Cautiously you take a seat on a rock, facing Harold across the firelight. The night is silent for a moment as you pause to consider the questions you might ask — silence broken only by the crackle of the fire or the occasional cricket song. After that moment, however, you relax and say the first…

Ward 32 – Episode 24
Nearly blind with terror, you take a few halting steps backwards away from the horror in front of you then, unceremoniously, you turn your back and run with all your might. Within a few seconds you’re almost off the bridge when you hear a terrible shattering sound behind you and you’re flung into the water…
Ward 32 – Episode 23
You tear off towards the bridge as fast as your feet can carry you, and it’s not long before you reach the rickety construction. Splintery, with hundreds of loose nails waiting to snag errant pieces of clothing — the bridge is a marvel of engineering (or at least it’s a marvel that it’s still standing)….
Ward 32 – Episode 22
There is a pause for a moment, and the world seems to settle. Everything slows to a crawl. Very slowly, as if he were moving against great resistance, Benziah begins to lift his hand towards your chest. For a very long moment, you are rooted to the spot by fear. Inch by inch, you see…
Ward 32 – Episode 21
Your surprise at seeing Benziah here takes the words from your throat. Benziah, however, seems to have no problem with the suddenly awkward silence. Calmly, as if you weren’t even in the same hallway, Benziah strolls to the still body of a nearby man. He stops briefly and places his palm on the corpse’s chest…
Ward 32 – Episode 20
With Carl zoning out, now’s your chance! You quickly reach down and grab what’s left of the plastic bag of yellow powder from his limp hand. Then, without looking back, you race to the trap door and slide it aside as quietly as you can. You swiftly peek your head outside to make sure there’s…
Ward 32 – Episode 19
With a shaky hand you quietly withdraw the plastic bag of yellow powder and hand it to Carl. Before you can reach in and get the lighter, spoon, and needle, Carl tears open the baggie and begins grabbing fingers full of powder and alternately putting them in his nose and mouth. In his eagerness you…
Ward 32 – Episode 18
You follow Carl further backstage. In his state of terror he is running with reckless abandon — dress hiked up above his denim-clad knees and knocking aside everything in his path. If you weren’t in so much pain, it might even be funny. You hope the painkillers will kick in soon so you can enjoy…
Ward 32 – Episode 17
“Sam,” you scream, “I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about! My name is Vlad, and I don’t know anyone named James! I don’t know what the fuck you’re doing with this play! All I know is that I cranked a fucking record player and now I’m in the middle of a goddamn MADHOUSE…”…
Ward 32 – Episode 16
You stammer for a moment, trying to regain your mental footing “Uhhh, it is clear to me that this… this [i]damsel[/i], does not return your affections… er… knight.” There’s a brief pause and the young man behind you in the dress whispers harshly, although his voice still sounds like he’s a bit out of it,…
