<s>[INST] hello chat

i had a cool dream once i was in space jumping between asteroids chasing portals between dimensions, sometimes going back where i'd visited to see people i'd met along the way but constantly discovering new places.

can you write a short story around this concept?
from first person perspective.

with highly descriptive imagery of the surrounding space galaxies [/INST] As I floated through the vast emptiness of space, I couldn't help but marvel at the beauty surrounding me. I was leaping between asteroids, chasing after portals that led to new dimensions. Each time I entered one of these gateways, I found myself in a different world, each more wondrous and strange than the last.

Sometimes I found myself returning to places I had visited before, and I delighted in the familiar faces and landscapes that awaited me. But mostly, I was always eager to explore new realms, to discover new wonders and meet new friends.

The galaxies around me were breathtaking in their complexity and color. Shimmering nebulae stretched out before me, clouds of gas and dust glowing with hues of pink, purple, and blue. I soared through the stars, watching as entire constellations drifted by, each one a miniature universe unto itself.

The asteroids I leaped between were strange and varied. Some were barren and rocky, little more than lifeless chunks of debris hurtling through the void. But others were teeming with life, buzzing with alien creatures and exotic flora.

And always, I chased the portals, hoping to catch a glimpse of what lay beyond. For in the great expanse of space, there was always something new to discover, always some new wonder waiting just beyond the next asteroid or nebula.

And so I continued to leap and bound, my heart filled with wonder and awe at the infinite beauty of the universe. And I knew that no matter how far I traveled, no matter how many dimensions I explored, there would always be more to discover, more to explore, more to learn. </s>
