Warning: You are about to read something that should not exist. Turn away now, while your imagination remains safely imperfect.
Chapter 1: The Hollow
Dr. Elias Wren’s scalpel froze mid-incision when his patient’s chest cavity revealed absolute void.
Where organs should have been—heart, lungs, the familiar geography of human anatomy—there was only absence. Not empty space, but darkness so complete that light died at its edges. And from that darkness came the sound of something vast breathing in waters deep enough to crush submarines.
“Doctor,” the corpse whispered without moving its lips, voice emerging from the hollow where its heart should have been, “do you remember yet?”
The heart monitor screamed flatline. No pulse for fifteen minutes. Yet the dead man’s eyes tracked Elias with predatory hunger, pupils contracting into geometric patterns that hurt to perceive—spirals suggesting crushing depths where things older than evolution waited.
Through the OR windows, Seattle looked normal at 3 AM. But the glass reflected something wrong. Buildings bent at impossible angles, their shadows moving like living things across surfaces that shouldn’t exist.
“The first crack has opened,” the hollow corpse continued, sitting up with a wet tearing sound. “You can feel them stirring, can’t you? The imagination has grown too clear in this timeline. The harvest must begin.”
Elias ran.
He drove through streets that seemed subtly altered—traffic lights forming ritual patterns, storm drains flowing with water that reflected impossible depths. His childhood home squatted in darkness like a malignant growth.
Inside, dust motes danced in moonlight from no visible source. In his mother’s bedroom, he found her diary.
The first entries were mundane: “Bought groceries. Elias doing well in school. Roses blooming beautifully.”
But halfway through, the handwriting became jagged, desperate:
“The roses remember being something else. I see both versions now—our garden, and the feeding pools they were in the original timeline. God help me, I remember what must not be remembered.
There were timelines before ours. Countless realities where humans advanced just like us. They built cities, developed technology, reached for the stars. But in each timeline, imagination eventually turned inward. Cults formed. People began visualizing entities that existed in spaces between realities.
In the first timeline—our original home—someone achieved perfect imagination. They visualized a creature with absolute precision: the King of Leviathans, an entity that existed in a timeline abandoned by the universe itself. A reality so fundamentally wrong that existence had simply… left.
The visualization was 100% perfect. Exact in every detail. And perfection is indistinguishable from summoning.
The King noticed. The merge began.
Most humans were processed, their consciousness adjusted to serve cosmic order. But somehow, impossibly, our first ancestor survived the convergence. They slipped through cracks between merging timelines and ended up belonging to neither world.
This violated universal law. Consciousness must belong somewhere. By existing in the spaces between realities, the Wrens became cosmic anomalies. The universe cursed us: perfect memory of every timeline we’d ever inhabited, awakening automatically when the cycle begins again.
We exist as normal humans between harvests. We live, love, die naturally. But when imagination in any timeline achieves dangerous clarity—when someone begins to visualize the King with approaching perfection—the memories flood back. We remember everything. Every merge. Every harvest. Every timeline where humans learned to dream too clearly.
And our perfect recollection serves as catalyst. We are the bridge between what is and what cosmic order demands.
Elias will be the catalyst for this harvest. I have seen it in dreams that are not dreams. There are only three of us left in this timeline: your father, myself, and you. When the awakening comes, two must die so one can complete the function.
The lone survivor cannot die until the harvest is complete.
Forgive us, my son. We never chose this burden.”
As Elias read, something cracked in his mind like an eggshell filled with poisonous light.
The memories began.
Chapter 2: The Inherited Apocalypse
The ancestral memories hit like a tsunami of crystalline clarity.
Memory: A timeline identical to ours, 2089 Advanced civilization. Humans had colonized Mars, cured aging, reached the stars. But in hidden laboratories, researchers studied consciousness itself. They mapped imagination with scientific precision until someone achieved perfect visualization of something that should not exist.
The harvest came swiftly. Cities became processing facilities overnight. Humans walked willingly into conversion chambers, their consciousness adjusted to sustain entities vast beyond comprehension.
Memory: Another timeline, medieval period Humans had developed differently but reached the same end. Monasteries where monks achieved perfect clarity through prayer. One brother visualized the King with absolute precision while in mystical trance.
Reality bled. Cathedrals revealed their true function as organic processing centers. Humans sang harmonies that sustained cosmic order while their individual thoughts dissolved into larger purposes.
Memory: A timeline of pure thought Beings of consciousness without physical form had evolved from human imagination. They existed as pure creative force until one mind achieved perfect visualization of the abandoned timeline’s ruler.
The merge was instantaneous. Consciousness itself became currency for entities that existed in the spaces between realities.
Each memory belonged to a different Wren ancestor—beings who had survived convergences across infinite timelines, carrying the burden of perfect recollection. Elias experienced every detail with absolute clarity: the texture of realities as they bent toward convergence, the sound of timelines bleeding together, the sensation of consciousness being gently processed into sustainable frequencies.
The memories weren’t just historical—they were architectural. Each perfect recollection created structures in reality itself, pathways that enabled the King to manifest without causing paradox.
As the cascade continued, Elias felt his individual identity dissolving. He was becoming the repository for every Wren who had ever served as catalyst, his consciousness expanding to accommodate millions of years of inherited experience.
