Ooh this was so intriguing! The idea of trees holding memories that you can just cut off? I like this one!

Oooh I like what’s happening here, many little threads of interest laid out

First chapters are hard. How do you let people know what kind of story it is without revealing too much and info dumping? Thanks for reading!

this is very cool. at first it was giving renfield hunting something down for dracula vibes to me. but the time switches and pauses and quickening ohhh i like that a lot. and i need to know more about the trees. dig this.

That’s not a bad comparison, actually (I had to go look it up). Though, there’s no vampires in this—I think.🤔 At least not any of the blood sucking variety. 😂

i think it was just the ominous master type. this just has a cool vibe in general honestly!

Oh yeah, he is ominous 😁

Thanks, Walt! With so many stories bouncing around, it’s hard to choose what to work on 😂. Maybe data will work.

Yeah, this one is the most developed, so more chapters will come randomly. We wanted to post two other story first-chapters.

It's a different poem that Jan wrote today. We still have to post the other one!

Jan has actually written a lot of poetry from this MC's perspective. But he didn't have one that would work for chapter 1, so he wrote it today. It hints at the overall story, but of course makes no sense right now.

Jan appreciates all the kind words very much. He's a little stalled halfway into TSA book 2. Switching up things can help infuse new energy.
