Begin with The Sad Machine.

  1. The Sad Machine

    Entire nebulae will bow before you.

  2. The Apple

    The stars were turning into cosmic dust, the dust was turning into particles, the particles into quarks and the quarks into preons; only a couple seconds until the end of time.

  3. The Sons of Man

    And as the machines became silent, the war got louder.

  4. Long Live the Prince

    “Long live the prince!” the people chanted. “Long live the prince!” the King replied.

  5. Heartbeat

    Why do we keep going forward?

  7. Sleep is in love with Death

    A forbidden love lasting from the very beginning of life until the moment when the Universe will collapse back on herself.

  8. The Library

    What is this place?

  9. These words still exist

    [...] no matter how much time passes, or if I cease to exist, or if humanity as a whole does, my words will live on.

  10. Scorched

    And yet, the abyss will not relent till its hunger has been satisfied. Till the last of our words have been consumed and turned back into primordial chaos. It shan’t cease till the old and the new may fuse once more, at the end of time.

    Notes of a Deserter, 3026 Anno Domini

  11. The Kin of Rain

    Let us sing now, for the world was created anew.

  12. Indomitable

    The human spirit. How indomitable.
