The effects of the phenomenon were nonsensical, improbable, and flaunted the known fundamentals of the universe. It didn't matter. It happened anyway. The majority simply winked out of existence - some slowly, their bodies unravelling like an old blanket, some quickly, flickering out like old TV static switched off at the mains. Some that Left were remembered; many more weren't. Some had their consequences of a life lived remain behind; many more didn't, and those consequences Left as well. Some left the memory of a hole, an absence known innately but unexplainable, measured only by shadows left behind. The Un-Made that remained made impression of their own. Warped, misshapen creatures, their resemblance to once-humans made them all the more horrifying, and they each displayed traits and foibles distinct from both every other iteration, and the metaphysical rules of the quantified universe. Around them, reality sags and bulges and bends and contorts, and in their wake they leave gnarled, distorted pockets where physics breaks down, time crashes into itself, and all things never-should and always-could collided in ways that spilled along streets and fields like oil along the surface of water, resting atop but never mixing. The Reals survive; truly, this is the one indomitable aspect of the human condition that even the un-writing of actuality failed to undo. They survive, and band together, and survive some more, always moving, always hoping, signposting those pockets and picking their way around the Un-Made. To what end, no-one is really certain, but then many weren't certain before natural law was turned inside-out; survival is for survival's stake, and this basal truth remains profoundly unaffected by the upheaval of order into chaos. The Reals [b]survive[/b]; there is simply no other way to be, and no-one else to do it for them.[hr]
