Having escaped their pages, many wild books roam history now. Venomous plot threads ensnare the unlucky, turn their lives into narratives.
History does not repeat but rhyme, in fact it hates to throw away a good rhyme and will force the issue if necessary

A fictional history of the kingdom, set in the future. A new passage-↵↵This is the beginning. I rule you now. The following is my command.
The future is set in stone. The past, not so much. Having given up on change, we furiously rewrite history in search for telos and hope.
While we puzzle together Earth’s fake history and struggle with the Fermi paradox, they watch from afar and howl with inaudible laughter.

everyone under the age of 60— was traditionally a ceremonial, sacred
gesture; its history can be traced to ancient Greece and Rome. In the
Middle Ages, a vassal paid homage to his lord by kissing his hand. By
the 19th century, hand kissing had been reinvented to convey a man’s
gallantry and politesse toward a woman. Those men who still practice it
today know the rules: never kiss a gloved hand or … ⌘ Read more
