[First attempt]
[Second]
Dear Agent,
I am seeking representation for my spiritual fiction novella, EXISTENTIAL FREEDOM, told in the second person and complete at 43,000 words. Inspired by the universe-bending narrative of Matt Haig's The Midnight Library and infused with the self-help message of mindfulness found in James R. Doty's Mind Magic, this story delves into themes of free will, mortality, and the essence of eternal existence.
Our freshly deceased protagonist- with no memory of their past life- finds themselves in a beautiful countryside shrouded within perpetual twilight. Guided only by an anxiety-ridden gut and a restless mind wracked with intrusive thoughts, they struggle to find their footing in this isolating yet serene realm. Even when discovering a lone community with friendly locals, they remain cloistered and mute out of irrational fear.
A lost soul deprived of confidence and will.
Enter Chief, a supernaturally perceptive figure who offers respite and wisdom to the weary traveler, teaching them how to calm their faculties and find stillness in the present moment. With their first steps toward what Chief terms 'existential freedom'—acceptance of the true self amidst the universal nature of 'nothingness'—they begin to see the world, and themselves, in a new light among the void.
Chief reveals he’s taught everyone in this town of the dead, but not all in the community have been so fortunate. Madness befalls those who peer too deeply into the abyss. Doubts then arise about Chief's true intentions as he chalks this up to ‘the beauty of free will’. As our protagonist grapples with self-imposed limits and discovers empathy for themselves and others, they are faced with a choice: to release their internal chains willingly or be eternally shackled to a false idea of themselves.
Only by confronting the abyss within can they transcend the boundaries of their existence and find direction past the unknown that lies beyond this twilight domain.
[BIO]

Hiiii! 28, female from North West, England. Not too sure what I'm looking looking for, other than someone to help combat the loneliness of life in general? I'm a very independent person and can appreciate my own company; however sometimes the silence can get me in my own head and I just want someone who can take that away. Just someone to chat bubbles with, about anything, everything and all the inbetween, the good, the bad, the downright ugly. I can be your personal cheerleader, celebrating your wins and helping you commiserate your losses! Someone who won't ghost and someone who's looking to be less lonely too! Those good morning and goodnight messages, that just make you feel like theres someone there for you and all the little messages in between that reminds you that you have another person thinking about you through the day! Typing this, maybe I DO know what I'm looking for after all 😅 I just want to be happy, but doesn't everyone? I'm sick of starting to talk to someone, for them to just disappear all of a sudden. I'm straight talking. If I'm not feeling it or vice versa, then just say! But I don't know.. maybe it's too much to ask for in this day and age? But I'll shoot my shot regardless, in the hopes that I can find someone who can make me as happy as I want to make them! I guess I'm just looking for my person?
A little about me to pad this out. I'm a bookworm, read anything and everything - any recommendations? Currently reading the ACOTAR series and I'm completely obsessed! I particularly like romance and thrillers, but I'm down to read anything. I have cats! They're cute, so I always welcome seeing your pet photos! Especially if they're super fluffy! Also 420-friendly! I'm what I'd call an 'experimental' chef, I see things to cook and try.. they always turn out bad.. or they set the smoke alarm off, soooooo any cooking tips would be much appreciated! Talking of which; what's your favourite food!?
Looking for sfw chats, definitely not wanting to see your trouser snake, no matter how great you may think it looks, keep it to yourself m'love!
If you're still reading, then I guess I havent bored you too much and maybe you're my person? We'll never know, unless you shoot me a message! I'll owe you a cookie.
If you've read this far and you're not interested in chatting, then I hope you find what you're looking for and have a good rest of your day! Don't let those Monday blues tomorrow get you down! ♥️

Previous Part
The first sound I heard that morning was foot steps outside my tepee.
“Get up! Shaoni wants you all in town.”
The gruff but familiar voice of my driver from three days ago shouted at me. It had to be some sick sense of humor on Shaoni’s part, sending this guy to come get me for things again and again. Honestly, even I was starting to feel bad for him. Bianca stabbed his friend I knocked him off that stage yesterday with one of the war clubs. I speak from experience when I say those things HURT.
“Alright alright, just give me a second to get dressed!”
