Nothing Stays Still

The world didn’t end in fire. It began to change. After a global correction meant to stabilize the planet misfired, the land itself stopped holding steady. Weather turns without warning. Ground that once supported cities slowly breaks them apart. Places that feel safe never stay that way for long. Worse than the collapsing terrain are the changes in people. Some lose their fear. Some lose their memories. Others can’t survive routine or permanence without breaking down. No two adaptations are the same, and none of them come without a cost. Staying in one place too long is dangerous now. Stability makes people sick. Predictability erodes the mind. Those who live learn one rule quickly: movement is survival. A small traveling group moves from settlement to settlement, never lingering long enough to rot from the inside. Each place they enter has its own rules, its own bargains, and its own quiet ways of controlling who is allowed to stay. Safety is always temporary. Trust is expensive. Violence is often unavoidable. As they move, the group begins to realize the world isn’t simply broken — it’s still adjusting. The same system that reshaped the planet continues to correct, punish, and rebalance, treating humanity as just another unstable variable. There is no way back to how things were. There is only forward motion. In a world where nothing stays still, survival means knowing when to leave, who to leave behind, and how much of yourself you can afford to lose before the land takes the rest.
