The veil between worlds grows thin—not by prophecy or permission, but by consequence. Those who follow the path it reveals do so at their peril, for what lies beyond is neither good nor evil, but something older, hungrier, and far less forgiving.
From the outside, American democracy looks less like a system of the people and more like a well-staged illusion. With Trump back in office and the machinery of power unchanged, the illusion of choice is fading. This piece explores the decline—not just of politics, but of belief itself.