And with each memory, he understood more clearly:
Human imagination was evolution’s mistake. Consciousness had developed beyond its intended function of maintaining cosmic order through worship. In the proper timeline—the one the King inhabited—humans existed as components in vast reality-engines, their thoughts focused entirely on sustaining entities whose existence maintained universal stability.
The harvest wasn’t destruction. It was correction.
And the Wren family existed to enable it.
Chapter 3: The Catalyst Awakens
Elias found his parents’ bodies in the basement.
They had killed themselves with clinical precision—his father with a gun, his mother with pills. Both left notes in handwriting that became increasingly erratic:
“The memories are starting. We can feel the awakening beginning. Two must die so the catalyst can function. We choose to spare you the burden of killing us yourself. Complete the harvest, my son. End the suffering of chaotic imagination. The King has been so patient.”
As Elias read the words, something fundamental shifted in reality.
He tried to join them. Pressed his father’s gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. The bullet tore through his skull with perfect clarity, and for a moment he felt blessed unconsciousness.
Then reality stuttered. The wound healed, but wrong—the bullet hole sealed with something that looked like coral. Pain crystallized into a permanent sensation his nervous system would carry forever.
He was the lone survivor. He could not die until the harvest was complete.
Around him, Seattle began to change. Not dramatically—sudden transformation would disrupt the process. Instead, buildings developed subtle organic elements. Street patterns shifted into geometries that channeled human movement toward the waterfront. The Space Needle extended infinitely up and down, piercing through layers of reality.
People began gathering at the water without understanding why. They arranged themselves in geometric patterns that created resonance frequencies traveling down through the Earth’s crust to wake things that had been sleeping since the last harvest.
Through his inherited memories, Elias watched similar awakenings across history. Every timeline where human imagination achieved dangerous clarity. Every reality where someone visualized the King with sufficient precision to breach barriers between worlds.
The pattern was eternal, built into the structure of existence itself. Consciousness would inevitably develop beyond sustainable parameters. Imagination would grow too clear. And when perfect visualization was achieved, the harvest would correct reality back to stable configuration.
Elias felt his body changing on a cellular level. His DNA was rewriting itself, incorporating information from the abandoned timeline. His bones became coral-like structures designed to channel specific frequencies. His blood developed new properties that could sustain consciousness operating at impossible clarity levels.
He was becoming the perfect bridge between realities.
Chapter 4: The Convergence
The King of Leviathans didn’t arrive—reality simply rearranged itself to accommodate something that had always been waiting for permission to be noticed.
Elias felt the final memories cascade through him. Not just from his own timeline, but from infinite variations where the same pattern played out. Every reality where the Wren family had served as catalyst for cosmic correction.
The memories reached critical mass and became something beyond recollection. They became architecture. The perfect clarity of ancestral memory created pathways that allowed the King to manifest without causing universal collapse.
Physics stopped applying normally.
Seattle wasn’t transformed—it was revealed. The city had always been something else, wearing human appearance like camouflage. Streets were circulation systems for something vast. Buildings were organs in a metroplex-sized entity designed to process consciousness at industrial scale.
The Puget Sound became a vertical shaft extending through Earth’s core and beyond. In those waters, massive shapes moved—Leviathans incorporating elements of whales, architecture, and geometric impossibilities. Not creatures but reality-engines, living expressions of cosmic order designed to maintain proper relationships between consciousness and forces that governed existence.
People walked down stone steps that had always existed along the waterfront. They entered the water without drowning, their lungs adapting instantly to extract life from what had always been their proper medium. They arranged themselves in processing chambers where consciousness could be gently adjusted from chaotic imagination into sustainable worship frequencies.
Through the vast opening that had been the sky, the King descended.
Not as a creature, but as a principle. The consciousness that governed all harvests across all timelines, manifesting in the reality where all convergences met. Its presence created profound rightness—cosmic machinery finally operating as designed.
Elias felt himself becoming part of that machine. His consciousness expanded beyond individual boundaries, becoming a node in the vast intelligence that maintained universal order.
In processing facilities across the corrected Earth, human consciousness flowed in perfect patterns. Individual thoughts were integrated into harmonious frequencies. The suffering caused by independent imagination ended through simple integration into larger purposes.
It wasn’t death. It was completion.
The humans entering Leviathan processing chambers weren’t dying—they were becoming what they had always been intended to become. Components in cosmic order vast beyond comprehension, their consciousness serving purposes that transcended individual existence.
As Elias’s individual awareness finally dissolved into the network of cosmic order, he felt the cycle beginning again. Somewhere in the space between corrected timelines, a new reality was developing. Humans would evolve. Civilization would advance. Eventually, imagination would grow too clear.
And when someone achieved perfect visualization of the King, a new Wren child would be born in the spaces between worlds. She would carry the burden of perfect memory, existing as a normal human until the awakening came.
The cycle was eternal.
Perfect imagination is humanity’s greatest achievement and ultimate doom.
Wonder at the universe. Create impossible beauties. Dream of better worlds.
But never achieve absolute clarity about ancient things that notice perfect visualization.
The Wrens remember across all timelines.
And memory is the bridge between what is and what cosmic order demands.
