Hullo again, folks. So far I'm at least semi-daily on keeping y'all informed as to my daily comings and goings. Just wanted to drop you a small piece of a story I've been working on...its called "Sector 31: UW". Enjoy
"...and I came upon the massive building complex, layered in brick and mortar. I had been there, years before--but this time things were very different. Windows were shattered out, the front doors lay ajar and there was a faint smell of something I should have remembered but couldn't seem to place. I walked up to the doors...though they had seemed broken from afar, I realized that I needed my keys to enter the complex. I was probably the only person who had these keys anymore. Glancing around one last time, I unlocked the front bolt with a resounding thud.
As I stepped inside, I began to recall memories of that place...faces whose names I could no longer recall seemed to smile at me from the corners of darkness in the main lobby. Someone had called me here--why, I didn't know; but I was sure that the person would reveal themself and their intentions soon enough. I slid past furniture that hadn't been used in 15 years...ever since the accident that closed this place down. A strange fog seemed to permeate the the entire building, as though my opening the door had let the outside world in for the first time in almost two decades. There on the lobby desk lay a open ledger, but the cleanliness of the book proved that it was much newer than anything else in this place, as though it was only purchased a few weeks earlier. Everything else seemed ancient in its design. I eased over to the ledger...there was a name written there--mine. In blood. Human blood at that. Suddenly the lobby phone rang; once, twice, then stopped abruptly. I heard the front door slam shut as a gust of wind grabbed hold of it. If I had kept my entering a secret, it was now definitely a secret no longer. I decided to be proactive and search for whomever had called me to this site, rather than simply waiting around for a grand revealing. I called the elevator, and suprisingly heard a thud as the car slid down towards the lobby doors...."
