Every story here starts from one question.
It fractures into worlds.
The last world is always new.
Enter anywhere.
How the engine works
SEED
The origin story. Always first. 500–1200 words, mythic and speculative.
ECHO
The same world, a radically different voice or perspective.
ROOT
The premise as ancient myth or parable. Same DNA, timeless register.
TRACE
A found artifact from inside the story world: report, field note, last entry.
FRACTAL
A new world grown from one extracted element. Always last.
