Chapter two is preceeded, as you noted before, with a picture of a human skeleton. The lower half of the skeleton seems to be in the process of turning to dust and is blowing away in the wind. Below the image is an eight pointed star — a symbol for absolute chaos. The pages of…
Ward 32 – Episode 27
Your choice made, you begin to read through the huge tome. Turning to the first page of chapter 1, you make a surprising discovery! Right before chapter 1 begins is a page that you don’t remember seeing when you first scanned through the book… either it wasn’t there before or the pain and lack of…
Ward 32 – Episode 26
“I’m not leaving you behind again, pal.” You sling Harold’s uninjured arm over your shoulder. “We’re in this together. Besides… who else is gonna watch over me while I sit down and take a leisurely read?” Harold doesn’t argue, he just nods and stands up with you. Together, the two of you limp through the…
Ward 32 – Episode 25
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.

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…
