A dark, dramatic painting shows an older bearded man looming over a nude infant, biting into the child’s body as the child cries out in terror. The scene is rendered in warm browns and shadow, emphasizing violence, fear, and imbalance of power. Overlaid white text reads: “Waypoint 4.3—The Wombstone” and beneath it, “A Story of Flow Made Stone,” followed by the author name “K. L. Homme” and the website “noshortcutstonow.substack.com.” The image evokes the Greek myth of Cronus devouring his children and themes of authority, fear, and tyranny.
“My own morality. My own mind.
It’s the only thing that can stop me.”
This isn't strength.
It’s the voice of a ruler who has mistaken himself for the world.
Waypoint 4.3—The Wombstone is now live.
