Chapter 07: Of a feather.
Barong wasn't the big lumbering dolt I had initially assumed he'd be, and I suppose that's my fault for thinking such. The man was a giant, but he seemed to be honest with me. His words were cryptic, sure but I was already here, so I might as well enjoy it before I conjure up another room to be stuck in for all eternity. He spoke so smooth, and his voice was so bass-filled I thought my heart was going to vibrate out of my chest. It was strange trying to find out what made this man tick, but it was as if he knew I was trying to figure him out. Looking down at me, he grinned, before answering most of the questions I
Chapter 06: Spectrum

Chapter 04: In Retrospect
This had to have been the most ridiculous day in my entire life. Not because of nearly dying three thousand times, but because I had no idea what in ten types of fuck was going on anymore. Look, I'm in a hospital again, but this time it was packed with people from what I could hear.
