Lost

The man lost everything that was not the Memories. Mortals aren't meant for this Knowledge, and it consumed the man from the inside out.

From the Dead came the Angel, who believed that They should be under His control.
The Woman in the Water decided it was time to find a mate.
The Snake and the Rose conceived a child.

The man forgot the girl, forgot how to work, forgot all but the Stories.  The man's last act was to create a record of what must have been his story, once.

The Doctor set out to find a willing mortal to save.
The Dead and the Emptiness faced off.
The Man and the Girl fought a war.
The Boy sought a family.
The Snake smote a woman for challenging Her.
The Angel tried to control the City
The Dead became many
The Dream awoke from His slumber

The man no longer remembers his own story. Perhaps someone else will.