I yelled back to the man as I rushed to get around inside. At least he had the common courtesy to stay outside. A minute or two later I stepped out to see everyone else gathered around the man. Brooke, Katrina, John, and Robert all stood there, just staring at me.
“Mornin’ sleeping beauty”
Robert finally said after what seemed like forever, nearly choking on laugher at his own joke.
“I thought you were never going to wake up. Did you not hear Shaoni last night? We were supposed to be up 6 sharp.”
He explained after his laughing fit. Apparently I had missed that bit of Shaoni’s whole presentation last night. Katrina grabbed a pair of keys out of her pocket and started walking away.
“Come on, we’ve got to get into town and finish this whole thing.”
She called back to us just a little too eagerly.
“She’s letting us drive? I thought she didn’t want us heading back to town without some kind of supervision.”
I questioned as we all walked toward the same beat up red pickup that had brought me here.
“I guess she decided to make an exception.”
Katrina replied, not even bothering to look at me.
“Besides I don’t think running is much of an option at this point.”
She continued, pointing up towards the sky. A storm was brewing there, a killer one by the looks of it. The odd thing was it didn’t seem to want to break, it was just stuck in that state right before it starts raining cats and dogs. The dark, angry clouds tapered off in the sky the further they got from town, Shaoni’s doing, it had to be.
The five of us would just about fit in the truck, not comfortably but we would fit.
“Oh hell no! I’m not dealing with you up here!”
“Why not?! You know you love it.”
Brooke and Katrina argued as he tried to take the passenger seat next to her.
“No you go in the back or I’m driving us straight into a tree, I can’t put up with you anymore.”
Katrina yelled at Brooke, tensing up and getting ready for a fight.
“Would you guys just knock it off! Just sit in the back Brooke, I’ll take the passenger seat.”
I scolded both of them, I was done with their little arguments, it was starting to get under my skin. An evil grin crossed Brooke’s face as he turned to me
“What’s up with you two? You’ve been all buddy buddy with him since we all beat the shit out of each other with wooden sticks. He didn’t get to you first did he? Hmmmm?”
Brooke prodded with a wink.
Katrina Immediately punched him in the face before I even had a chance to respond.
“Ey that’s a good right hook! Give em’ another one, come on come on!”
A heavily accented voice cut in from below my feet. Rocco had managed to slip in without any of us noticing. When Brooke lay eyes on him he just about jumped straight into the truck bed. Apparently whatever Rocco did to him yesterday had left quite the impression.
“I’m not even gonna ask, just shut up and take a seat.”
Katrina told Rocco, slamming her door shut as I took a seat next to her and Rocco hopped in the back. Robert and John pretty much made themselves flat to their doors as Rocco took a seat in between them in the back. Brooke rode in the bed, shooting nervous glances at Rocco every now and then.
Katrina drove like a bat out of hell through the woods and back into town. I’m not sure if she was in that much of a hurry to get all this over with or if she just hoped her crazy driving would throw Brooke overboard. Given where we were headed and how close we would probably be to Bianca, I can’t say I wasn’t hoping the same thing.
We pulled into the parking lot of the Save-A-Lot I’d gotten groceries from my first day here. The storm over head was raging but oddly enough It still wasn’t raining or anything like that. The wind was picking up and the sky looked absolutely sinister but other than that everything seemed fine in the town.
Before Katrina’s combat boots had even touched the ground she was already giving orders.
“Alright listen up, We’re working as a team this time wether you all like it or not. I want us to split up and see what we can find. Anything out of place, anything that seems suspicious, I want you to make a note of it. We have to figure out who the victim is going to be and who’s doing the killing. We have nothing to go on either so nothing is to small here. Lets all take a look around town and meet back here in two hours. That’s two hours sharp Keith!”
Katrina barked, taking charge of the situation and leveling one quick jab at me before turning on her heels and heading out into the town.
As everyone else hurried off in different directions I took a second to think. If I was looking for someone where would I go? Where in town would I most likely go no matter what? That line of thought is what led me to the front door of the Eagle’s Roost. Cliche I know, but a bar was a good a place as any to start, even if it was 8 in the morning. Maybe someone new had stopped by and Tuck would know something about it.
The door was unlocked as usual so I let myself in, if Tuck didn’t want guests I’m sure he’d lock it.
“Hey, Tuck? You in here?”
I called into the bar as I noticed the usually roaring stone fireplace had fallen silent.
