APOCALYPSE ACCORDING TO ALPHA AND BETA (2019)

Apocalypse According to Alpha and Beta deals with an agonistic world in which there was a total separation between high and low human beings. The action takes place many generations after the segregation of peoples, profoundly altering the genetic code of the population, thus strengthening the physical characteristics of both. There are no longer "average" people integrated into society. There are no more people. Just giants and dwarfs, tall and short. Among the people, the war zone. Wasteland, Fallout, Ground Zero. Nothing. (Post-) Apocalypse, Ragnarök, Armageddon.

 

A great tree will grow on the site of the death of the Seventh Star and its leaves will be like the reflection of dew on morning springs. From its branches and twigs, 144,000 leaves will grow, and on them will be written the name of each of the Stars that reign over the sky at night, in a language that no one, one day, will be able to read.
