《No One Knows Me But You》PREFACE
Advertisement
"When Gus Reed moves to Larkwood, a small town with too much money, nobody wants to be friends with him for a multitude of reasons, the most important one being that he doesn't have any. Money, that is. It's a tale as old as time, except apparently for Haley Sinclair, the richest kid in town... who is not who he seems. Then again, neither is Gus."

This novella was prompted by the Open Novella Contest of 2022. If you don't know what this contest is, you can find all the info on the ONC profile run by Wattpad Ambassadors, but the short explanation is that participants write a novella based on a prompt. I won't be participating in the actual contest, but I'll be following their rules/schedule.
The prompt I chose is: "Was this a game to you?"
Note: the world this story takes place in is inspired by the real world, but it's not based on it. If things don't quite make sense, that's completely intentional.

Content/trigger warnings: strong language; mentions of sex; smoking, alcohol, drugs; violence/assault; gore and blood.

As he uncovers more of the truth, bloody secrets are revealed and even darker revelations...I am inspired by A Game of Thrones, Mark Lawrence's hauntingly dark tone, Joe Abercrombie's gritty combat, and Patrick Rothfuss' beautiful prose; seeking to emulate these elements into my own story.

Oxymoronic/Desktop/Babel_Maze
[19:27] Oxymoronic: Ever heard of escape room games? [19:30] Oxymoronic: You know, those places where you pay a hundred bucks to get locked in a room with impossible puzzles. Impossible for you, that is. Your smartass friend inevitably figures them out in seconds while you're sitting there dumbfounded, wondering where your money went. [19:31] Oxymoronic: Or maybe you are that smartass friend. [19:33] Oxymoronic: Well, I played an escape room game that even all the smartasses in the world couldn't have figured out. [19:35] Oxymoronic: I could have written a novel about what we have come to call the Babel Maze. But frankly, I'm not much of a writer. I'd much rather prefer to let the forum archives speak on their own. [19:36] Oxymoronic: Might take a few months to upload all this. Lots of clutter, lots of spam. Cleaning all this is going to be a nightmare. [19:38] Oxymoronic: That's just what internet janitors like me do.
