Antarctica

The multimedia headcanon of my first concept album: Antarctica.

In the not-so-distant future, increasing global temperatures have reshaped the Earth, making 80% of the planet functionally uninhabitable. Wildfires, droughts, coastal flooding, and the ever-present heatwaves. Those who survive must either adapt to their dying homes or leave everything behind-for the New World.

While everywhere else burns, the forgotten continent of Antarctica unthaws from its frozen slumber. Flowers bloom, cities thrive, and people speak of a bottomless spring at the world's center. Beyond The Wall, this spring promises a peace unknown to the 21st century mind: sustainability, renewability, eternity.

It is no small feat to leave behind that which you know, even when it has become toxic. Even when a brighter future requires you to let it go. This series is about more than just the destruction of our world's climate. It is about the long journey to inner peace. The walls we must shatter. The ghosts we must allow.

If you enjoy the prose you find here, consider checking out my multi-media journal entries set in the world of this story: @parkergreenwoodmusic on Instagram and TikTok. The final culmination of this story will be in the form of a concept album that I am writing and producing myself. Find me on Spotify if you like integrating stories and music!
