Fear and Loathing in a Cosmic Lacuna
December 39, 2025: It’s well into 2026 at the moment, but it feels like we’re in retrograde so I'm having a hard time advancing the year counter.

July 1, 2025: A wing of night sweeps the world, like the twitch of a vast shutter. Billions of pitch-dark non-minds idly steer their vacant gazes about. But there is no light to be found.
