My taxi driver said a child has no mind
But he is a God, until the cord is cut
And that is why he cries—
Because of what he suddenly isn't
—'043. Spare Tickets' by Erik Jensen
PERTURBED was the nature of this kingdom of hubris—planting itself on the map of the continent as it rose above mortal comprehension of what it meant to be. How can it be there when it was not meant to be there? How could it not struggle when it was meant to struggle? No matter what was thrown, no matter what war was declared and subsequently ended, it stood strong amongst the age of falling kingdoms and dying Gods. It was all due to their GOD-KING, the bearer of the mark that signified his ancient ascension into the heavenly throne and caused havoc in the balance amongst it all.
Gojo Satoru is this God—flattening enemies and rivals with a wave of his hand and a command of his tongue. But, this story isn't about him.
It's about mortals and almost-mortals, and death and how mere Divines like him could never understand that no matter how many times it's been explained to him.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Oh man, where do I begin?
Well, other than going M.I.A for two years, I have some stories for you all!
Getting into a relationship, having a messy breakup from said relationship, immediately devolving into a long depressive episode characterised by briefly becoming both an alcoholic AND an insomniac, needless to say—I am doing WAY better now.
But, I have not written anything, like, story-wise for many months and I did notice that my writing ability had seriously depleted, so, be prepared for the most amateurish piece of prose known to mankind. A magnus opus if you will.
No, seriously! Thank you so much for still reading whatever is on my profile, I won't guarantee regular updates, but, I hope that I may have brought back your interest in whatever dragged you here.
Hope you have the most loveliest of days, cheers and many hugs <3
After being hurt by the
world so much, they
began to see demons
within humans.
