In prehistoric Norway (5000 BC), twin siblings Asha and Cosmo are captured by raiders from their peaceful tribe.

Exhausted and lost, they stumble upon Fluffy, a tiny, talking woolly mammoth separated from his herd.
Though shocked by Fluffy’s ability to speak, Asha bonds with the lonely calf, while warrior-minded Cosmo vows to protect them both. Together, the trio—united by loss and hope—forge an unlikely friendship.

As the northern stars emerge, they take their first steps toward an uncertain journey home, discovering that courage and companionship might light the way.

Breakfast At Twilight - Trapped...

Philip K. Dick

Breakfast At Twilight by Philip K. Dick - It’s distinctly ungood to wake up in the middle of a war. Anybody knows that. 
Philip K. Dick, an iconic figure in science fiction literature, captivated readers with his visionary and often mind-bending narratives. Dick explored themes of reality, identity, and perception throughout his prolific career. His works, including "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" (which inspired the film "Blade Runner"), "Ubik," and "The Man in the High Castle," challenged conventional notions of existence, blurring the lines between the real and the surreal. 
Dick's writing was characterized by its philosophical depth, psychological insight, and prophetic vision of a future shaped by technology and societal upheaval. He delved into the nature of consciousness, questioning what it means to be human in a world increasingly dominated by machines. Dick's own tumultuous life, marked by personal struggles and existential crises, often found expression in his fiction, adding layers of complexity to his narratives. 
Despite struggling with mental health issues, Dick's creative genius continued to shine, earning him a devoted following and posthumous recognition as one of the most imaginative and influential writers of the 20th century. His legacy endures, inspiring readers and writers alike to ponder the mysteries of existence and the boundaries of reality.