“Tuck’s not here right now sweet heart, but I can take a message if you’d give me a moment.”
“Oh, ok take your time then.”
I answered before realizing the motherly southern voice couldn’t possibly belong to Tuck.
“Wait who are you?!”
I chirped as I rushed up to the bar and peered back into the kitchen where Tuck usually was. In his place was a dark skinned woman that looked a little older than Tuck. She wore a pink checkered shirt under an apron that read, “Kiss the cook”.
“My, I haven’t seen you around. I’m Richelle, Tucker’s wife.”
She answered. Her southern accent was smooth and calm. The exact opposite of Tuck’s brutal hillbilly speak that he tried to hide.
“Did he not mention me? He doesn’t like to introduce me to the new comers, always worrying about me that one.”
“No, I think he mentioned you helped keep this place running when I first met him.”
“He must like you then, most people round here don’t even know he’s married. Anyways what can I help you with sugar?”
Her motherly voice did wonders for my stress. I could see why Tuck married her, with just a few words I’m sure she could set anyone at ease.
“I was wondering if anyone new came into town or passed through here. Maybe someone out of place, something like that? Oh, and where’s Tuck?”
“Well I can help with both those things. There was a man here, got off a bus last night all alone and came right in. I don’t know what it was but I just had a bad feeling about him, made me shiver.”
She gave a little shiver at that, to demonstrate I guess?
“As for Tuck he’s been staying with those scientists and…. and I wasn’t supposed to tell anyone that.”
She explained, a look of embarrassment crossing her face as she finished.
Before I had a chance to respond I heard the door slam open behind me. I swore I heard someone shriek my name. All I saw before someone knocked me over the stool I’d been standing next to was a blur of black hair flying toward me, and bright glowing blue eyes.
Bianca wrapped me in a bear hug on the floor.
“What happened to you, are you hurt, how are you back!?”
She fired questions at me as fast as she could.
“Bianca, crushing my… can you just, ease up a bit.”
I pleaded as she squeezed me harder than a boa constrictor.
“Sorry! I just didn’t think I’d see you…”
She squeaked, trailing off suddenly. A single tear making its way down her face as she blushed slightly and released me. In that moment I realized Bianca, who had stabbed a guy not to long ago for grabbing her hand, just bear hugged me. I’m not sure what I felt about that but at the moment, I was just happy to see her and even happier that she was happy to see me.
“Shaoni let us back into town for the last of the trials. We’re supposed to stop a murder in town.”
“A murder?! Is that what you were asking about? Is that man a murderer? My, what is going on in this town.”
Richelle shrieked, reminding Bianca and I that we weren’t alone in here. I felt the hot blood rush to my face as I looked up to see Bianca blushing as well, even redder than before.
“So, did you end up finding anything out about Shaoni?”
I asked Bianca as we took a seat at the bar, getting straight down to business as Richelle started stress cleaning in the kitchen.
I was a bit surprised by what she said. I never expected Shaoni to be THE Thunderbird or a descendent of them. I was still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing.
“So she went into hiding here then? That cave we stumbled into that was connected to the mines. Was that her… nest?”
I thought out loud, hoping Bianca would have some kind of answer.
“I guess, that’s what Frank and Stein have been calling it too. Speaking of Frank and Stein we should probably go see them. We were planning to break you out today, guess we were a little late on that huh.”
Bianca said, getting up from her seat at the bar. I’m not sure reuniting with Frank, Stein, and the rest of them was the best idea. At the moment I didn’t have a whole lot of other options though. I got up and followed Bianca out the door, heading back to her house to call off their rescue mission.
“Good luck darlin’!”
Richelle called after us, I felt sure we could use all the luck we could get.
“How the hell’d ya get back here son?!”
Tuck asked as soon as Bianca and I walked through the front door. Rocco had already found his way back and had apparently been filling everyone in on what had been happening. Stein was unloading some sort of pistol with a long thin barrel on the kitchen table.
“I’m glad I won’t have to use this at least. It’s been… many years since I’ve had to take this out of storage.”
Stein explained to no one in particular while staring at the gun. No doubt it brought back memories of his time with the German military. Frank walked out of the basement at that moment and nodded to me.
“Glad to have you back Keith.”
He said, clapping a hand on my shoulder.
