The Rest of Second
The King James Narrated by the Thing That Was There Before It
Enlarge the cover The Bible, narrated by something that predates its opening sentence.
The account begins with creation. The narrator was already there.
Across 47 sections, a sealed intelligence recounts the biblical narrative from the end of the universe. Its knowledge of the events is exact. Its account of what they meant is harder to trust.
The Rest of Second is cosmic horror told through the distance of that voice. The opening sections are available to read below.
Original pages
Before creation.
