| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous. Join our community today! |

The loon cried, the echos skimming the water like terns. The lake was white, though not icy, so tiny ripples crossed the surface, distorting the light a bit. A longer, more anguished cry, pouring evil and depression on the purity, a stain for the heart of the lake. A final cry did the loon give, the final sign of mourning, and with it came off grief and despair, came a feeling of hopelessness that finally did him in. A silent chant began, the air still but refusing to die, moving like subtle spirals on the wind, relieving all of nostalgias so painful. The body came floating towards me, black on the white water, cold and morose, as if radiating melancholy like the still burning Sun overhead. I swear I saw some wings on the distance, but that was about it. He died of grief, grief of everything before the lake. |
