Aftermath of End

Sunrise is the favorite time of my day. Warm, sweet, honey-like, refreshing. My soul lightens up at the sight of the rising sun; I jump and enjoy the half bright sky. For a nature lover, the first beams of sunlight on happy green trees feel like tingling dew drops on skin. Oh look!

The egg is hatching, aww what a small little birdie! Strolling on the street, I realized that there’s a new tree at my usual retreat.

There’s something quietly calming about beginnings, yet there’s also a secret adrenaline rush hidden underneath the calm. Beginnings are like dawns, new hope, new chance and opportunity.

But what exists before dawn is night.

Oh.

The trees grow after the previous one’s rot.

The shell breaks for the chick to live.

The night ends for the sun to light up the day.

For something to start,

Something else must end.

Beginnings are aftermaths of ends.

This idea demanded a world of its own.

So, C.G. built one.

The series is titled “Aftermath of End” with the core thesis, that every beginning is an aftermath of end.

The first book in the series is “Chaos’s Inn”, following the story of Eisley, a chaotic teen who accidentally ends up in chaos’s inn.

Unable to find her way out, she enters a world full of flowers. As the story unfolds, Eisley wanders through part disturbing, part peaceful worlds to find her way back home. The worlds are abnormal in a strange way, no humans, speaking animals, speaking flora, some groundless, some floating. She ends up with a sack of realizations, stranded in a strange world with no humans.

Will she ever get back home? What did she realize? Who is Saoirse?

Oof.
