MUXCY

He’s spent his whole life in the wheat fields of Aedes Elysiae. There are rivers and lakes, mountains and forests, and beneath the sun, the land turns to gold like alchemy.His parents are as healthy as ever, and the village is prospering in trade. There is nothing more that he could ask for in this idyllic world where all of his loved ones are happy.But sometimes, when night falls, he looks up at the twinkling cosmos and thinks that something’s missing. Nights like these, Phainon lies down, pillowed by wheat, pinned to the earth under the weight of the vast sky, watching the stars slowly and imperceptibly change, above him and without him.
