Ring around the rosie,
Pocket full a' posies,
Ashes, Ashes
We all fell down.
---
The World was vibrant once. It was a thing of so much beauty, the Earth, that some beloved men and women would spend the liveliest days of their youths trying to capture just a piece of its majesty with paints and inks and film.
It was a place of wondrous music; there were beasts and birds who howled, cooed, and called, who sang their songs beneath the silver-white still of a luminous moon.
It was a place of grandmother-bakers and the decadent spells they wove with their confectionery magics for their children, and their children's children. It was a place of life, and of love. And it was magnificent.
But all things must come to an end, and so it did. That world, the World That Was, died in a blaze that burnt the black from the dirt and bleached the sky as white as the so-clean bones beneath it. And when that world fell, its rules and its laws were overthrown too - the governance of Father Time and Mother Nature lies amongst the ashes at the feet of what remains.
And what does remain?
An unruly place, an impossible place where the dead might walk and their spirits may speak. A hard place of savagery, of unrest, of avarice; a place where murderers and scavengers make their homes. A place of mysticism and ruin, of superstition and predation. A twisted place. An ugly place.
The World That Is.
These are the stories of its victims and its champions - the survivors, the scroungers, the killers and the dreamers.
---
Who: Sister, Chess, Treble, and a cast of characters across 9 short stories+*.
What: An ambient collection of post-apocalyptic shorts. Add equal parts desperation, dying, and poetry to 2 parts sand. Shake well.
Where: The World That Is, an unforgiving setting of blasted and wasting landscapes, unexplainable phenomena, and unfettered human squalor.
Why: Well, why not?
When: Now.
How: Take the plunge and hand over your dollars! Any other questions?
(*Secret bonus content?!)
