Exploration

After the man in the suit hung up, I got up and walked around, exploring my surroundings. I came upon an edge that was essentially just a cliff that was so tall, you couldn't see the bottom. Instead, you saw fog. I then turned around and started the other direction. Then, I got to what looked like, the same exact cliff. The only difference was the way the rocks looked. These rocks were mossy and covered with algae.

What if  this place is just one, big, circular platform? I mean, it would make sense. That would explain why there's a cliff on two of the four sides of this place.

So, I decided to start walking along the edge of the cliff, but then I stopped myself.

How will I know when I complete the circle if everything looks the same

I then went into the forest. I was looking for something that could act as a land mark. I don't think that I ever noticed how foreign this place really is. The plants look alien almost. There were flowers that were white with red on the inside. There were plants that looked like they could be carnivorous. But out of all of these strange things, I think the strangest was what looked to be like a flying rock. It was about the size of a head and had red moss on the bottom with a sparkly silver surface on top.

Slowly, I noticed that there were more of these rocks the farther I went into the jungle. Then, they started to increase in size. After a bit of walking, they got to the size of a boulder, just floating there, weightlessly. Then, I noticed that they weren't just floating. They were almost praising something. They lightly bobbed up and down, but rhythmically. All of them were in sync. Not just that, but they looked arranged in some sort of circle. When they bobbed up and down, they were also going into the circle a little bit too. Then, I saw it.
