*Crying* I like this story better, less things to fix! Anyways, I'm not posting this until the entire story is completed, so I can't do my ADHD thing where I scream at you for not reviewing and then walk off to entertain myself with some other creative outlet by drawing endless amounts of my own fan-work.
(cough) Anyways, the narrator is Helena. Didn't particularly care about suspension in this story.
This story is a revision of my old story I Dream of Freedom.
I get to elaborate, yay! I never owned IZ, never will own IZ, and will probably die the not-owner of IZ.
Yes, House of Leaves reference...
Rated M for Yuri, character death, language, and some bad mental images.
The Common Prologue
Narrator
Do not read this.
This is the completely true and horrific account of an event that happened millions of years before you were born. It will happen again as it is written. You have been lied to your entire life, but I am here to teach you about our ancestors and how all things are doomed to repeat themselves.
First of all, aliens exist.
Second of all, there is no such thing as a painless death.
Third of all, there is no Hell, only the world you inhabit.
Finally, and most importantly: The world as you knew it, is ending.
Did I get your attention?
Yes, the world that you love will be ending very soon, and replaced with a wasteland so barren and despaired that you will wish for death to come and smite you to the earth. It will not come through a nuclear war or a stock market crash. It will not be the result of an alien invasion or the internet shutting off.
It all starts with the events that conspire not on Earth, but on a civilization just as forsaken and dead
and their people have received this same account that I entrusted into their archives for millions of years, because the longer you deny anything is happening, the longer you survive.
You do not want to survive when it happens...
From the second you finish reading this sentence, you have twelve years to live.
You cannot redeem yourself.
There is no repentance from this cycle, there is no ending.
There is only death.
