Chapter 15: The world is a flat disk

Zain had known he'd get a strong reaction from anyone born in this primitive century, and he wasn't disappointed. Melisende stared at him, indignation in every line of her body.

"Do not be ridiculous. The world is a flat disk floating in a body of water, exactly as Thales of Miletus discovered centuries ago." Zain enjoyed each expression; each word she said to him dispelled his loneliness. He would have to look up this Thales of Miletus in his database because the human had made a big impact on his breeder. He should've gone back in time and killed that woumber before he could write on scrolls and impress Zain's breeder with false knowledge.

He crossed his arms. "The Earth is round, and it orbits around the sun."

"Orbit? You mean it circles the sun?" She laughed, almost doubling over. "That is so funny. I suppose you have a reason for this farfetched theory?"
