★ A Satire Wrapped in Myth & Allegory ★
The Day Life Quit
Synopsis
Life, appearing as a teenage girl exhausted by the weight of her existence, has quit. As a result, the world has paused: flowers hold their breath, star nurseries go dim, and a heavy silence settles over maternity wards and greenhouses alike.
While nations trade blame and markets struggle to price the end of all beginnings, mythic entities and celestial bodies descend with theories, bargains, and prayers. Some demand answers, but Life only wants honesty. To prove she made the right choice, she travels the globe seeking a path forward, accompanied by a mysterious dog and a cosmic entity known as the Narrator.
Will she return to her post, or leave us to our own peril?
