Day 2,067

Whatever they'd done down at the Brinkstone Corp. had messed up time itself for our entire region in a cataclysmic event that our town managed to sleep through. The rest of the area calls it by the date it other towns weren't so lucky.

We had the time to uncover where was affected, seal it off and study what life was doing there while Knoxward further south vanished entirely and Hither Henbeth is only here as a town occasionally but its mostly a few simple iron age cottages for most of the week. We can't even get close enough to see if our neighbours are there as the iron age folk think we're demons of some sort.

I can't say I blame them, poor lads don't know what's going on and we only know a scant more ourselves. We know enough to keep ourselves safe but not nearly enough to slow all this down or bring everyone back from whichever time they're now trapped in - if they're still alive at all.

The events are starting to spread throughout our town now. It may have started off with a few sheds and cars here and there but now the swimming pool is full or trees and the road where my auntie's car was is a large circle of strange looking plants and tall grass with something living there that don't like us and snatches birds from the sky too fast for the eye to see what it actually is.

Sooner or later 05/05 will spread to the entire region and then I guess it'll slowly (or quickly) make its way around the world until past, present and future are all happening at once and humanity is dead and alive and so torn apart we'll never be able to fix it.

Might even reach the stars at this rate.
