| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, I once took some paper and wrote a story called "Old Terra". And oh god my english was very different back then. I was like 11 years old when I wrote this. But then I dropped the idea but today I decided that this story will come back, on this forum! The story involves many geologic times of the Earth but it also involves some human history (WW2, American Independence, Crusades... those things ). The intro of the story has a bizarre phrase. I laughed so much on this that I decided to put it here lol. I mean that part doesn't make sense. But without further a do, LET'S GO!Main Characters: -Matt -Victor (not me... duh) -Gordon (very fat) Old Terra Chapter 1, Part 1: Middle Jurassic, England *bip* *bip* It's 6:23 AM and Matt wakes up after his sleepless night. He changes its clothes, brush his teeth, takes breakfast, takes his schoolbag and leaves for school: "MATT" screams his aunt "you always forget to stop the alarm! >:( . But Matt already left. It's a great sunny day in Millau (A/N: I'll be honest. Millau is a city in France. In the south (but not so south, but in the center of the south ). He enters in his schoolbus with some other students of higher grades: "BONJOUR Matt! Comment sa va? (Hello (good morning) Matt, how is it going?)" says the driver. Matt responds and sits down in his usual place at the back of the bus. Matt lives on the countryside in a small village near Millau. So they have to cross the famous "Viaduc de Millau":![]() Almost an hour later, he arrives at school and meets his friends Gordon and Victor (A/N: Matt, Gordon and Victor are all American but they can speak french): "Hey Math!" says Victor, "Oy' responds Matt. They chit chat for awhile before the first bell rings. During recess Matt proposes to its friends: "Guys! What about you go to my house Friday? To try the Time Machine", "Okie dokie" responds Gordon and Victor. Matt told his friends about a small contraption, a thingy like a stopwatch, left by his disappeared father, that could take someone to different geological periods of the Earth. They don't believe at 100% in this time machine but they will Friday. It was Friday, and Gordon, Matt and Victor where in Matt's room: "Alright guys, here it is." says Matt. The stopwatch is quite big actually (size of a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge), it was a circular stopwatch like time machine, with numbers going from -4500 to +300. These are dates (in million years of course). 0 is of course present time and it also goes to the future. Matt shaked, he sneaked out into his father's super secret lab to get this stop watch. However the 2 other boys didn't. "Alright guys, are you ready?" said Matt. "Duh..." said Victor and Gordon "Alright 3..." "2..." said Victor "1..." said Gordon. Matt pushed the button and waited. The time machines seems to not work at all! "Pff... its just a stupid contraption" said Gordon. But then, a crack formed on the ceilling. Then it broke and a wormhole is revealed. The power and gravity was so intense that many thing in the room flown into the wormhole, one of these is Matt's Rhino Fire (a Nerf gun). "NOOOOOO. Not my..." said Matt before being absorbed by the wormhole along with his friends. They were absorbed into the wormhole (with Morgan Freeman?). They all screamed when suddenly. "KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" They all crash somwhere and then silence... Gordon wakes up after this event, he rubs his eyes and then takes a look around. He noticed bird like thingies flying overhead. They were pterosaurs. "Guys? GUYS!! GUUUUUUYYYYYSSSS!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!" The 2 other struggle after hearing Gordon and then woke up slowly. They look around them too, Victor rubs his eyes and Matt takes a look at his time machine. There was a map of the Earth in Orthographic projection on the stopwatch that showed the location and present locations of the continents. But here it changed: Africa, South America and North America were attached, Europe was a mess and the red dot (which showed their location) moved to what seems to be the UK (the map shows the political borders of countries at any time period after 3.5 billion years). Matt is shocked, they traveled in time!!! But they were somewhere were they weren't any dinosaurs. However, a crawling Cryptoclidus was spotted by the boys. The boys go to it: "LOOK" says Gordon "Its a Plesiosaur!" "Why hello there!" says Matt. The cryptoclidus crawls back into the sea and the boys follows (because... logic): "Hey! Wait!" screams Matt They start to follow the plesiosaur and swim. However this is a very VERY bad idea because in the seas, lurks sea monsters like Liopleurodon. Dun Dun DUUUUUUUUUNNNN... Few, that's it for now. This is just part one. As you wait for part 2 here is a YTP for you: https://youtu.be/jRFS10wzFbQ |
