Title: The Book of Beginning Chapter 1

from Richard Murray @HDdeviant

Immediately beyond the Circumshadow of Babel live the oldest villages from the Initial of Peace; a Common Man from a place, walked through a section of said villages, is at the edge of the Great Shadows Domain; no sound he usher, or make, starting to walk and walking to the center of said domain; he know Babel is the oldest place , the first place; the land it's shadow live on is absent all but rocks and metal and bone. The Common Man didn't have enough water for another to reach Babel, not enough food. But, the Common Man reached the base of Babel, in a month, waterless, foodless, tired, focused; a map and a goal is all the man have, and he began the climb. The ancient ruins labyrinth base still has fires while creaking. Hours later , the Common Man climb pathways made from channels interlocking old shafts, taking rests on loose angled debris. Days later, starving, still, exiting the shafts to the first residential area, the Common Man use the map to find the Public Pantry; passing, cracked multistoried apartments whose roofs are connected to the levels ceiling, in the shadows from above, make a section of a single weaving figure as a rorschach test wherever the eyes fall, he finally reaches the storage area by measuring his steps; success, he enter the old pantry, now a garden of mushrooms, and eats or gathers only what he knows to be safe; after a day to settle, he continue the climb through various hallways original or fabricated through chaos to the base of the Great Concourse, a spiral ramp once effective as a grand hybrid roadway or railway that exists through all levels upward; from the Course going upward, he see foreign while greater and greater structures on top of each other, in ever-increasing grandeur even undeniably decayed. After a month The Common Man found the summit, a flat landscape of uneven pebbles allowing him to see the sky anywhere across; he uses the map and measures where his prize may be.

Where is the technology that liberated humans fears, where is the thing made to change worlds.

After a seeming eternity of random steps the Common Man step on a remnant of his prize; it is a metallic skull , withered or inhuman, and a check inside proves two artificial tissues survived in tact , the Soul Tube plus the Neurosyn2026.

With the functional remains, the Common Man begin the journey downward, and the journey across, and the journey home, to make a leader for tomorrow.

WATN version
