about

You stand at the end of a procession of your forebears: giants who march into the depths of a dark and endless cavern. They carry torches, but the line extends well past the point where you can distinguish anything more than shadows stuttering along the cave walls. In a solemn voice, the giant immediately in front of you begs you not to follow down below, but you are already in motion, moving up the line, incapable of stopping or looking back.

You clamber over increasingly difficult terrain until you reach a precipice and peer into a wide expanse of these torchbearers marching into the darkness.

"Not your place," says the giant, placing a massive hand on your shoulder. His hand is warm and comforting. "Not your time. Another tomb."

"Another corpse, but not yours."

He hands you his torch: an unwieldy staff that you struggle to hold aloft even using both hands. You notice the faint hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth as he nods, turns, and retakes his position at the end of the line. They march until you are unable to see them, and gradually the torch becomes less of a burden. You raise it to get a better view and wake, clutching a small wooden match, fully burnt.

Polar vortices entombing the countryside, year-round tornadoes cleaning the prairie. You were not meant to survive here. And for now you are stuck: in the vast forest that is doing its best to expel you. ... more
