I am still aliveHi all, I am in the process of writing a new chapter to the story but have been super busy at work. I also wanted to progress that Thargoid whale story and have absolutely no idea where to go with it yet. Thanks to everyone who messaged me - it's...
The DreamI was dreaming. I knew I was dreaming, I'd had this dream before, so many times that I knew that it was a dream. I was running. All the worst dreams involve running, usually away from someone. I was definitely running from someone, a group of someone...
