3 Dooms of America



Audio Book


Synopsis:

"Prophecy is not a prediction of tomorrow. It is a description of the doom contained within today." Three stories of the end of American society, from one Tuesday, the 11th of September into the near future. Shock & Awe: "At the end of this story, a baby will be born, and touch off an insurrection. Before that, a woman makes breakfast." The Greening of Blue England: "It took three-quarters of a ton of plastique to get rid of all the box stores in Taft Corners." Spider's Dreams: "The rose is still unfolding, a thousand petals and every one scribed with tragedy, with enough grief to end the world."

The Third Doom: Spider's Dreams

"What is the fear?" I asked.

I don’t know. I don’t know if I know in the dreams. I just always feel afraid. It’s this looming terror of impending catastrophe.”

“I don’t think catastrophe is impending anymore,” I said.

“Oh, it is, Lou,” she said. “It is. This is only a small step along the way, just a small thing. The rose is still unfolding, a thousand petals and every one scribed with tragedy, with enough grief to end the world. You want to know what the fear is? It’s that there is no seed at the center of this rose, the petals will just keep unfolding endlessly into the future.”
