My name is Thack Natalie Collins. Weird name, I know, but my parents are a
little weird, and they have good reason to be. I belong to a subspecies of
humans called voldisil. I was not born of only the two parents, but also of a
third, which provided me with a special gift that no one else has. This third
parent did not raise me, and does not concern itself with human affairs, and
it is unclear what their intentions are in regards to us, if they’re even
driven by anything beyond their instincts. They may not quite realize what
they’re doing. My gift may be part of some grand plan, or it’s just something
that happened, but either way, I decide how I use it. I can witness events
that occur in parallel universes. I can’t see it all at once, and I can’t see
too much detail, but I am able to recognize momentous occasions, and important
historical figures. I’m especially good at noticing when someone from one
universe travels to another. Those events are so clear to me, as are some
others, and what I’ve realized is that they are not inevitable. I can change
things sometimes. I can only do it from a distance, mind you, but it is
possible to interfere. Communication across these unfathomably vast distances
is not easy, but when I need to reach out to someone, I can do it. And when I
do, it’s because they’re at some kind of fork in the road, and I believe I can
help them choose the right path. There are an infinite number of
universes—which those in the know know are called branes, and that they are
floating in something called the bulk—and while I could theoretically see any
of them, I’m most concerned with the ones that are “closer”. Close is a
complicated concept when dealing with hyperdimensional physics, but the fact
is that some branes impact other branes more than others, and as selfish as it
may sound, they have the potential to impact my universe. All of these are the
ones that I’m worried about. They threaten each other, and upset the balance,
and since I’m one of the few people who can actually make a difference on a
grand scale, it’s my responsibility to try to make things better. The
following are some of the more interesting anecdotes from across the
bulkverse. I meddle in some of them, and stay out of others, but they are all
important, and they all matter.

- About Me
My name is Nick Fisherman III. It's not my real name, but that's not because I'm trying to hide from my former agency, or something. I named myself after someone I've known for most of my life, and he chose it in honor of his late best friend. I took up writing when I found myself failing 8th grade science, and realized I might never reach my dream of becoming a biochemist, a meteorologist, and a quantum physicist. I started developing my canon after a scouting trip to an island inspired what I thought would be my first novel. I founded this website upon the advice of many people, who told me I needed to get my work out there, and not wait for an agent to accept my manuscript. You can expect one new story every day. Weekdays are for microstories, which are one or two paragraphs long. They're usually only thematically linked, so you won't have to read one to understand another, but they do sometimes tell a combined story. Sundays are for my continuous longer story, The Advancement of Mateo Matic, which I started in the beginning, and won't end until 2066. Saturdays are for long series, most of which take place in the same universe as Mateo, and add to the larger mythology.
