A pale angelic figure to the left and a golden one to the right, surrounded by floating eyes. In the middle, five floating death figures with hallows, a figure in blue with a golden hallow, a shadowy figure with wings.

GROWING UP AT THE END OF TIME

Just because reality is coming to an end doesn't me you can't make friends, find meaning, and overcome your traumas.

This story is inspired by my confusion and personal journey into adulthood at the turn of the Millennium.

Lyria and Caleb are a distorted reflection of myself. I was never prepared for civilization to endure. The extreme attributes of these characters are pulled directly from my own teenage overconfidence and anxiety.

The end of the world and the loss of everything they ever knew gives them a chance for a new beginning. As Lyria thinks after meeting Caleb, "The world is dying. Why not have a cozy home and watch it end while sipping lemonade on your porch?"

The answer is simple. We owe it to ourselves to survive, to grow up, to create within ourselves the lives we want.
