Seven Days to Kill: the Old One

A slow-paced narrative, not a cool one. If you don't like it, you can skip it. This is a story of deceit, sacrifice, loss of identity and eternal duty. What readers feel is not a passionate victory, but a heavy, cold sadness with a hint of distant comfort. The protagonist loses himself in exchange for the possibility of continued survival of his loved ones and his kind, while he himself becomes the background and becomes an unknown part of the laws of the world. This is the embodiment of the core of the Cthulhu myth: in the cold universe, human struggle and sacrifice are both insignificant and contain tragic dignity. This is not a story about victory. This is an elegy about how human beings protect the last embers of civilization in a twisted posture in the face of doomed failure. Slow pace, relaxing,
