  Summary

  The eternal now, a period of time so small it would be measured in Planck units yet covering a period that paradoxically was both infinite and finite, was over. Origin had fulfilled its purpose. The nightmarish reality that the Sanguine butchers, Moebius, called a paradise has become undone.

  But for one boy the nightmare is only beginning.
