Chapter 1: Jellyfish Blooms

Have you ever looked at something and think: 'How different everything was back in the day...'

Of course, you had.

The news headlines about newly discovered fossils, the little time capsules your parents helped you with as a kid, or maybe that preserved family cookbook that your great-great-great-great grandmother made.

And after years and years have passed, you'd find them resurfacing again. You'd look back and think about how much everything changed since then. The technology, the beliefs, the...well, everything. Maybe you would even find yourself cringing at the amount of happy meal toys you stuffed in there.

Typically, something has to be preserved very well for that to happen. Going back to the previous examples, this is no problem for fossils, or time capsules, or cookbooks.

But humans don't typically resurface from the ocean, alive and well after who knows how many years. Nor do they find themselves lying on the shore of another country and live to tell the tale.

And they definitely don't suddenly wake up to find out that talking monkeys, buff bulls, and what have you exists.

...So what made you different?
