by Panic Rising
Dark Fantasy. Progression. There's some girl picking berries for a chapter I'm sure before things go west. Or maybe north, I don't discriminate. What more do you want? As for the blurb: I'm not writing one. You cannot force me, you cannot make me, you can't even bribe me. I don't have the ability, the energy, nor the motivation to do it. I have free will and I will not use it for this. Release Schedule: One chapter.... On Monday... Wednesday... Friday I guess. Every week? What do you think.
