Summary
It begins like this.All things are connected, this will always be true.Dominos line up on a tabletop, threads are selected.Fear seeps into an unsuspecting world, leaks into another, horror after horror in mutual destruction, never ending discord thrumming through universes.Another domino is placed, the loom is being raised.All things are connected. A soul is tied to a door, a spirit sealed into a tome of skin.(They will never escape, their bodies rot away in unmarked graves, they never knew peace in their pointless lives)A car moves down a road, seconds from hitting a patch of ice, a pair of garden shears plunge into a chest cavity.A cancer eats away at a lung, a woman flays herself alive in her kitchen.An archivist dies. An Eye watches.(It’s always watching, always seeing, never ending as it consumes, the perfect voyeur, flawless in its monstrosity, an Archivist will always be dying, they will never be eternal)The dominos are shaking, the threads come closer as a tapestry is woven.A page burns.A man steps through a Door.Everything is connected.The first domino falls.-Set in the TMP timeline.
