There’s a fire raging in the void, consuming the nothing between everything, expanding faster than the universe and coming for us. And here we are waging war.
Petulant children in their first steps of civilization, slinging rocks at one another, over boundaries imagined by a handful of dreamless men. There are forces larger than our understanding who regard us not with malicious intent but with something far worse - apathy. We are white feathers in a blizzard to them. They’d sooner crush us underfoot to get where they’re going and not even notice the splintering of our shell.
We’ll be biting each other's ears when they do.
