We Are All Moving To Amerikkka

More about We Are All Moving To Amerikkka

In the age when maps were still rumors pressed into parchment, the man called Aldus Vey charted a land no one else could see. He sat at the edge of the Old World with his globe and his book of impossible coordinates, insisting that a continent existed beyond the fog—Amerikkka, spelled with three Ks not by accident, but by warning.

Aldus claimed Amerikkka was not a place one sailed to but a place one was drawn into, like iron to a hidden magnet. “It is expanding,” he told the scholars who mocked him. “Not by landmass, but by influence. One day, whether you journey or not, you will wake up and find yourselves already living there.”

He described an uncanny territory: shores that shifted each morning, cities built on profit and forgetting, and a language that grew new words faster than the tongue could shape them. A country where the future marched ahead with blinding confidence and the past rotted under the floorboards. Aldus said its people walked quickly, talked loudly, and carried private storms behind their eyes.

When he finally set sail, the academy declared him mad. His ship pushed into a sunset no navigator could calculate. Weeks later, the vessel returned unmanned, bearing only his globe—now spinning on its own—and his journal, filled with a single repeated sentence:

“We are all moving to Amerikkka. Some of us simply arrive sooner.”

The scholars dismissed it, but the phrase endured. Generations later, as borders blurred, as every nation rewired itself in Amerikkka’s image—its noise, its myth-making, its violence, its glittering promise—people began to whisper that Aldus had not been a cartographer at all.

He had been a prophet.
