Chapter XXII — The coming Race
Chapter XXII draws attention to the careful watch placed over the protagonist as he moves among the Vril-ya. Though welcomed with civility, he is never truly left alone. Aph-Lin or the boy Taee accompany him at nearly every turn, underscoring both a cultural wariness and an unspoken caution. Despite earlier assurances of discretion, Aph-Lin remains skeptical that the protagonist can fully control what he shares. The slightest detail about his world could inspire curiosity or fear. He begins to sense that…-

Chapter XXIII — The coming Race
Chapter XXIII unfolds with a subtle tension, as the narrator grapples with an uncomfortable truth—Zee’s affection for him is both overt and socially acceptable in her world. Yet for him, it feels overwhelming and out of step with everything he has known. Her father, Aph-Lin, treats her interest casually, viewing it as a personal decision not requiring interference. This absence of paternal concern surprises the narrator, who comes from a culture where courtship is typically restrained and gender…-

Chapter XXIV — The coming Race
Chapter XXIV begins not with sorrow, but with an invitation—a child requests Aph-Lin's presence at the funeral of a relative. I, sensing the weight of a possible encounter with Zee, ask to join. My motives are mixed: part curiosity, part avoidance, yet mostly driven by the chance to understand how this extraordinary society embraces something all living beings must face—death. Their tone, from the start, is not mournful. In place of grief, there is readiness. Death here is not shunned but welcomed,…-

Chapter XXVI — The coming Race
Chapter XXVI opens with a shift in tone as the narrator, once filled with awe, now feels an unsettling gloom that shadows every thought. His recent interaction with Zee has left him deeply reflective, not about romance, but about survival. Though the Vril-ya live in a realm of remarkable beauty and tranquility, their power hangs above him like a quiet threat. They do not intend cruelty, yet their abilities make resistance irrelevant. He realizes that kindness does not guarantee safety when authority comes…-

Chapter XXVII — The coming Race
Chapter XXVII brings a shift in atmosphere, as a simple desire for reflection turns into something more ominous. I had intended only a quiet walk with Taee, a soul whose youth made him easier to speak with than the dignified elders of his kind. Yet even in that, the lines between our worlds refused to blur. My suggestion to revisit the spot of my first descent was made with a calm curiosity. Taee, uncharacteristically serious, agreed without hesitation. His solemn nod told me something unknown was…-

Chapter XXVIII — The coming Race
Chapter XXVIII begins along a vast and quiet road where tension lies hidden beneath every word exchanged between Taee and the narrator. Though the path once led to wonder, it now holds the weight of finality. Taee speaks with calmness that unsettles, revealing that the community’s ruling has been handed down—termination, not as punishment, but as necessity. The logic of the Vril-ya is presented as unshakable, where preserving their social integrity overrides any sentiment. To them, one life means…-

Chapter XXIX — The coming Race
Chapter XXIX begins at a moment of quiet dread, when the narrator is stirred from sleep by the luminous presence of Zee. What follows is not just an escape from death but an exit from a world that has reshaped his understanding of progress, ethics, and love. As Zee's voice breaks the silence, the tension builds—not through noise or violence, but through the eerie calm of a society so advanced, its authority does not waver, even in enacting a quiet execution. The decision to eliminate the narrator was…-

Chapter I — Crome Yellow
Chapter I begins with Denis sitting in a slow-moving train, watching the countryside blur past in measured monotony. Each stop, marked by oddly named stations, becomes a quiet reminder of how unremarkable the journey has been so far. He doesn’t travel with excitement but with an undercurrent of fatigue, both physical and mental. His suitcase shuffles from one seat corner to another, not out of necessity but as a way to distract himself from the weight of wasted time. Thoughts swirl as he counts the…-

Chapter II — Crome Yellow
Chapter II introduces Denis’s arrival at Crome, a house that seems to breathe silence as he steps into its grand, empty halls. The stillness doesn’t discomfort him; rather, it invites reflection. Each room evokes a personality, a mood shaped by the invisible presence of those who have inhabited the space. His eyes move from paintings to furniture, noting how the past lingers in these carefully preserved corners. He finds amusement in imagining conversations that never happened, assigning thoughts and…-
