And at the end of time,
her beauty was released upon us mere mortals.
Her hair was knowledge omniscient,
and her eyes passion transcendent,
We floated in the infinite vacuum incomprehensible of her presence.
The progenitor of the stars.
All things chaos and order incarnate.
Until we sought to tyrannize the lord of the void,
and omega was wrought upon us.
Excerpt from the Forsaking of Gaia, 42nd century AD
Found amongst the ruins of Terra in the Sol System

Past Lives
War made for odd couples. To Private Jim Mclellan, Sepp seemed a good man; better at least than some of the monsters he heard stories of deeper into the Reich. Real monsters. This Sepp almost reminded Jim of his uncle; the one from Wisconsin he met a few times at Weddings.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.
