The da Vinci Butterfly

This short story, a companion to The Chaos Machine, explores a formative childhood experience of Leonardo da Vinci involving a cave that profoundly impacted his life. While connected to the broader Chaos Trilogy, it is designed to be enjoyed independently, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in da Vinci's early years. The series as a whole weaves together themes of chaos and transformation across three interconnected books.
