One Day All This Will Be Yours

Nobody remembers how the Causality War started; that’s sort of the point. Humanity waged a temporal conflict so devastating that it fractured reality itself, leaving behind only fragmented memories and a profoundly altered timeline. The last remaining veteran, a nameless, battle-hardened time warrior, took it upon himself to end the cataclysm. He meticulously patched the temporal damage, not perfectly, but sufficiently to halt the fighting. Now, he lives in isolated exile at the literal end of time, safeguarding the last fragile remnants of existence. His self-appointed mission: to ensure the horrifying mistakes of the past are never repeated. But in a universe irrevocably scarred by paradox, where the echoes of a broken past constantly threaten to re-emerge, his solitary vigil might be the only thing standing between fragmented reality and utter annihilation. This mind-bending novella delves into profound questions of responsibility, memory, and the intricate, often terrifying, consequences of playing with time.
