"I wake up surrounded by trees and mossy stones. What is the reason behind this? I don't recall ever coming here. There is beauty to appreciate here, waterfalls and ancient structures, but I need to leave. I don't know the path to home, how can I get out of here? I have to go before the dawn of the sun."

A Night in the Forest

"The sun is gone, I find myself lost here, with no sight of my home.
Guess I'll have to stay for a night in the forest. Alone in the darkness, the moon my only source of light.
Every sound so mysterious, bringing fear deep in me, it makes every second feel longer. What ought to be a relaxing experience has become fearsome, what dangerous creatures surround me?
Hopefully these sounds are just the tree branches dancing with the wind
The cold wind blowing on me, a soft drizzle on me, as I attempt to sleep.
I promise to rise along with the sun, and finally march towards my long way home."

"It's morning, I have been walking for a while, out of the forest, but still far from home. I found peculiar ice monoliths, and a giant crevice between the mountains.
With nowhere else to go, I ventured forth inside it, and to my surprise, a gentle creature with white fur and ragged clothes appeared to me. It seems to be a guardian of this area, without asking, it guided me towards my destination, finally out of these beautiful, but desolate landscapes, and inside a human-made structure. A giant stone temple, a gateway to civilization"

"Ancient writings and engravings on the wall, so fascinating, but incomprehensible to me. They decorate these dark halls, where my only light are luminescent fungi, and the light at the end of the tunnel. Seems so close, and yet so far, I carefully advance, minding my each step, eagerly following the light, like a moth."

Ruins of Purpuria

"Gray clouds move haphazardly on the dark sky, all I see is an old city in ruins. The sight is quite shocking, especially after just coming out the darkness, a dreadful atmosphere permeates the air, why do I find myself worried? I still don't remember the day before, and now that I'm forced to think about it, I don't quite remember anything else other than my basic human knowledge, is this what my town looked like? I found myself at another seemingly dead end, wondering about my own self. Where do I go from here?"

"A few kilometers from that old town in ruins, I see a modern landscape, skyscrapers and highways as far as the eye can see. There it's all rusty, all broken, with red vines growing over the inhabitated buildings, I don't know what happened here, but this all seems so familiar, I think I might be remembering something. It's a bit depressing to stay in a such a place, and even stranger, an endless amount of ashes is falling from the sky, and the city is covered in fog at a ground level, I can't see my feet up to my knees very well, I have so many questions, I have nowhere to go anyway, might as well just keep walking, exploring this necropolis, I might actually get somewhere this way."

"After walking for weeks, I finally made my first contact with other human beings, but it's not a pleasant feeling.
Dead bodies everywhere, desaturated and seemingly drained, the ground is dry, like a desert canyon, a horrifying sight to behold, houses in shambles, I walk inside one of them only to find expressionless people, standing... Just standing... They don't seem normal, I try to talk to them, but they only give short answers, some of them quite nonsensical, in every house I go, people like this is all I see.
An unsettling aura emanates through this city, as I hear people in monotone voices, exclaim in syncronization, "They came... They arrived... They're here...", I gaze upon their faces, and their eyes seem bigger, and their pupils diminish. I ask "Who came?" and they reply, seemingly unfazed, "The Flesh Children", what I then saw is something that gave me a feeling I can't even describe."

"The children are chanting, as the great one comes, pieces of flesh falling from the sky and merging with the ground, the buildings, everything turns into flesh, warm and full of nerves twitching. The flesh children have no eyes, the flesh mother has multiple, gaping holes forming under us. Drain your muscles, melt your bones, be absorbed by the flesh children. You're now one of them, those who've witnessed it lost their sanity. Bells and sirens, accompanied by screams, scratching rusty metal and the flesh flapping about. These are the sounds I'll hear everyday from now on."
