Voidrise

Written by David Mills

Narrated by Andrew Dale

"ARE THEY THE GODS?"

The Dwellers of the Rock.

They could create matter with the power of their minds. Any element, any molecule, any form; they could call it into being with a thought.

Even living flesh.

They could travel to the edge of their universe, without ships to carry them, and send their minds to visit other worlds without moving a step.

All knowledge and learning was theirs for the taking.

They never tired, never hungered. They had peace and purpose and, eventually, fulfilment.

And they knew where they would go when, at last, they died.

But then, the Beyonders came. Strange creatures, they were, lost and separated from their own reality.

The Dwellers rescued them, brought them back from the brink of death. They welcomed them and gave them the power to create matter for themselves.

And these strange creatures brought them destruction in return.
