Deeptime Stories

"Softness overcomes the most formidable of strengths." A searing record of a boy's descent into the silent depths of frozen time. Beyond the petrified brilliance of 'Ivory' and the decaying darkness of 'Ebony' stands the 'Monolith'-a towering black obelisk rising from the threshold between two worlds. Adin, a boy who overflowed from the boundary of these realms, carries 'Solet' in his hands: the finest powder ground from the bones and time of parents who sacrificed everything. With every miracle he performs, a memory is consumed. This is the 'Incineration of Time.' To face the predatory truths hidden behind Ivory's deceptive peace, Adin must shed his fragile youth and rise as a man who will upend a cruel world.

MAN AFTER MAN by: Demonic Cube the original book: by Dougal Dixon An Account of Human Change this is just a comics all rights reserved to Dougal Dixon There must have been a time, long before memory, when creatures not yet fully human first lifted their eyes to the night sky. Above them lay patterns they could not name, movements they could not control. From these lights, meaning was imagined, and stories were born. Those stories did not guide them. Survival did. Across millions of years, climate shifted, continents moved, and familiar forests vanished. Each change reshaped the body as surely as it reshaped the land. Limbs lengthened or shortened. Teeth broadened or shrank. Posture altered, slowly and imperfectly, as natural selection favored only what endured. Humanity was never a single form. It was a succession of experiments. Some survived by clinging to trees. Others stepped hesitantly into open plains. Most failed. A few endured long enough to leave their bones behind-silent evidence of adaptation, compromise, and loss. This is not a story of progress. It is a record of change. And change does not stop.

A deeply unnerving short story about a superhero-supervillain esque battle questioning the existence of this book. You know, I just set out to do the impossible, write something to convince someone that I don't exist...
