The winged letters fluttered like little birds over the cobbled road. Every year, the school sent invitations to promising youths. Often, they would summon an unsuspecting ordinary child. A surprise. A miracle.

None of them moved towards me.

So I stole one.

A movie poster for "CARGO", depicting a sunset with two crescent moons in the sky. In the foreground are silohettes of two people, only their arms visible, their pinky fingers grasping each other tightly. The arm on the left is thinner and has four fingers. The arm on the right is of average proportions and has five fingers. The top of the poster reads "A match made in space. While stealing things." Below the name "CARGO", there is smaller writing in an alien language, presumably the title translated. At the bottom of the poster, the credits section is as follows: CATHERINE WINTERS AND COREWARD BAKER PRODUCTIONS LTD PRESENT A CATHERINE WINTERS NOVEL ‘CARGO’ STARRING TAI OF MICAPA THYLLIS CHAUMEDEROT TALATAGARI QUIRIN TALATAGARI ANENTO FRANK THE CAT JEREL BESKROS CHOST MOL RAZIK FEATURING COOL MOSS ABOVE STILL WATER AND INTRODUCING CLARKE SHIPS BY SETEBO-URANQ AND CONSTANT VERIDITY INTERSTELLAR COSTUMES BY UPPER CORE ATELIER “HUMAN” CREATURE EFFECTS BY 3.8 BILLION YEARS OF EVOLUTION CASTING BY THE TRADE AUTHORITY EXECUTIVE PRODUCER CATHERINE WINTERS DIRECTED BY CATHERINE WINTERS WRITTEN BY CATHERINE WINTERS

Provisional cover for Continuum: Disunion. A spacecraft, out of fuel and airspeed, struggles toward the Edge of the Upper World.

Text image: A summary of Continuum: Disunion. Medtai Josiah Smith and the Biomechannus Ha’k flee the destruction of their revolution by the despotic Confederation government. They escape to an unexplored world, devastated by an ancient cataclysm, inhabited by aliens who understand human history better than the humans. They are pursued by the Confederation, the survivors of the Revolution, and the powerful, mysterious Council. Creation has a Law. The confrontation on the unexplored world is humanity’s last chance to comply or face extinction, as even the name of the species is lost to history. An even more devastating crisis arises as the Council, faced with exposure of its unthinkable crimes, contemplates a far greater crime--a "thought experiment", called Disunion.

A "concept board" for the story Continuum: Disunion. Treacherous massacre, terrifying places on a unknown world, meeting "others", final catastrophe. A guide to the subjects, and a snip of alien poetry about humanity.

An excerpt from Continuum: Disunion. "The Commander" loses hope. He sighed deeply. The women turned to look at him, but were obviously unable to interpret the external signs of his distress. He swayed slightly, retracted his head briefly. He was suffering from one of the most desperate emotions—hopelessness. [Josiah and Cajobi Smith are dead, and the Revolution is lost. There will never be another Elder—there has not been any for centuries—] to give him the Knowledge of Ages, to teach him how to carry on. Every reason he had to continue the struggle was gone.

Made from non-AI free stock images. This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections: 1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads: "How much would you pay to die with a smile?" The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background. 2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word. 3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom, in smaller capital letters, it says: "A Novel by B VAN BODEGOM"

BLACK MIRROR × SEVERANCE × THE GOOD PLACE

Having a happy death is a luxury service for the rich and Wren is the rising top salesman—until a cynical coworker and a depressed billionaire force him to rethink it all in a world where even your last smile has a price tag.

Neither spoke as Elias bypassed the security protocol on the keypad. The metal hatch shuddered as it unlocked, slinking back to hidden panels in the wall. They cleared the first few floors with carrion precision, methodical as Dermestidae stripping a carcass to bone. In Elias's imagination, the gore thinned into something vaster—a time-lapse unraveling the ruin from above. Wordlessly, corridors were scoured to nothing as he and Jack moved like insects beneath an overhead lens. As the hours dissolved, their work became abstracted into a cold anatomy, intimacy pared away as cleanly as flesh from the frame until only the architecture of survival remained. When Jack hacked into the collapsed doorway to the next stairwell, Elias marveled at the contradiction-how those same brutal hands had, only that morning, traced him with the delicacy of a scalpel.
