[WP] When you were a child, you hated your body. The human form was limiting and constrained you, and while you retained your true nature and incomprehensible knowledge, you lost access to your power.

[WP] Sci-fi always said teleportation would change things. Aliens would find us, or eldritch beings from in the void. Our bodies would adapt to the constant use. Humanity would have boundless energy. Yet it failed to mention one thing- that its invention would tear our societies themselves apart.

[WP] Personal teleportation destroyed us. Not as sci-fi predicted- attracting aliens or eldritch abominations to Earth, or changing us until we couldn't recognise ourselves. No- our downfall came from the way our new skill and human nature combined to destroy our society itself.

[WP] All you wanted was to get some shots of empty streets and show off to your peers with how you somehow managed to get the post-apocalypse aesthetic perfect- but in hindsight, dimension hopping and releasing a deadly virus to cause global quarantine there probably wasn't the best way to do it.

All you wanted to do was get some shots of empty streets so you could show off to your photography peers who'd never be able to get such a photo. In hindsight though, dimension hopping and releasing a deadly virus to instigate global quarantine might have been sliiiiiiight overkill.
