"You're here?" I asked the mechanical man, but it was more of an accusation. My heart was beating, my muscles tensed.
I was standing. I wasn’t lying on the ground bleeding ou...

Schedule and Comments

I'm going to change the schedule back to T-Fri to line up with RR. They say inconsistency is the spice of life... or something like that.

~Michael~

"You sure you're up for this?" Riley asked.

Was he talking down to me? Why not? Everyone is doing that nowadays. Maybe they were patronizing. Maybe they were empathizing. Al...

Book Five, Chapters 86 and 87

~Antoine~

The forest shifted again, the shapes of the trees melting into something both unfamiliar and known.

The air was full of energy, heavy with memories that weren’t mine—or ...

"Do you think it'll help him?" Kimberly asked, chewing on her bottom lip. She still stared after him long after he ran into the forest.

Somehow, we managed to squeeze all of us into that small hidden room behind the bookcase. We only had two chairs, so most everyone was left to cram amongst the stacks and hope there...

Book Five, Chapter 77

~Riley~

Even with my life on the line, I couldn't stay in that little room filled with books forever.

I had to get out and stretch my legs. If there were some narrative thread that re...

~Kimberly~

It amazed me how early exploration quietly became my favorite part of a storyline.

It amazed me that I even had a favorite part of a storyline. It wasn’t too long ago tha...

Book Five, Chapter 75

Just because Carousel decided to redress me didn’t mean I lost access to my luggage tag or to any of the items I’d brought in my hoodie pocket.
