Parallel trees. Those who never were. Generations, family genealogies severed, cut, pruned out of existence. Wars. Famines. Plagues. Millions die. Many generations, millions more never born. Severed from time. Never born here. Parallel places they reside. Family branches passing through. Dimensionally traveled. Existing in different realms. All possibilities play out. Genealogies propagating on different worlds, different trees. Infinitely interconnected. Parallel trees. All that could be, have been. Will be. Strange, strange existence it be!
