Chapter Ten
I should probably consider myself lucky that nothing of mine mysteriously fell out of the sky this time.
Not that this "sneaky group" ever gets the hint and sends me my laptop, but even if they did, sensitive electronic equipment doesn't fare so well when it's dropped from hundreds of feet in the air ( Read more... ) -
Chapter Nine
There's really no need to shock me. Jeez. I think there are enough things in this place that hurt without adding the communicator to that number, thank you very much.
Trying to intimidate me into talking, eh? Well, guess what. I don't respond well to intimidation. It makes me feel ickyAnd of course that little quiet spell didn't last, did it? ( Read more... ) -
Chapter Eight
People are mysteriously dropping dead left and right, and, let me guess, there are still some of those people here who actually prefer this place to the idea going home.
This place - these people - it's terrifying and fascinating at the same time. Like a car crash, you know? You just can't look away...I should write a book about this. Murder ( Read more... ) -
Chapter Seven
So, things fell from the sky this time. Objects. Actual objects.
After everything I've seen, I frankly don't know why anything surprises me anymore.
And the object I found just happened to be cigarettes. Well, whoever sent this stuff down, you ought to know, I don't smoke. So these are completely useless to me, for your information. It's not even ( Read more... ) -
Chapter Six
Let's see. The building collapsed and....
I...I can't remember.
I can't remember anything that's happened for the past...two days.
[Private but not really]
And just what are you supposed to think when you wake up one day, and you're just...covered in blood? And...most of it is, surprisingly, not your own?
[/private but not really]
...This ( Read more... ) -
Chapter Five [voice]
[For a very, very long period of time: the sound of running.]
...Well. [Heavy breathing and an extremely strained-sounding voice, as of someone who's treading the fine line between panic and absolute madness.] Well. At least I managed to get out of there before the entire building collapsed. That's good, isn't it?
I'll look on the bright side. ( Read more... ) -
Chapter Four
I have a question to put to everyone. More like a request, really, if I'm going to be specific.
Does anyone have any paper? Is there, you know, a large supply of paper tucked away somewhere in this city?
...I think I'm in need of it. A lot of it. -
Chapter Three [voice]
Yeah…
…I have to say that I’m not particularly liking this place.
[A slight, distant tapping noise can be heard: possibly footsteps, but probably water dripping.]
What the- Who’s out there? …Don’t come any closer, pal… I’m, uh, armed in here. Come in here and…and prepare for the beating of your life. I’m r-ready….[A few moments of silence. ( Read more... ) -
Chapter Two [voice]
Well…. I can't say that this is any worse than being home. So far.
Napping in an almost-empty apartment isn't that different from napping in a house in the middle of nowhere in upstate New York, right? …Except that my house wouldn't be flooded.
…And there wouldn't've been a goddamn racket going on the other day. And there would be chips.

[Accidental voice post]
Ouch. What the…. It’s so dark. Too dark, in fact. That nap was only supposed to last until, oh, mid-evening, and I haven’t been asleep that long, so…. Oh. Oh God, it’s finally happened, hasn’t it? I’ve gone blind, haven’t I, from all those nights of squinting at that crappy laptop screen-
…Oh. My glasses. Right. There they are…That’s better. But ( Read more... )
