Only that which must happen can happen
Only that which can happen does
For only that which happens is
What now has been
And always was
Chapter 1: It’s About Time
The smooth rock horizon rolls gently with the train, its rich reds stark against the contrast of a clear blue sky. Zed Zero appreciates the view all the more knowing what is to come. He looks around the comfortable train car at his fellow passengers, envious of their naivety. The innocent eyes that see an unspoiled world and dream of its persistence. They would only enjoy this precious state of being for so long. This is one of the reasons he likes to take the train. He likes to imagine who these people might become. How long might they hold onto this moment, before they are washed away with it, in the relentless stream of time.
