Alvin, the son of Gerson, held an event commemorating Gerson's birthday recently.
Despite Gerson having passed away, his spirit lives on in the town.
Alvin read aloud to dozens of townspeople an original manuscript
of the Lord of the Hammer story that gained wide acclaim outside Hometown.
The story was beautiful. Once Alvin had finished, he gave us a short lesson on how Gerson's stories have affected many lives,
lives of humans and monsters, of anyone around the world,
and the unity that fiction can bring.
He reminded us of the imagery from the opening of the story, in which it is explained that a great apple tree watches over every kingdom.
"Stories," Alvin said, "are like a tree that unites us all."
After everything had concluded, I felt quite inspired to create my own story.
Return home.
I also recalled Asriel's story. That video game he never got around to finishing.
