"Above" and "Under Above" planets' life and economy ups and downs.

Stairs to the to the above planet

I sometimes spend my time at my unfriendly friend Frendy's dimension. His world is bizarre as usual, anything can't surprise me this days.

We're in the main planet park, walking up and down, and here we are, at the center of his mother-planet. Yes, you heard it right - this planet has a center—try to imagine that. In the center, there is the Lake of Fortune.

Oh, and I forgot to mention a mini-tiny detail: if you look up, right above your head, you'll see another planet. It's so close you could take a stairway to the sky—the normal size stairs, even not the biggest one—and touch the ground of the planet Above.

"But I want to warn you: it's difficult for a biological body from this planet to be on the planet Above. So don't try it. It's not that easy breezy lemon squeezy.

However, non-biological entities can fall up and then down to the Above planet. And this happens so regularly that it's like how often I drink afternoon tea—which I do every Earthian day before, during and after afternoon. You can see benches from the park and trees scattered here and there on the Above planet ground.

Interplanetary rainstorm

Another phenomenon one can observe here some times - is the interplanetary rainstorm. Rain from the Above planet's atmosphere merges with the rain from the Under Above planet's atmosphere in a quirky way, such that the water can be used—but with caution—to swim in the sky. I usually swim in the skies in cloudless days in my dreams, but in reality, it's quite unusual.

There's a 22% chance you'll want to ask me: "Why is the lake called the Lake of Fortune?" And I'll answer with 100% certainty: "Glad you asked, it's an interesting funny bunny fact: The Under Above planet lives and prospers because of the Lake of Fortune. The thing is, the lake has become a kind of point of attraction for the citizens of Above. They toss their coins from Above, sending them through the interplanetary space—straight into the Lake of Fortune —most likely for luck or wishes. But nobody knows for sure.

Lake of Fortunes

These coins are made of precious materials, which you can use to buy anything you need from a third planet, which is a little bit far away—about 40 maxi stairways to the sky.

The government of the Under Above planet uses this money to run the Under Above planet and buy everything they need. So nobody does anything to produce anything, doesn't move a finger, not even a pinky finger. Life here was relaxed, like pancake sunbathing on a cloud pillow.

Until now.

There's a problem, which isn't so tiny-mini: it looks like there's an issue with Above planet's demographics—which means fewer people, which means fewer coins in the Lake of Fortune, which means fewer fortune for the Under Aboviense. Maybe it should start being called the Less Fortuned Lake.

Interplanetary placard

So, the Under Above government started to move fingers and brain-like structures they have in their heads. It heavy work exercises, i will say. But somehow they launched a big propaganda campaign to affect the situation on the Above planet, looks like it is only thing they can do. You'll see placards here and there, placed so that Aboviense could see them. They used the largest and most dramatic font they have: Cosmic Sans and also capslock:

So, I micro-believe it will be fine and dandy on my friend Frendy's planet, because I nano-believe Frendy, when he said it will be fine and dandy, he you know giga-believe in his government's propaganda.
