thousand year retrospective.
in worlds past and forward
in worlds above and below
its inhabitants were only given one thing:
each other.
everything outside and in between had to be fashioned for themselves or taken forcibly,
desperate but necessary measures to make sense of the lives that they were given.
structures and rules whisked out of thin air, upheld to champion progress.
the night knows not of good, nor of evil.
past, nor present.
life and death.
chaos, order.
magic, science.
these are things arbitrary in fashion and function, lines so often blurred and lost upon the prying eyes of darkness.
we were only given one thing.
i was only given one thing.
it is never coming back.
