Spes Phthisica is a story of humanity's futures told in scraps and fragments, as if from bits of documents recovered after a great spance of time. It is eventually planned to include a time span of tens of thousands of years and several alternate timelines, but currently is just beginning.
Helen is an artist of the late 1850s, suffering a severe case of tuberculosis. She has recently begun to receive strange dreams of the distant future, perhaps some sort of message...
Spes Phthisica can be found here.
Tropes used in Spes Phthisica include:
- Dreaming of Things to Come
- Ice World / Grim Up North : The future seen in Helen's foretelling dreams, an iced-over future Earth where the Sun has dimmed dramatically.
- Mental Time Travel: Information (dreams, visions, images, messages) can travel back in time, but matter can't conservation of mass, and all...)
- The Night That Never Ends
- True Art Is Angsty : Helen's art only becomes popular when the dead landscapes of her dreams start entering into it
- Weird Moon : Huge, dim and reddish in the future, due to the dimmer sunlight and its being closer to the Earth
