ABZU

'Return. Complete Convergence.' In the shadow of ecological collapse and corporate feudalism, bruised idealists chase meaning through time. At the heart of it all lies Convergence—a spatiotemporal juncture of uncertain proportions, humanity's last chance... or its final undoing. Blending the metaphysical resonance of Dune and The Hyperion Cantos with the haunting techno-mysticism of Blade Runner and Horizon: Zero Dawn, ABZU is a labyrinthine exploration of what it means to be human—where truth is mutable, the unknown sacred, and the price of transcendence, fathomless. New chapters on Tuesdays (day job and "touch of the 'tism" permitting 😅) BEFORE YOU READ: ABZU is not a casual read; it’s a million-piece puzzle with no reference image. You’ll pick up pieces that don’t seem to fit, only to realise—chapters later—they were essential all along. This is a slow-burning work of British science fiction, written to be layered and cumulative rather than immediate. It rewards attention and trust, revealing its full shape only at the end. If that’s your kind of story, you're in the right place. Furthermore, by the nature of the story being a complex narrative in active development, consider each chapter a new iteration—the latest upload of a draft in flux. What you read today may shift, transform, or converge (pun intended) as ABZU moves toward its final form. Your patience and support through this creative process are deeply appreciated.
