Just read “Walking Dead” by Greg Rucka. It was one of the most compelling novels that I have ever read. The story captivates you and dares you to read to its heart stopping conclusion.

Boundless

The Unseen

In an age of technology and reason,there still are things with that do not easily fit into the order of the world. There is a comfort to knowing where to get food and clothes. Going to a doctor who can find what ails you and proscribe a treatment. And a comfort in knowing where to find information and entertainment. The mere thought of knowing something to is within reach is the main reason this kind of world works.

The other extreme is not knowing. If the tiniest bit of uncertainty creeps in the comfort levels go down. There is a basic fear of the not being able to survive without this foreknowledge. As one moves deeper into uncertainty fears turn into paranoia. Everyday occurances that once seem benign are now producing stress. The combination of paranoia and stress about prevent clear thought and lead to misconception. Acts of kindness such as helping someone with groceries become attempts to steal them. Gestures of friendship are perceived as attempts to take dominance . In essence,the individual elevated as the only truth, transcending others.

This is a complete inversion of society as a whole. In the absence of order, chaos defines life as cheap. Things we have now such as privacy and freedom do not mean anything.

The Blue Venus :A Modern Day Fairytale

Chapter One: The Fall

“One day the sky will light up with a thousand angels and the world will cease to be” -The Venusia Prophecies.

I had not understood that phrase so long ago,but now I do. After the destruction of the Arctic Star,the world was plunged into ruin. Temples were abandoned. Governments were dissolved. And the people lost faith in each other.

The only thing left in the dust were Warlords. These specially designed protectors became the new leaders. Their unique abilities to call forth creatures of unmatched power earned them status as lifegivers and deathdealers. Without the council to sate their desires, the people could not survive.

The people clung to a slim hope that the prophecy was somehow incomplete or unfinished. They live out their lives under the watch eye of capricious,ambivalent overseers. Yet every day was the same until now…

Our story begins here with the theft of sargos fruit. And a little girl with crystal blue eyes.

A merchant calls “Fresh Sargos ,only 200 quasi”

Another calls out “New synthesizers able to tend to your needs”

Amidst the crowd of merchants were streams of people looking for ways to make their life better. In the middle of the streams were peacemakers watching for trouble.

Children roamed in packs just looking for a good meal. They held onto what little they can take while staying out of sight. Celeste was working on a modified synthesizer when Rika and Ataru showed up.

The struggle

There I came upon a flightless bee. Away from where its safe and free. A bee without the wings to fly Fighting with all its strength to live Yet as time goes by it soon will die. Away from its home in the hive Away from the freedom of the skies. !

Insight on the The Alkemyst

The story is loosely based on the study on Alchemy,which was concerned with the properties of things in the world and how to change them. It was superseded by Chemistry which became a respectable science.

Though Alchemy was labeled by the majority of the world as a pseudo science. It is still a popular subject today.The story is about a mysterious man who appears when the world on the brink of destruction.

The connection to Buddhism is a loose one one the principle of change and a challenge to the positions held by many characters. It is also meant as a catalyst for the final confrontation. The story is still a work in progress and will go through many changes before the complete story is finished.
