Zalinki

"Zalinki" is the name given to an ancient North American tribe that has since been erased off the face of the earth by early settlers and colonizers. The Zalinki, although only a small group of people, managed to create their own society much quicker than most, even inventing tools that wouldn’t be seen commonly until decades later. They were known for their artistic endeavours, including a wide variety of mediums by which they expressed their very complex array of emotions; ranging from existential dread to utter despair. The members of this community were known to dwell igloos for exceptional amounts of time, consume unhealthy amounts of processed food and practice several unspeakable acts of dismemberment as part of rituals in their religion. This religion involved the belief in a mystical entity also named Zalinki, that is rumored to still wander the earth today. Maybe a blessing or a curse, some few claim to have sighted Zalinki, reporting feelings of "rebirth both of heart and soul". Despite the unlikely existence of this entity, this tribe forever remains a timeless fragment of the past, kept under lock and key among the bottomless depths of our memories, destined to one day escape its harrowing prison
