Amelia, the Hero-Making [Burger]

With a burst of light, that twisted reality unraveled. With a flash of teeth, I was swallowed whole by the Void. But with my death, the world twisted once more; matter mirrored, echoed, reformed. The clock unwound. And within that shattered spacetime, I was born - a spark of life forming where once was but an empty shell.

Only scant moments of my life before the Fractured Realm remained in my memories: A kind, gentle face, framed in locks of chestnut waves. My creator. I know not her name. I know little at all about that shrouded past. All I know is who and what I am: two words of the scant few uttered from that time, etched deep into my very soul.

I am Amelia. And I am a hamburger.
