Announcing “Aristotle”: Our First Monthly Illustrated Story is Here!
The next phase of the Lumen Universe has begun. We are thrilled to announce that our first monthly illustrated short story, “Aristotle,” has been released exclusively to our Patreon supporters.
About the Story
Written by Jay Berg with stunning art by Lucas L., “Aristotle” is a 12-page science fiction story that explores the nature of consciousness and reality through the eyes of an Uplifted Swine living in a world he doesn’t understand . It’s a thoughtful, character-driven introduction to the kinds of narratives we’ll be telling.
This release marks the start of our new publication model. The Field Guide introduced you to the world; these monthly stories will introduce you to the lives within it.
You can get instant access to “Aristotle” and a brand-new story every month by supporting us on Patreon.
