Burn the Sky is a blogpasta written by Omega, and can be read here. Its primary Fear is the Convocation.
The themes of Burn the Sky, while certainly not unusual, aren’t ones that we see a lot in the Fear Mythos, and I think that makes it interesting. Environmental concerns are very good for provoking guilt, which is its own special kind of horror.
The prose is interesting, too – it’s got a flavorful noir atmosphere, and the story is told through transcripts of emails, telephone conversations, journal entries, and newspaper articles. It’s very well-paced and economical. None of the posts felt out of place or unnecessary. It could perhaps have benefited from a little extra proofreading, but overall it’s a very, very solidly written blogpasta, and I recommend it highly.
