《Unfinished Works》“Dark Confinement”
Advertisement
You wake up in an unnamed cell, your head aches, bad. You look around at your surroundings, they’re bland. A toilet, a sink,a prison-like bed, and a table that protrudes out of the wall. The air feels moist and smells like vomit, you gag as you breathe in, trying to make sense of it all. Your thoughts are pushed aside as a sound echoes from down the hall, you barely heard it. You try to get yourself off of the bed, but fail because you’re fatigued. You take a moment to think, but then that opens up a whole lot of questions to you that you weren’t thinking of before. Where am I? What did I do to end up here?.. Who am I?
You start to panic because you realise that you forgot who you are, you start thinking of past memories, but none come. You close your eyes, just wanting this to be a bad dream..
The next time you open them you’re still in that same cell, with the same toilet, sink, and bed. But this time, you see a paper on the desk next to you. You go to pick it up without even realising that you can move around without feeling like there’s lead in your veins, once it’s in your hands you inspect it. It has a logo in the top right corner, it looks like a circle with three prongs sticking out and going towards the center of the circle. Some words next to it are also visible “Secure. Contain. Protect.”
After trying to remember if you seen the logo anywhere else you notice that there’s a lot of other writing on the paper itself. There’s a big box on the bottom, It’s blacked out so you don’t understand what it means, but you see a description above.

There was a lot more information along with it, but you assume that it was a description of you. Now that you’ve woken up, you take another look around, nothing seemed to have changed. The door, still barely ajar, also has the exact same logo as the paper you just read. The circle with the three prongs going into the center. You stand up straight, first looking at the toilet. It’s clean, and then the faucet, also rather clean. Upon looking further at the table, you find a small 9V battery, you tuck it into your pants pocket and prepare to go out into the hallway.
You pry the door open and it opens with a rough sound of metal against metal, you worry about the amount of sound it makes but you do it anyway. After opening it you see where you are, a hallway with identical rooms going up and down the corridor. You look down each way and see a door on one side open at the end of the hallway. You start walking down it but as you start walking you hear a faint noise of a door opening, You hide in one of the empty rooms (presumably owned by someone exactly like you) and wait for the sound to stop. It does, and you begin to walk down the corridor, trying to figure out where you are.
After arriving at the doorway, you look around inside of the room, it’s big, and has three identical doors. You assume that they all lead down different hallways, you pick the door going straight.
Upon entering the doorway you see a door labeled “Armoury”
As you enter you see shelves and shelves of items. You pick up a red card, upon inspecting it you see a “2” on the upper right side, You slide it into your pocket. You also see a 5 dollar bill, you take that too.

That is all that was left in the armoury, you see another door, but it’s locked. You try the keycard and it opens the door. Inside is a wall with monitors, all off. And a button labelled “release” you press it and hear a small door slowly open. Then a screen comes on and you can see a small glass case with a gas mask inside of it. Assuming that that’s all there was inside, you leave the room once more.

Stranger than Fiction (Draft Edition)
Rewrite -> https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/55140/stranger-than-fiction 150k words of rewritten and new content, updating 3 times a day. Faith is like ice-cream. It comes in all flavors. Greek, Norse, Sumerian, Christian— just name it and it's there. Adventures, on the other hand, are like credit cards. The first taste is free, but the price only goes up from there. Family heirlooms, now those are true evil. You get burdened with them for sentimental reasons even if they’re icky. For Lukas Aguilar, it was a pendant. A small, weird metal nib with absolutely no vampiric tendencies. All he wanted was to finish the job at hand, and get on that book he had been postponing for a while now. Instead he got served with an apocalypse for breakfast, a cave full of eldritch monsters for the company and the whims of a ruined goddess for his To-Do list. Really, a simple NO from the universe would have sufficed. Acknowledgments Editor-in-Chief: Solo Starfish Artwork: Exodus

Ira’s Faithful
[On Hiatus due to health reasons] Synopsis: Fate has plans for everyone. There are many paths one can walk and many nodes one can unlock. Yet all mortal souls only start with one node. This has been the case for many years and while there are some records of people with more than one first node, these are as rare as wings on snails, roses made of air, or ropes made of dragon-hair. Elise Anker has two first nodes. She doesn't know why and the only one that could answer is an angry voice in her head. She hears it rarely and the voice is as helpful as a sword is effective against a Leviathan. She strives to become a mage, a knight or maybe something else entirely. The future is uncertain and unless she finds out what her nodes mean, she will never know what she wants to become. But her nodes won't unlock and the angry voice tells her that she needs to find a worthy foe to kill. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, and incidents are either the products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. I am also not a professional author. This is simply a rough draft and therefore subject to change. Furthermore, this fiction is rather slow-paced for a rather long time. But compare it to a bundle of dynamite, you wouldn't want that to explode right in someone's face, would you?
