《Whodunnit? Murder On Mystery Mountain》8 The Game Begins
Advertisement
Sage sat on a hammock outside, reading a novel. She shivered as a gust of wind ripped through her and rustled the pages of her book. She had always loved to read, especially on nights like this, where the trees could be seen swaying in the distance. This job seemed just the sort of distraction she needed from life.
A sound rocketed her awake. Sticks could be heard snapping and leaves crunching, as Ethan Jackson stepped out of the trees. He saw Sage sitting in the hammock. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize you were out here." He was also holding a book. Her eyes lit up. "No no! Please. I love talking to other readers." She smiled. He joined her and they began to read together.
Ethan was way out of his element. Never in a million years, would he choose to come to a summer camp. He did not do bugs and he certainly did not do straight people. They talked for some time. "At least I know I have someone here. The others seem..." he trailed off. "Too perfect." She finished for him. "And you, you look perfect too though!" They laughed together. "How fucking pathetic I must be, to not want to be like them." Sage again laughed.

Jericho dipped one foot into the water below. The lake was freezing. "Should I?" He turned to Sherman and Jaclyn, who were with him. "I mean I could just jump." He shrugged. Jaclyn shook her head. "Way too cold. You'll get frost bit." She looked for approval from the Italian man. Sherman was too busy staring at Jericho's abs to pay attention. "Yeah, what she said." He said as Jericho threw himself into the water. "Too late!"

That's when Sherman smelled something burning. He sat up. "What is that smell?" He looked over at Jaclyn, who also looked up at the sky. It seemed to be coming from the top of camp. Jaclyn picked up her towel. "Well I'm going to check it out, you guys coming." She said, eyeing the two guys. Jericho stuck his head out of the water. "It's probably nothing, but I guess so."
They found themselves running up the hill toward the top of camp. The smell of smoke was getting stronger. Sherman covered his nose with his shirt. As they rounded one of the paths, they ran into Cole, Zayne, and Greer. The woman was covering her mouth in a silent scream. Audrey and Phillip rounded the corner next. Jericho gasped at the sight before them. They heard feet running. Sage, Ethan, and Brooklyn came into sight.
Giles and Lana were already standing at the top of camp. In front of them, a large fire was reaching towards the sky. The flames were masking a figure, a person was in the fire. Calvin and Summer ran onto the scene and Summer screamed. The person in the fire was Trinity Garrison and she was now just a burning corpse. Giles looked around at all of the faces. The game had begun.

Dungeon Island
Reincarnated into a dungeon core beneath an island after losing my memories. I don’t yet know what happened to me, why I am here and the likes. But one day I will find out and then I will settle on my next actions. For now, I just have to take care of my little crabs. Warning: the 'Grimdark', 'Gore' and 'Traumatising content' are not there for show. They may not be fully relevant in the first chapters, but they are definitely there for a reason. Schedule: when I feel like it (usually between Wednesday and Friday night). This story is not a really serious work, I will use it to train my writing skills before going back to my other stories (Jezoi, and Vlaryne) that are currently on hold.

A Long Refrain
September, in the Continuate: For most students living in the Third Division, the month's arrival usually means the start of a new school year. But not so for one particular freshman, whose first month at college seems to never end—literally. Set during the 20th year of the nation's Rectification Era, A Long Refrain follows Melody Quick’s attempts to escape from the month-long time loop she's found herself trapped in. Her journey, which starts in the capital city of Somnhaven, will take her across the vast expanse of land once known as Circadia, whose forgotten histories, ancient secrets and eccentric inhabitants could hold the key to discovering the true nature of the loop and the role she herself plays within it. However, the more she learns, the more cruel truths she must face: Will she really be able to handle the awful reality behind the loop, and all that it entails? And will those very same answers she's found be enough to not only break her free from the loop, but to also protect the people she holds dear? (A-and from what, exactly ...?)
