~ Chapter One ~
Welcome to the Universal Playground (UPG)
Dear readers, if you've made it this far, you're probably wondering what on Earth-or perhaps off Earth-is going on. What does it mean to be a lost soul? What exactly is this "cosmonautics" thing? And, most importantly, why should you listen to a mysterious voice that seems to know more about you than you do?
The answer to these questions is both simple and complicated-just like everything else in this universe. The truth is, we are all lost souls, each in our own peculiar way, drifting somewhere in the infinite cosmos of life. It doesn't matter how hard we try to follow a preset course, cling to an inner compass, or carve our path with logic and reason-in the end, we always find ourselves in some unknown place, one that surprises us, confuses us, and-if we're honest-makes us laugh a little too.
That's where this manual comes in.
