August 2022 Fiction Contest: The Inevitable Game
August 10, 2022
Few can find one shred of sea glass in an abyss of sand and rocks. Just as few can control life, which death is a mere relative. If power ends life, what does it start? What will humans do to get it… and when they do...
What is life without power, and power over life?
The end goal…
What is it?
The grippy reach of capitalism is widespread. It’s coming, my love. We are chained and changed.
You can’t run anymore, it’s coming. No one can stop it.
Life.
Power.
Then death.
The endless, inescapable cycle.
Run.
-Your Disappointed Mother Earth
