《The book of forever》Interlude 1: The arrow which pierced the resting sky
Advertisement
The ground shook on a winters day cold born, the snow was falling yet in the distance, far enough that the snow could not yet graze, great noise emanates, something was changing. A face peeked out from a wooden cottage, a look of confusion, bewilderment. What was this thing which was piercing the sky, a trail of clouds and smoke in it’s coned wake. The ground shook, the air warmed, something heavensward. Shot, faster than anything they had seen. shot, a bullet to pierce the silent day. Shot, the hopes of the future lain before. Shot, they could not fail now, too much at stake.
Elsewhere, near where the rocket launched stood one, a hazy figure made of ashes, dreams, stood lingering, the hopes of many lost. Everyone succumbed to time one day, everyone which was human inside, yet, these hopes lingering so daintily, they did not diminish with time and age. The framework set by the past humans might, the skeleton created by the ones before, the engine scavenged from the scraps left old, and the knowledge, and hope which followed them. Those did not disappear, their hopes and dreams, they would come to fruition at this time. And so they flew… Far into the bright sky,
And so they flew…
And so they flew…
And so they flew…
Riding on a rocket of dreams…
“History rising from the ashes lost, A flame in our hearts, a phoenix pushes. What is hotter? Rocket flames, or bright hope? That hope which burns like a phoenix of dreams!”

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/
