Hope's Purpose
Tiny, unseen gods are rewriting us as they see fit; making us more and less than we once were. Changing us and the world as they move through it. Evolution demands that only the most fit survive. They have made us, but it is now up to us to decide who is fit. Will the living dead inheret the earth and mindlessly shamble over the ruins of everything that once made us great without ever understanding what it is that's at their feet? Will the Others rise above using their mishapen bodies to call upon the river to wash us away? Will the original human somehow prove to the makers that we are still deserving of this place? Will our creations take up the world we are forced to leave behind?
