Over five billion years ago, in the vast expanse of the cosmos, a fleet of vessels embarked on a monumental mission-to sow the seeds of life across selected galaxies. Each spacecraft carried two artificial entities known as The Keepers, intricately designed to manipulate planetary physics and nurture the growth of diverse life forms. After more than 500 million years traversing space, one vessel breached the surface of a lifeless celestial body now known as Earth. The Keepers, along with their advanced technology, embarked on a journey to catalyze the evolution of life. Across epochs, The Keepers periodically awake, meticulously crafting Earth's tapestry of organic and biological life. Their pinnacle achievement was a superior intellectual life form, the climax of their intricate design. After a two-million-year slumber, The Keepers reawaken to find their vessel damaged and buried beneath Earth's crust. Undeterred, they persist in their mission, inspecting their biological crop-two-legged beings falling short of the envisioned model. A dilemma arises: their experiment hasn't yielded the intended superior life form. Facing setbacks, The Keepers, despite a damaged ship and imperfect creations, decide to halt time and history for the experiment. A new mandate challenges their initial mission, and Earth's fate hangs in the balance. The Keepers grapple with consequences and unexpected twists in their cosmic experiment set in motion billions of years ago. Anomaly delves into creation, evolution, and life's unpredictability. As The Keepers confront design limitations, they must decide whether to reshape their experiment or witness an uncontrollable destiny. The story unfolds against a damaged vessel buried within Earth, where ancient architects of life reckon with unintended cosmic consequences, playing the role of unwitting cosmic gods.

  • The Way It Is

10,000 years in the future, humanity has long since inhabited a region of space simply known as the "Habitable Zone of the Milky Way," or simply the "Habitable Zone." Many advancements have been made, though many are irrelevant to the billions - or perhaps more - of souls scattered across space. Everything operates under the silent, vague, but present scrutiny of the gods, with thaumaturgic talents dominating many human cultures in some capacity. Churches reign over the post-Altarum territories a century after the Silence. The World, at least as far as many within the Habitable Zone are concerned, is a cold, thoughtless plane of existence. It is within a single vessel, known as the CSS Groundskeeper, do things begin to influence the "Things To Be," as labeled by followers of the pantheon. Within this ship, two individuals will face the beginning of what is to be unimaginable horrors within an unforgiving universe, both with the same goal: do not succumb to the darkness. Trepidation: Act I is the first story in what is to be a much longer novel detailing the story of two individuals in the cold universe. Act I may contain disturbing content for some readers. Special thanks to Lilian (liliantherat@bsky.social) Elise S. (Seventh Bean) Colt Klassic C.W.K. Peregrine Nasturtium_K Chaz Shade For inspiration and your characters for novel adaptation. Trepidation, Act I and future acts, would not be possible without all of you. (I am awestruck at how well this has done. The read to vote ratio is something I never could have expected, and I thank both my friends and all new readers for current and continued support, even if the support is merely reading. Seriously, thank you.)
