Alright, so in order, we have Hogg, Lumina, Tawna, Myra, Brin again, and Zilly.
Brin still doesn't have any scars, but I think this one is a better fit. It's really no use asking AI to draw scars, much easier to just add them later on your ...
Story update: I went back and made some changes to Chapter 20. (This post is available publicly so minor spoiler warning) I had originally planned a conversation between Hogg, Elmon, Tawna and Brin to start off Book 2, but I realized it made more ...

Brin ended up waking up after all. He sort of expected to be in his room. He wasn't in his room. He was in his bed, and that was his wardrobe with his clothes, but the room was different. Looking down, he was naked under the blanket, unless you co...

2023-08-07 16:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostThis couldn’t be real. Somehow, Brin had convinced himself that these creatures from his nightmares would stay in his nightmares. That was how he’d gotten himself to be able to sleep at night. He’d convinced himself that they were gone, that...
