Conversations with a Timeless Observer
In the realm beyond time and space, an enigmatic entity exists – an observer from different dimensions who gazes upon Earth. This being, with no temporal presence of its own, traverses the world in a manner detached from the constraints of earthly time. Despite its passive stance and absence of intervention, this observer is burdened by the sorrow of human experiences and haunted by visions of events yet to unfold. In this contemplative narrative, we delve into conversations with this timeless observer, exploring their psyche, ethical dilemmas, and the profound impact of their existence.

Prologue: The Babe in the Woods
Lavinia’s toes scraped the ground with every slow stride she took. The skin around her tired lavender eyes glowed bright red against her porcelain complexion, looking puffy and lumpy and decidedly out of place on her otherwise flawless visage. She was so certain it would work this time. It should have worked. She’d completed every rite to the letter, followed every detail and done exactly what the Old Texts decreed: she’d fasted at the appropriate times, sacrificed to the appropriate Goddesses – twice – and endured the brutal mating ritual until she thought her body would break. And yet, despite all that hard work, agony, hope, and suffering… here she was in the exact same circumstance as before.
