Yellow boulders line Aggressiveness. Cracked earth splits the sandy red ground. Ribbons of shallow river drift into rocks. Thorny shrubs slice passing skin. Rain pounds. Snow flurries. Snow presses into the rocks, slicks, and melts into the river. Aggressiveness has two seasons.
In summer, the heat weighs down travelers.
In winter, cold wind blows through every layer of clothing.
Travelers get lost in the Aggressive canyon.
Later, their bones bleach white.
On the edge of Aggressiveness, lies the rock city Anticipation. People cliff jump from Anticipation gliding down into Aggressiveness. They teeter on the cliff, then run and leap into the living wind, which captures them and steers them to a soft or hard land. They land in unexpected places.
"Everyone is welcome in Anticipation," says the Guide. "The spiral spire is a place of holidays and new beginnings."
"There are rooms, mazes, and libraries," says Miss Doe Friend. "So much to discover. I never tired of it, despite its red dusty atmosphere."
"No one has answers, only questions," says Miss Emeline Traveler.
There rooms filled with maps and tapestries depicting historic events.
"I loved the city, but disliked the long trek through Aggressiveness to get here," said Miss Doe Friend. "I later learned some visitors arrive by parachute or rafting through the underground river, but Emeline must have had good reason for declining those routes. We left by air balloon, as most do. They light the skies at night, lifting off and floating away to other lands in search of other cities with more to offer."
