Introduction

 

These stories was an idea I came up with one evening when I was stoned and I started to think about how video game music would sound while in the altered mind state.

 

The original idea was “Stoned VGM: Video game music to zone to.” So I made a playlist of different background music that I thought would sound good while under the influence.

 

Since it’s only BGM and no lyrics, I had more freedom to dream up some imagery to go along with the music that was playing. The next day, I realized that I could write a story to go along with the playlist, kind of like a movie and a soundtrack.

 

The idea quickly turned into “Stoned Stories,” which would be a series of stories that chronicle fictional tales which I call, “Zones.”

A few different inspirations were used in the making of this series, but for the most part, these stories contain original ideas. The main concept was to take a group of essentially unrelated songs and build a story around them.

 

Being under the influence while creating these stories is not the source of the creativity used, as I am plenty creative as is. The influence adds another perspective to help with different ideas, kind of like having another person’s point of view. It also helps produce more vivid imagery.

 

When writing the stories, I wanted to make it for anyone and everyone. The stories are essentially told from YOUR perspective. Whether you are a boy or a girl, you can put yourself in the main role and also there are points in the stories where the main character is interacting with a significant other in which the story is told so that you can put whoever you want to fill that role.

 

I decided to change the title of the series to “Cosmic Space Zones” because it felt more fitting than “Stoned Stories,” even though these stories were originally meant to be experienced while under the influence.

 

All the same, these stories also double as “Sober” Stories. So as long as you have an active imagination, nothing will take away from the experience.

 

I’m not an aspiring film-maker, cinematographer, producer, director or anything like that. I would, however, like to work with other talented artists, illustrators, aspiring animators, musicians, etc. to help produce the next Cosmic Space Zones.
