The Arms That Howl

A few years ago, one of a group of nameless fools asked me a question following a brief speech I gave concerning the Arms That Howl.

He smirked as he asked the jesting question, “So how do we save ourselves?”

I incinerated him at once. For his disrespect.

And because he asked the wrong question.

It is not a question of “salvation” with the One Realm Coming. This implies a notion that what you are, what humanity now sees itself as, could be preserved through & following such a discordant change.

How do you preserve communication when continents shatter? How do you keep morality when beasts consume your flesh? How could you maintain “civilization” when cities are gone from the Earth?

How any of this, when even Earth is no longer Earth?

No. There will come no salvation. Only mutation will occur. It may be that some humans will survive. But new beings they will become. Something more? Less? Elsewise entirely? Even I could not say.

Though I look forward to seeing it.

I may be the only one who does.
