You Will Be the Death of Me
100 Lyrics into Stories — No65
The ticking clock in front of Alyn spoke of a world ending.
In the past, it had been an hourglass with golden sands — but that had been Before.
Before the Rising.
The Rising had heralded all sorts of machines, resulting in a world that didn’t know what it wanted to be. Machina walked side by side with people of all kinds.
This world hadn’t been what the Grandmaster had planned.
But even an all-powerful being like him could not have foreseen everything that would come to pass.
Alyn closed her eyes as the clock continued to tick down, slowly.
