@true_spirnit: All Tomorrows: The Star People put on a valiant front against the Qu in a cosmic war. Tragically they were defeated and were genetically morphed into horrors within human comprehension. No longer sentient, except for an unlucky few. The Mantelopes were one of the unlucky few to wander the planet forever changed. They retained their brilliant minds and sang beautifully. Their culture consisted of retelling the tragic history of grief, anger, frustration. Their cries of agony soon died out as their sentience wained. #alltomorrows #alltomorrowsbook #cmkoseman #bodyhorror #humanity #sciencefiction #fiction #speculativefiction #speculativeevolution #mantelope #qu #historicalfiction
