I've never heard of unwinding, at least not the way you make it sound. You might not be the only one. All sorts of people have met others from their worlds here.

[not_a_leviathan]

No, I'm not. I'd like to be no one special again.

[risetocaesar]

What's unwinding, anyway?

Retroactive abortion. Terminating someone's right to exist. Parents can do it for their children between the ages of thirteen and seventeen.

That's... horrible.

[To put it mildly.]

Why the hell would anyone allow that?

It was part of the treaty signed at the end of the Heartland War.

Who would agree on that?!

The Life Army and the Choice Brigade.

[He did ask.]

[risetocaesar]

Who are they? I've never heard of anything like them before.

The two sides in the Second American Civil War.

Seriously, this didn't happen for any of you?
