The Species That Laughed at Horror | An Epic HFY Sci-Fi Story

The Mnemosyne are the masters of psychic warfare. They don't destroy armies with weapons; they break them by broadcasting the shared trauma and agony of every fallen soldier directly into the minds of their comrades. Every species they have encountered has collapsed into catatonic despair.

But when they turn their terrible psychic weapon on humanity, they discover a bizarre and unexpected defense. The human mind's unique ability to compartmentalize—to wall off trauma, to use gallows humor as a shield, and to simply keep functioning in the face of unimaginable horror—makes us uniquely resilient.

This is the story of "The Compartmentalists," where humanity's often-unhealthy coping mechanisms become the ultimate weapon against an enemy that feeds on despair. The Mnemosyne came to show us terror; we showed them the strange and terrible power of the human will to endure.
