AN INTRODUCTION
It has been a while since I recounted the story of when Alph imagined time. You may (or may not) remember that story was told to me by a potentially not-so-reliable Glitchen. I only relayed it. But that tale of the first "days" of Ur sparked in me a desire to learn more of the history of this world. Since then, I have gone to the far reaches and depths and heights of Ur in a search of some sort of truth. I planned one day to share these with everyone, once I had compiled them into something resembling coherence.
But that day, as you all now know, will never come.
On the final day of Zilleoween in the 25th year, the news of the coming of the Final UnImagining hit us like a ton of ignots. None of us know how The End will come. Perhaps the Rooks will pour forth and tear the world to shreds. Perhaps the Giants will come and swallow us whole. Perhaps the chickens will rise up and squeeze us. Perhaps we will just hear the sweet notes of Goodnight Groddle and everything will just fade. We don't know how, just that it is coming. So the time to keep these stories to myself have past.
In what time is left, I shall recount what I have experienced and learned. Some of these stories are my own. Some have been told to me second or third or twelfth hand. They will be short and scattered and in no particular order... as is fitting for these end days. I don't know what will become of all of us on the other side of the Final UnImagining. I can only that somehow and in some way these stories will resonate. I hope there is something to remember this world and its people and its stories.
