Acostrob 254 Share Posted January 13, 2023 THE SHAPE OF THE NIGHTMARE TO COME Art by Paolo Girardi Such a sight could be spotted on the wall of a decrepit stone dwelling, deep under the ground. The gut wrenching mural portrayed a hole in the sky, darker than the northern nights with pus, gore and blood streaming from the inside. The fluids flowed, creating a putrid waterfall that drowned the land. Terrible, mangled jaws of bony serpents and other beasts rejoiced at the sight; celebrating, laughing, partaking in the end of the world with all their gluttonous hunger. In the corner of the wall there was a carving, a name. "THE SHAPE OF THE NIGHTMARE TO COME", along a date, 111 SA. This “art” seemed to come from a vision; a realization, an epiphany. It was the first of many. Similar works with the same title could be seen carved into planks, nailed to trees in rural areas of northern Almaris. A warning…? 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
