Layers

by Matt Morgan

Between the consciousness of mankind and the edge of Now are the Layers, on which dwell demons and angels, demi-gods and mobsters. Mankind has been aware of this since a little after the Rewinds pulled time back and forth too many times for the Gods not to notice. The Hellships are watching, Aka Manna is awaiting a chance for revenge. The gates of heaven have been locked. St Peters daughter, Angel, has the key in a brief case and is making her way through the layers to find the AI, Saliph, she needs help, mankind does, and she has a hope that the Cyber Gods are going to help. The Kid was just employed to open Probability Boxes with a spray can, he wasn’t expecting a demon and an Angel and a serial killer called Koel. Koel wasn’t expecting to find his soul, Uji, had made a deal with dark angels under Aka Manna’s employment, while playing Roulette, but shit happened fast when it started to happen. The Hoary one and the Celestial Fox are willing to turn a blind eye, who knows what the Ghost Koi is thinking, certainly not the Forever People, Letzu of the former Hive Mind is more concerned with Zoe, the cyber-whore that had been living on level 256 of PACMAN in an ’82 arcade machine, she was the Rewind source, forced into that role by the Girl with Stinging Nettle Eyes, living in the structures of the past and waiting for revenge on Stevabu, the snake that was coiled against the Edge. The Gods have got to watch, but they are busy watching their back. The owners of Eternity 2 are still reeling over the Trueones theft of their games to make his Universes. The Council of the Universes have called a meeting but the doors are closed. That leaves everything down to the new Gods, Talesin Vallis, the Dark Lord Matabu, and Billy B Savage, son of Cinnamon Wholesale, have no choice but to face whatever is coming, and it just so happens that everything is coming. Zoe has broken the seal of a probability box and entered a singularity. The dead vampire Noir has dropped himself into code and is preparing to bite an Eternal, while the Senarb of Void circle ever closer, sharks ready to feed on mankinds soon to be homeless souls.
