Part 1 of 2 - My submission to the "Small and Scary" collaboration. with thanks to Garen Marie, Erica Drayton and Keith Long for organising and illustrating.
This is totally immersive. You must have this entire world and its doings inside your head somewhere. In which case, I do hope you'll stick with this campaign setting because I like it.
And this is an excellently written and intriguing story, with deliciously drawn characters. When's part 2?
Thanks Esther! there so many intriguing writers and styles here and some wonderful characters its a constant inspiration... good luck with your writing!
Thank you Garen … it would never have existed but for your encouragement and inspiration. you should be proud of what you helped us all achieve…and i didnt for dark tidings! 😎

Your imagination is fantastic, Nick. You do pull us in. Great characters, too.
Thanks Esther! lovely to hear from you and so happy you are reading my stories!
It's great to see you writing and so well. It's making me want to find more time to write my own! Very inspiring :-)

Loving this, Nick. Very immersive.
Thanks hanna!
i got a lot of part 3 done over The weekend but im suffering from “have an idea but no ending” syndrome HAHAHAH!
Tying up neatly is a bitch. Good luck!
Super super intriguing and expertly pulled me in. Super well done like wow. Inspiring writing all around
Hey thanks man! glad you like it! as usual, my simple idea is now perplexing me as to how to end the story!
A fabulous tale of intrigue! I’m off to read the second part, but I feel this should be a book. The world you’ve created is magnificent!
hi Liz… I haven't quite finished it yet… but should be ready today! glad you like it 😄
This is a fun fantasy read. Rich in intrigued and borrowed history.
Thanks Wendy! that was the idea kind of pseudo latin alterative reality… part 2 coming soon I promise! just away all weekend!
This is such intricate world-building, Nick. And beautifully crafted. I can't wait to see what happens next.
Nick, your ability to weave these rich worlds is extraordinary! I'm so intrigued to know what's beyond the black hole.

❣️❣️❣️❣️this makes my little dark heart happy ❣️❣️❣️❣️
What do you call it when all the characters, other than the dead guy, have no obvious redeeming qualities? Fascinating. That's what you call it...
Thank you so much! poor Corbis isnt too bad...and you will probably feel sorry for baron vastus . a bit.
Imaginative and immersive, Nick. I was racing through those diary entries; could feel you pick up the pace. I can't wait to see where it took you!
Thanks Ken. so glad those diary entries work... a few more to come...
You make me want to unearth my copies of the Gormenghast Trilogy, which I haven’t read for quite some time!
So immersive, Nick, so richly detailed! You’re a master at this style of writing.
Looking forward to the next instalment!
thats a huge huge compliment Zivah, thank you! still got a little bit of part 2 to write...
😊
I have every confidence it will be equally as wonderful as the first part.
I've been sucked in! I'm awaiting part two as patiently as possible. 😉
Thanks jeannine...the end is in sight i rhink... maybe tonight... im just seesawing over some possibly controversial content...
I can wait, seesaw away! 😎
I saved this one for last and it did not disappoint. Could be a whole novel. 👏
