From the Author
"This story is the first fractional piece of lore from my universe, Nihilian Effect. I started writing the overall story of Nihilian Effect at the age of twelve, and over the years, it has gone through many revisions and complete rewrites with the help of my friends and my wife, and it has expanded into something more compelling than I ever imagined. I wrote these shorter lore stories to be read standalone, but they are introductory pieces to a much larger puzzle. Expect much more to come. This universe is vast and still has plenty of room to grow.

The name Nihilian Effect has multiple meanings, but mostly it refers to the effects that loneliness and longing can have on anyone directly or indirectly and on a massive scale.

Nihilian Effect is my life's work and I hope you enjoy this small part of it as much as I do. "
