The observatory was located in the middle of Rocken County. It was a small spherical shaped thing that housed most of the nerds and geeks in New Mexico. Surrounded by a pure dull desert and a lovely outlook to the gulf of Mexico, it was a place where people could just be people.
Where the geeks would dream of being something bigger and brighter. Wanting to evolve with space itself, to be more than normal humans with a multitude of neuron connections that can't even fathom what the universe is beside what we can see.
They dream of being more than a single speck compared to the universe. Wanting to dream beyond what there minds can come up with. Imagining a life on Mars or Venus or in another universe.
To be a lighting bolt longer than the milky way. Or the casual rain cloud that holds 140 trillion times more water than all of our oceans combined.
They just want to comparable to something so magnificent. They die wanting to be better, but are stuck in these bodies that hold them back from something extraordinary. Something exasperating.
Something to make a change that could spark a mass of events that could change humans as we know it.
