“The rock candy and the weathervane work well,” Camden said.

I nodded my head.

“How about the others?” I asked.

He shook his head. “The door handle might be fine, but apparently, that one's pretty weird when it comes to...

Book Five, Chapter 143

Kimberly was surprisingly matter-of-fact as she described what she sensed.

We were back in the loft, and we had already retrieved the players from Ramona's cabin.

Kimberly had taken the time to walk through every single room in the lof...

Checking In

Hey everyone!

Today marks the final official chapter of Book Five and Arc II.

I’ll be taking a couple of weeks off to rebuild my backlog. RR will also get a two-week pause when they ca...

You will notice that both Dina and Bobby have got their aspects in this story. Unfortunately, since the votes for those are still ongoing, the result is not listed. I will come back and change it. I might decide Bobby's on my own BTW....

The credits began to roll, intercut with footage from security cameras showing the characters from the story.

It showed Anna, Camden, and Gabriel walking out of the roller rink safely—because, of course, for every disaster, there was anoth...

Watching over six hundred Dinas fight the Generation Killers was almost an academic exercise.

Update

The next chapter will come out in 5-8 hours. We are one ahead of schedule right now so I am taking a minute to get things right.

The rewards chapter will be next week. I've got a lot of decisions to make for that one. If you have any thought...

The hospital burned beside me. People cried for help.

Gabriel Cano stood before me, and at first, I didn't know exactly why he was there—until he reached up and g...

My mistake

So... funny story.

I had planned for Riley to use his magical masquerade mask to help justify why people didn't recognize him. I forgot about it when it came time to write it. I'll be adding that in in places.

Lol. Have a good one.

Book Five, Chapter 137 & 138

I was overwhelmed, but I continued forward—not because of my mission or even the implications of my findings on our survival.

I moved forward out of pure curiosity.

Having given up on the stairs as a method of ascending the tower, I ...

Book Five, Chapter 136

When I left the Invitations room, I left with my head hanging down.

I knew that all of this stuff existed—I wasn't a fool—but picturing it as some arcane ritual or the all-powerful will of a cosmic being made it more digestible in a stra...

I briefly worked at my university's football stadium during my freshman year of college.

I was selling sports memorabilia, and I was bad at it. It didn't really matter—all I had to do was stand there and restock. It was a student job, not ...

I'll fix the dialogue formatting later. Please ignore it for now.

Update

I'm still working on the next chapter. I need to balance the lore drops to the effort Riley put in. I have some fun stuff planned. I might need some extra time. I appreciate your patience.

I know that we lose some of the mystery when you lea...

Book Five, Chapter 133

There were no security guards, no real fences, nothing to protect the building from someone trespassing except, perhaps, the remote locale.

The paved trail leading away from the building disappeared into the inky darkness of the woods.

Book Five, Chapter 132

After I stepped into the long, dark hallway behind the theater screen, it only took a moment for my base instincts to trigger a fear response.

Megalophobia- the fear of gigantic things. I didn’t even know I had it until I looked up.

Sorry about the cliff

I didn’t plan for it to be a cliffhanger—it just happened. As you may have read on Discord, I’ll only be posting three times a week for the rest of Book Five.

I want to make sure the upcoming chapters are just right. Hopefully, they’...

I didn’t have to record. We would be On-Screen anyway, and I was getting low on battery.

I shut the camera off for this time jump.

We had already described what we were going to do, and frankly, it was possible that our entire detour to the hospital would get cut from the final film. So I didn't really see it as important to be ...

FYI, some of this is slightly redundant or otherwise off, but I will fix that by editing previous chapters. I had to do a quick cleanup. Sorry for the wait.
