Dwindle was then small for his size,smaller then most of his people anyway In space on a planet called Fon he lived,Fon was an ancient race one in fact that was so ancient no one knew it's beginning ,they were not even a spacefaring race at all, they loved to stay on their own planet too, but in all generations comes one who seeks to go off planet, to seek out more then they were,to discover who they were in the universe .

Dwindle was such a person .
 

Dwindle knew  his own kind was not rich or poor either though , but he was somewhere in betweem,he then had a job like most did on his world,but his job was unique,different then most . Dwindle then was a painter ,a painter not like your average painter or one that paints houses or canvas,he painted  unigue things like buildings or temples,you see on his planet they worship gods,so every so often a temple is built to honor a God .
 

But Dwindle then was getting bored,he wanted more out of life more then being a painter . So the first step he had to take was get a spaceship,then from the right Authorities he would get permission to leave,to go off world . He always wanted more out of life,he knew there had to be more out of life , but he wouldn't find it on Fon that was for sure .
 

Then the  Authorities were then the  ruling government of Fon, anything they said you had to listen to or obey by , it was their laws .Then the  Authorities were a body of government run by thirteen people all the time ,no matter where you lived on Fon. Their laws were your laws . So arriving at the building of the Authorities Dwindle had to wait .Just getting here from his house took a trip, it was quite a ways from where he lived .

He smiled then and too ,thank gods for modern technology ,moving sidewalks and updated vehicles  to get from place to place made life easier .Even modern household items Dwindle could not believe he was about too go off world,on his first real adventure he ever took .
