Story:Ad Nihilo

Horrifying transience- we are as mayflies.

Prologue
It is only with a sense of great trepidation and anxiety that I find myself putting the words that you are about to read to paper. I shall warn you in advance that the following is all completely true but also that you shall not believe a single word of it, having not witnessed the horrifying events that I found myself caught up within. While I am unsure who will read this, or even if it shall be read, I feel I owe it to all thinking beings to attempt to pass on what I know. Please, even if you believe this story to be fantasy, send it out to all those you know and then, perhaps, we shall find ourselves more able to accept our true place and what is to come.

All we know of the universe, for all our science and technology, is of those things we can sense and those things that we know are affecting those we sense. I am asking you to read this piece and discover something that we cannot detect, or infer, or understand, though I shall tell you of what it shall do. I do not ask you to believe in anything but the singular entity of which I am speaking and that causes me to shudder as I even consider His name. I am not the first to know of Him, but those who believe in Him are entrenched deep within all races, and all cultures. When the time comes, the truth of what I say shall be seen.

And if it is too late, then I give you my sincerest apologies and commiserations, and I hope that it is quick.
