QUOTE: "ARKTALUS" FROM EVENFALL OF THE HELICAL (A.GLASS 2022)
"Nearing the entrance, to which appears as a snapshot of an era and place that has materialized from the annals of time, within all of its surreality, but this small stretch of street is a familiarity to the citizens of Arktalus who frequently visit the underground park. Made up of early 20th century Victorian style and Art Deco building designs of the nineteen twenties, meticulously reconstructed to look like what it once did two hundred years ago. Tadri, pauses before entering the park, she feels a cold wind blow in from the South West, which is unusual, due to the fixed temperature stabilizers that are always set on to a pleasant range, compared to the erratic climate outside from its dome that Arktalus endures. She looks up at the large semicircle viewer that resides above fixed onto Low-Line ceiling. What was once reflecting the clear skies above has now darkened. “A gray cloud,” Tadri remarks to herself, as she walks onward towards San Francisco Town. She enters the recreated street, sparse with lockdowns that have occurred throughout the other sectors of the park due to a viral detection. Tadri passes by small shops which hold a resonance of an early 21st century predated aspirations within its historic snapshot of nearly five hundred years of yore before the Great Decline and War that followed shortly after. She stops at a small café where an elderly woman is sitting at a small table, drinking a coffee. The aged woman turns and smiles at Tadri as she continues to walks past, reciprocating with a smile, Tadri watches the older woman turn her head slowly and stare blankly ahead."
