Description

"The lab managed to reconstruct this, the only known image of the explosion, now frozen in time-seal. The core has been stable for 32 years, but we're all living on borrowed time. One more shift in the wave and the stabilizers will collapse. Fortunately, the migration off the planet is nearly complete, as are the observation platforms ringing the system. We can soon start helping the Quanz off their satellites once we've completed our migration, now that their leadership has declared peace and settled on a suitable jump-planet." Having a bit of fun with this surrealistic Amberlight composition, and tweaked in Photoshop. Hope you like it.

That really blows my mind. The colour, intensity and surreal look to this moment. And I love your story too.

It looks like the time seal must have been deployed from the inside. Hence the sole humanoid figure caught in the explosion for the last 32 years. Whoever he is/was he seems to have sacrificed himself to give the people that additional time for escape. Neither dead nor alive in the classical sense - a suspended event if you will. He reminds me of the feline, Schrodinger, before the box is opened in the ancient game. This must be one of those places where the universe splits in two like a river with a boulder in its path. Then afterwards, re-merging in turbulence which might well spill itself out of the fabric of causality altogether. Maybe that's where his future - if you could call it that - lies. Maybe there.

Fascinating, and completely plausible projection of this narrative. I think I'll keep it. Thanks Clayton. Because that's exactly what's happening/happened/will happen/may have happened/never happened, here. Time-seal has its own quirky distortion ripples, as we all know, like that last hiccup, when cats no longer, ever existed.
