Grace Perry, <strong>of</strong> Phoenix, Arizona metal band Landmine Marathon, decimates listeners with her incredible roar.<br />

Perry is a science fiction fan and incorporated elements <strong>of</strong> this world when creating her ideal space and envisioning<br />

what her life would be like within it.<br />

In a space limited to just 10 x 10 x 10 feet, the walls would need to be transparent for me, but mirrors to the outside<br />

world. I would use a futuristic projector to <strong>of</strong>fer an ample amount <strong>of</strong> possibilities for my artificial surroundings. The<br />

walls would have to be made <strong>of</strong> a material that could absorb and repel gravity at my convenience, allowing for space<br />

travel. I would be equipped to combat even the most treacherous intergalactic obstacles.<br />

The contents <strong>of</strong> the room would be minimal but critical. First, I would want a companion <strong>of</strong> some kind. Right now the<br />

only living creature inside my house, excluding myself, is my tortoise, Kitty. He unfortunately does not provide much<br />

entertainment, and to be stuck in such a small room with another person might lead to either murder or suicide. So my<br />

companion would be a dog, my childhood three-legged chihuahua named Samson, but with a bionic leg and a jet pack.<br />

Also, there would be a library <strong>of</strong> sci-fi/fantasy novels and a black leather-bound journal with infinite blank pages, along<br />

with a lead pencil that would never go dull. The floor would be grass and the light inside the room would not have a<br />

direct source. Finally, there would be no visual door <strong>of</strong> any kind, only a portal that opens periodically every few hours,<br />

leading to an unknown destination.<br />
