THE ORIGIN
FOLIO 000
01 / THE BEGINNINGTHE FIRST SOUND

A FICTIONAL HISTORY

Before words,
there was a sound.

A sound so enormous that no single letter could contain it.

The letters began combining to reproduce pieces of that sound. Those combinations became words. Words became sentences. Sentences became stories. Stories became civilization.

But civilization had forgotten why it existed in the first place.

02 / AN ATLAS OF MEANINGEVERY ROAD LEADS TO A QUESTION

WELCOME TO THE WORLD WITHIN THE WORD

A city you can get lost in.

There is a place for every letter here. There may even be a place for those who have not yet decided what they mean.

11 / FROM THE CREATOR

One child.
Some letter tiles.
A whole universe.

What began with a love of words and the worlds hidden inside them became The City of Alphabets, an original philosophical fantasy by Isaac Unklemoon Adam.

There is room here for music and myth, disagreement and belonging, comedy and wonder. And always for the question nobody thought to ask.
