Penelope got to her bed and asked Amber, "How did Jackson's death affect you?"
"I still don't talk to my parents." Amber answered.
"Why?" Penelope asked back.
"My parents made him go to camp." Amber replied.
"Did he care for it?" Penelope questioned.
"He learned to, but if my parents on the first year didn't make him none of this would have started." Amber stated.
"I think the killer would have still been the killer even if your parents didn't force Jackson to go to camp." Penelope said in an aggressive tone.
"Whatever." Amber stated, "So how did Reagan's death affect you?"
"Weirdly enough, I talked to my parents more than ever." Penelope stated.
"Then why don't you call them?" Amber asked.
"I need my space and they're okay with it." Penelope responded.
"That's unrealistic," Amber stated.
"To you," Penelope said back.
"Why do you date him?" Penelope questioned.
"James?" Amber asked. Penelope nodded and Amber continued, "I don't know I just do."
"I've never dated anyone. How is it like?" Penelope asked.
"It's nice. I'm thinking more about it. I think I date James because he's cool and just chills out with me." Amber answered.
"Cool." Penelope said. Amber nodded. Amber started the car and they went back to the dorm. Amber got out of the car. Penelope followed. Penelope decided not to go to the dorms for a minute. Penelope saw a round man with dark brown hair and eyes. He looked like a kid she knew from high school. High school, Penelope started thinking about how she never kept up with her high school friends. It had only been a week so; they should respond her. Penelope went to her dorm and emailed her friend, Jenny. Jenny was the only of her friends that answered her email. Penelope emailed, "Hey what's up." Penelope decided to get dinner since Jenny would probably be off playing tennis. Penelope started thinking about it and the more she thought about her hobbies she realized she had been too focused on college so; she should try getting back into her hobbies.

Penelope's old hobbies were soccer and designing dominos designs. Penelope had been too focused on her interior design major. Penelope went to one of her boxes to get her dominos. "Hey, can I set up my dominos?" Penelope asked. "You set up dominos and create fun designs?" Amber asked. "Yeah," Penelope answered. "Cool, I'm going to hang out with James but when I get back, I want to see it." Amber said. "Yeah, okay," Penelope said. Amber went outside and Penelope started setting up the dominos. An hour later, Penelope set up a small domino design. It was just a small shell design with red dominos. Penelope quietly waited for Amber. Penelope started cooking some quesadillas. Penelope liked her quesadillas very well done. After, Penelope made her quesadillas and ate them, Penelope waited for more time for Amber.
Amber came after an hour. Since it was 9 pm Penelope was on her bed watching a Halloween movie. "Hey, did you make the design?" Amber asked. "Yeah, turn on the lights." Penelope said. Amber turned on the light. The small shell design lay on the floor. Penelope flicked the dominos and the dominos fell. "Good, job," Amber said. "Nay, it's nothing, anybody can lay dominos." Penelope remarked. "So, going to bed now?" Amber asked. "Yeah, let's go to sleep," Penelope said. Amber changed into black shorts and her biggest grey shirt and climbed into bed. Penelope, who was already in her pajamas, turned off the lights and climbed into bed.

The Book of Hickory
Now why did Hickory go and punch that Angel? Sure it spooked him, popping up right there at lunch, and yet, it wasn't fear that balled his hand into a fist - Cause wouldn't you? Wouldn't anyone - with a sick Ma at home, Da long dead, buried, all them prayers piling up on bruised knees, unanswered? Hickory was angry, all right. He was fierce, now - cause that Angel didn't show up to give no help, that Angel came by asking for it - with all that power just plain to see, the power to fix the world and all that ails it! And now look what poor Hickory has to do - to save the world? Now how is he supposed to do that when its taking near everything he's got - just to keep them chickens safe, Ma fed, and himself out of trouble - All he wanted was maybe just a dance with May, maybe a bit more, to hold her close? That she's sweet, now, a voice like an angel, but now she's over there lookin at him like he's more than a man. And that's not to say Hickory is bad, not all the time, not ever on purpose - just there are things a man has to - That drinking and fighting ain't wrong just as long as the chores are done proper first, that those parts of life that make it worth living ain't no sin, that loving a lady is proper and Hickory just has so much love to give! And May is special, right, sweet and soft, now she's sophisticated. That she wears her passion like a pearl necklace? That certainly Hickory would notice, naturally - that she's already spoken for, perhaps taken? That ever since Hickory came back, that all she can think about is swallowing - those strange feelings, because it wouldn't do, would it? For a Lady? But certainly she can worship him and still be seen with Weston Covanger? Because Weston needs May, that what happens in the Study is only half the battle, the Men's Business, and he's far too proud to settle for half of anything. That if he wants to move up the ranks of his family, to be more than a Covanger, to become the Covanger? He's going to need a woman in the Kitchen as well - he's going to need May. And if that seems a bit old fashioned? A bit too much like the Wild West? Well the West is starting to get wild again now that everyone starts to Drink. A different take on LitRPG where answers aren't given - they must be earned, discovered and fought for, one at a time. An orator style, a long read, filled with magic buildings, crafting, alchemy, but most of all - This is a story about the human spirit. About understanding what defines a person, their morals, their beliefs, and also faith when everything they understand becomes challenged - changed. So do they. People can change. They will. Just not always for the better, not always - sometimes. Sometimes that's enough. Sometimes that's even everything.
