ATLAS K | FRAGMENT II
Only God's Colors
FRAGMENT II OF ATLAS K — ONGOING SURREAL COSMIC HORROR AI ANIMATION SERIES .
The Time Pruner did not return. The scarabs escaped with old circuit-memories burnt in their shells. A clock stopped at 10:10 and messed with the timelines. And in a cathedral spaceship moving through a black and white void, a girl saw color for the first time. A mysterious angel in a jar…
Watch it first. Return here when the movements begin to connect.
Remember, colors in the void are never natural.
ACT I · 00;00 - 02:30
01. The Division — Death of a Digital World
A civilization chose to leave its biological state. Every consciousness was connected to a single entity, the planet became a machine running on the same patterns and infrastructures. A world with no flesh, no weather, no unpredictability.
And then it detonated.
Life always tries to outlive destruction, in tiny forms. The last biological organisms on the planet, a scarab insect, too small and too primitive to have been worth digitizing, collided with shattering motherboards. Chitin fused with silicon. The scarabs survived as something new, and managed to escape a planet condemned to self destruction.
They trailed threads of color behind them. Atmospheric material bleeding into void where no atmosphere should exist. The dying planet's gas envelope leaking through structural damage into open space.
The thing that survives catastrophe is never the thing that was designed to survive.
ACT II · 02:30 - 04:30
02. The Planet Explosion and the Color Anomaly
The explosion tore a gap in the structural fabric. Color bled outward—tendrils of teal, magenta, ochre contaminating a perfect black and white universe, a contamination signature immediately visible across the void.
Golden-amber eyeballs mixed with colored tendrils haunt the wound space. Clocks appeared throughout the damage zone, ticking, ticking but never moving.
All frozen at the same hour.
All frozen at the same minute.
A cosmic voice issues a command: “Send the one who cuts the branches. Nothing must leave that place.”
03. The Time Pruner and The Cosmic Call
The Time Pruner is no hero. It is a function, a function that repairs broken mechanisms in a universe that witnesses horrific cosmic destruction. It lives simply, when it is called, it comes to cut the branches. Without any objection.
Time branches are usually quiet after a planetary explosion, they need to rest to fix themselves to spark new life. But this time the tendrils are vibrating, they emanate life.
At each cut they move as living forms without any hint of decaying.
The colored strands are so alive that entangle the Time Pruner, they want to engulf its body.
It tears them apart.
Then, from somewhere inside the intricate mess, a phone rings…
Driiiin driiiiin driiiin.
The voice on the other end: "The merging procedure is beginning. Resistance is meaningless. Please cooperate."
ACT III · 04:30 - 07:00
04. A Colorful Miracle
She was born aboard the 'Navis Dei', a cathedral spaceship crewed by nuns in space, drifting through the void toward a planet that may or may not exist. Her world is monochrome. The corridors are gray. The prayers are gray. The doctrine is gray. Only God reveals color.
Through a circular porthole, she sees the scarab planet contamination bloom, a vast haemorrhage of color spreading through open space. She does not know what contamination is. She does not know the Time Pruner has failed. She knows only that the universe, which she was taught to be black and white, is now full of colors.
She runs. She tells everyone.
Happy.
05. Only God’s Colors
The Mother Superior has red eyes. Whether this is biology or contamination is not recorded. Her voice is firm and absolute. She does not tolerate contradiction. And the existence of “other” colors is the deepest contradiction of all.
"There are no colors in the universe. Evil has entered your eyes."
Her firm doctrine makes Lume’s vision return to black and white.
“You are now going to be led to the real light, the real colors only God can provide."
The original state is restored. The false colors, removed.
Back to black.
Now that is dark again, you can admire colors through the Navis Dei’s glass window, the only one speaking the language of God.

06. The Angel in the Jar
In the dark, Lume meets Nexa, an older girl, already familiar with the architecture of suppression. Nexa is not broken. She has learned to recognize the walls of her prison.
Nexa has hidden something the order cannot explain. A glass jar. Inside it: a small creature with white wings, and a scribbled black body. It resembles the Angels described on the sacred stained glass windows of the spaceship — the only thing that provides color and direction to the ship. Even if it looks like a cosmic horror angel, trapped between states.
She holds it up to the light.
"This is a Fallen Angel… it wants to go out. To guide us to the promised land."
The angel shakes in a jar. Contained. Glitching.
The nuns suppress what they thought was evil. But curiosity was stronger, and Nexa hid what they would have destroyed. And now they are working to make sense of a story soaked in faith, deception, and incomplete maps.
Are you going to touch this jar?
EPILOGUE
A planet collapsed, the Time Pruner was sucked into its inevitable fate. Nexa wants to release the creature. Lume wants to see colors again. The Navis Dei carries them forward, and everything moves ticking like a stuck clock.
The story continues.
What is Atlas K & where to find me
Atlas K is a serialized cosmic horror story set in space, built with AI animation by kajimelo — an independent multimedia artist and worldbuilder based in the Dolomites, Italy. Each fragment is a self-contained cosmic horror short film exploring a fractured multiverse where time does not exist, planets do not touch, and color in the void is never natural.
The only rule is that things get weird.
The archive is expanding. New fragments are released periodically on YouTube.
Fragment II follows three threads: a digital civilization collapses and bleeds color into the void. A creature sent to repair reality abandons its function. And aboard a cathedral spaceship, nuns in space suppress what they cannot explain — while a girl finds a cosmic horror angel in a jar.
