It also brings a colour that is wholly, impossibly new, a colour that bleeds into the soil, the water, the crops, and the minds of those who live on the land. The object quickly dissolves, leaving behind a bizarre, iridescent stain.
The well water runs sweet, and the crops grow to unnatural size… then the blooms begin to move, and the livestock twist into impossible shapes. The Gardners themselves start to change, their minds splintering as a terrible, thirsting presence seeps into their very flesh.
As the Gardner family begins to wither and change in ways that no doctor can explain, a nameless dread spreads outward from the blasted heath, poisoning everything it touches.
Drawn to investigate the strange, grey wasteland years later, a surveyor uncovers a story of creeping, inexplicable horror — a reminder that the universe is vast, ancient, and utterly indifferent to the fragile sanity of humankind.
Essential reading for those drawn to the prehistory of science fiction, this is a story about the limits of human perception and the terrifying possibility that the cosmos contains phenomena our senses were simply never built to comprehend. The colour is not obviously evil or malevolent, just… other.
Come, explore the place where proto-sci-fi meets organic nightmare.
Welcome to the farm.
Don’t drink the water.
