It is the ultimate act of hubris to assume the primacy of one’s experienced reality. Each decision made expands the scope of existence into a multitude of new interwoven worlds, each with its own consciousness and destiny. As this tangled web of choice and fate swells in size, the universe’s ability to keep separate the threads of existence weakens and their cosmic tethers fray. Collapses can occur, with overlapping worlds breaching the vast yet infinitesimal divides between them. Mind and body alike are torn from their earthly bonds; bathed in the yellow haze of a mocking dawn. There is no greater terror than the realization that our existence lies at the mercy of the unknowable machinations of an indifferent universe.
