Janiculum
Collision at Janiculum lasts a triennium at a stretch, only to repeat. The god of Time confronts the Time Thief-Violator. Named for elimination, named to never exist. Janiculum, newly reformed, crumbles into broken stone and dust. (ZV) retaliates dividing Time’s ceaseless attacks into fractional fragments, searching for the moments the power is hers for the taking. Nothing lasts while everything continues.
Their confrontation falls into synchronicity across all that falls under Time’s sway. Galaxies perish. Time lines are erased. Different paths begin.
The three plunge to the “end” of Time. To the “beginning” of Time.
There aren’t any boundaries
Space exists. Time is. Necessity is.
The measurement of Time is a construct
Janiculum, a recurrence
The god and the goddess
At a standstill
The Oracle of the Peak has lived and died upon the rocky outcrop
Always remembering
Immobilized, bearing witness
‘now’ compels her mind
The Oracle’s body responds
She draws out the sacred knife from the Temple of Alcyeyx
A prick, a drop of blood smeared from tip to hilt
A silent prayer
The sacred knife is raised
The Oracle of the Peak leaps from the outcrop
THIS IS NOT THE DAY
Tale Spinning 
“Galaxies perish. Time lines are erased…The god and the goddess At a standstill…”
WOW!
I love how you space you sentences. I find the way you lay it all out physically on the page makes me feel the intensity and I am reading faster and faster dropping down line by line. Really great.
