A long tunnel blinked into existence before him. It was as simple as that. Its length shrank to nothing almost as soon as it appeared. Nathan felt the heat already. Even though the tunnel had shrunken, the area on the other side of it was a narrow...

He felt a sudden sharp pain in his temples. Nathan opened his eyes to make sure his little sister wasn’t clawing at his face or something equally as psychotic to wake him up. The light came in fuzzy, but he could confirm that there wasn’t a go...

Hey guys.

Gotta get this out of my system. Muahahahaha. Okay, all done. So I was sick last week, which slowed me down a little, but not too much. Instead of the kids getting me sick, I got them sick this time. Not that I'm really happy that...
