(Animated) The end of all things
When the blade met her chest, it didn’t cut skin. It cut sequence. Her body stayed. Her time… didn’t. I watched her dissolve into events that hadn’t happened yet, into memories that belonged to people who never met her. I saw her death ripple into a child’s tears three continents away. I saw a predator die from hunger because the species of prey it was stalking vanished from causality. I saw a figure at the end of all things.
They chanted,
“Gången tar, men Gången ger.”
[Gången takes, but Gången gives.]
And I swear, all the life in the jungle flinched.
Leaves curled.
Insects dropped mid-flight.
All bioluminescence dimmed.
My heartbeat skipped backward--
light inside my own soul dimmed!
...
I ran.
I ran so hard the bones in my feet broke like stones.
