《Scratch Pad》The Puzzle
Advertisement
It was a party, maybe a birthday party, with both 1st person and 3rd person views going on at the same time.
It’s a towering cake, taller than I am and it’s amazing. So many bits and pieces and colors…there are strings, confetti candies, flowers, butterflies and so much more! The decorations can move around and then pieces of cake will pop out revealing hidden spots with little treasures in them. Some of the decorations are treasures themselves; pearls and gemstones.
You have to solve each of the puzzles. Once you solve a puzzle it shows you the way to go on to the next tier. Eat along the way if you want, but the real prize is that bottle at the top - it’s filled with a unique brandy and will never be available to anybody else. A magic potion, as magic as the cake itself. You can also earn additional prizes for how fast you complete the puzzles and the whole cake.
I can feel myself guided to follow a path, I don’t have to, I am just being encouraged.
I start to solve the puzzles. There are many different kinds, all physical in some way, using the cake and it’s decorations as the medium.
I get to the end and learn I have been tricked! The path I was guided down was intentional to distract me from the fastest ways to solve the cake puzzle. Shortcuts that let you bypass whole tiers and win the greatest secret prize. The prize that was established by the original designer of the cake. You can only ever solve one cake in your lifetime and the answers are a secret bound into you that you can’t share except with another cake solver at the time they finish their cake. The guidance is part of the cake puzzle and being able to look past it and see other options is what they are looking for.

If only I had looked behind the cake! I would have seen the alternate path!
Nobody’s won the big secret prize yet…guess it won’t be me either…dang secret prize.

Love, Napalm & Homicidal Fairies
When Nasilain started traveling between worlds, she hadn’t expected to get caught by a police officer. Nasilain: Traveling between worlds always filled Nasilain with dread. All those men with their friendly smiles and hundreds of questions. What was the last movie she watched? What music did she like? What country was she from? If Nasilain could use magic in this world, she would’ve blocked the flow of calcium ions in their jaw muscles just to shut them up. The scientific knowledge she could find on the internet using the free Wi-Fi in one of the local coffee shops forced her to tolerate the occasional interrogation. But even hipsters were better than Seth, the beefy police officer that caught her teleporting. Apparently, she wasn’t allowed to lie to him, which was fine as long as he didn’t ask about the clone. Seth: Seth had seen his share of bad luck. On normal days, it manifested as a shoulder injury that got him discharged from his SEAL team or wounding a civilian while on the police force. But landing in a parallel dimension with elves in neon green pants, a cute mad scientist with magical abilities, and swarms of carnivorous fairies? That was a first. At least Nasilain promised not to use her magic to split atoms. Content warning: This book DOES NOT contain zombie fairies. Everything else is fair game though.
