate in summer and a long, cold winter, the center of the square is located at coordinates 37° 14′ 46.6″ South and 73° 19′ 02.9″ West.
Well, at least I, Elliot Elizondo, have heard all sorts of stories about it, from the mysterious appearance of ghostly lights to people wandering around near midnight and never being seen again. That’s why I decided to go and see what was really going on. I went in early winter and was well-prepared, which caught a lot of attention at the airport due to the amount of equipment and meters I was carrying. I told them I was an investigator to reassure them.
I included several GPS readers, such as a portable Garmin tracker on which I could preload several maps of the area. Another model was a Garmin Foretrex 701 watch, ideal for my eyesight as its screen was larger and I could see it without my reading glasses. The watch could be paired with my smartphone, where I could receive alerts and notifications.
I also included a Vislone dosimeter to determine the ionizing radiation I could be exposed to; 2 Trifield electromagnetic field (EMF) detectors that would help me detect magnetic, electric, and radio (including microwave) radiations. These EMF detectors would simultaneously display all three fields on the …

In 2026, the world already had more than 150 million children born eight years prior, with genetic alterations in their DNA. They went through the same process that gave rise to superior intelligence in Homo sapiens because they had an increase in neural stem cells that transformed into neocortex neurons during development when they were embryos.
Another group of human beings, more than 900 million, according to estimates, from different countries around the world, suffered an unprecedented transformation. Studies were unable to determine the presence of any specific pattern that gave any clue as to why they all acquired Padgett Syndrome.
Jason Padgett reached his 30s as a bohemian and superficial person. On the night of September 13, 2002, during one of his usual binges, Jason suffered a violent assault on leaving the karaoke bar where he was, which caused him a brain concussion that was not adequately treated. During his recovery process, Jason developed an obsessive-compulsive disorder due to fear and trauma of what had happened. He isolated himself and didn’t want to go out with anyone. Jason began to notice that his view of the world through his eyes had changed: objects presented some shapes that he had not previously perceived, such as tangents, with lines like waves that intersected. Curious about what was happening to him, he discovered that they were fractals. He investigated until he found a news story about Daniel Tammet with Asperger’s and a genius in mathematics and linguistics. …

The Universal Order of Galaxies was evaluating the results of the «Evolution» missions. It decided to send a couple of representatives to give planet Earth the necessary knowledge for an unparalleled development of prosperity and justice for all human beings and biological entities.
This process had been applied to more than 10 billion galaxies in the last 5 thousand years. The Milky Way was another addition to the long list that they had to execute. In each case they achieved impressive results, accelerating evolutionary processes by up to 1,000 years. The joyful numbers confirmed their desire to continue covering the universe as much as possible. So far, they had 13%. More than 35 billion galaxies were uninhabited since they were the setting for the creation of experiments and primal tests.
“What happened at Roswell, Kasputin Yar, and Tungusnka we did not foresee.” Mor Aldor said, the commander-in-chief of the Terrum-666 quadrant to which Earth belonged.
“Commander,” said Serta Mei, president of the Order and director of the «Evolution» council, “and what could you propose to us so we don’t continue wasting more lives, time, and resources? After these missions, many others have been sent, at least 500, all of them unsuccessful. At most they have been able to analyze the local fauna, and some human beings and verify that the planet is heading towards a total collapse in almost most planes.”