“It’s great to see you all but I can’t stay too long, I’ve got to go back.”
“WHAT?!”
Everyone yelled in unison, even Rocco.
“It’s the last trial and Shaoni is overseeing it personally. You see that storm outside? That’s all her, if I don’t go back she’ll know and I’m sure there will be consequences. Besides Brooke is here too, I don’t want to give him any reason to go looking for me and bump into Bianca.”
I explained to everyone, not enough to wipe the shock off all their faces but at least Stein seemed to understand. Just the mention of Brookes name made Bianca freeze up. Only for a second but I could see this tension pass over her whole body and her eyes suddenly glowed blue and widened with fear. I was paying so much attention to how she’d react to that name that I almost didn’t feel her reach out and squeeze my hand from her place at my side. She sighed quietly before her eyes returned to normal but she still kept my hand in hers.
“You can’t go back! We only just got you back!”
Bianca protested, but my mind was made up.
“I need to see this through and besides someone’s life is at stake. I should try and stop that at least.”
Bianca couldn’t argue with that, neither could anyone else. I could tell Tuck and her wanted to but they didn’t. All Tuck did was quietly nod his head and grunt. I could tell Bianca was running through every possible argument in her head to try and make me stay but wasn’t coming up with anything. Bianca let go of my hand and asked,
“Can I at least come with you? To help stop the murder I mean.”
She looked into my eyes like a puppy, begging me to say yes.
In any normal circumstance I would’ve given in immediately to that, especially coming from someone who looked like her. This time though, I just couldn’t. I couldn’t take the chance that Brooke would see her and something bad would happen.
“You can’t Bianca, I don’t want anything happening to you especially with… him out there. I think Shaoni offered to help him find you if he showed up for these trials or something like that. Either way I’m pretty sure he’s here for you.”
I told her as gently as I could. I could see her recoil at the idea that Brooke might be here just for her. She was scared, maybe more scared than she’d ever been that there was even a small chance of Brooke getting his hands on her again.
“I… no, no your right.”
I didn’t expect her to give in so easily but it was a welcome surprise.
“I hope you know what yer doin son.”
Tuck told me as I got ready to head back out. Frank and Stein cornered me before I could leave as well.
“Take this.”
Frank said, thrusting what looked like a jury rigged walkie talkie into my hands.
“If you need anything call us on that. We’ll help however we can, and don’t expect us to sit around quietly when you go back. We fully intend get you out still, no reason to let a perfectly good plan go to waste.”
I thanked them for the walkie talkie. I was glad they were still looking out for me even if I doubted they could do much against whatever was to come, it was good to have people in your corner. Bianca was waiting for me when I got to the door.
“At least I get to say goodbye this time.”
She said with a little smirk. She’d been acting different since I got back, much more… personable?
“Yeah I guess so. What’s been up with you? You’ve been acting… different.”
I asked her, a little nervous for some reason.
“You helped me… a lot actually. Your the first person who’s really cared about me in years.”
“That’s not true, look at Frank and Stein.”
I responded, missing the point of what she was saying.
“No, not like that. I mean your a friend, a good friend… no that’s not, ugh.”
She said, shaking her head and looking a little embarrassed. Then she did something I really didn’t expect, she leaned over and kissed me.
“Just… make sure you come back ok? For me.”
She added as she pushed me out the door, starting to turn lobster red. My head was spinning but there was a bug dumb smile on my face, I’m sure of that. Filled with all the confidence that brought me, I headed back to the Save-A-Lot to see what everyone else had turned up on the impending murder.
As I walked back lighting began to crack across the sky. The lightning took all kinds of unnatural shapes. I swore one time it almost looked like a pair of eyes, watching me from the sky.
“Alright everyone, I want reports!”
Katrina shouted like a drill instructor, bring the group of us gathered around the hood of the truck to attention.
“The elderly cashier inside, she was… disquieted. More so than I would expect of someone in this strange town.”
John spoke, saying the first words I’d ever heard from him in a wise sage-like voice.
“I looked around for some kinda police station but this shit hole town doesn’t have one. How the hell am I supposed to report a murder if there’s no police!”
Brooke complained to the crowd.
“So, you accomplished absolutely nothing, I kinda figured that.”
Katrina scoffed at him.
“Yeah there hasn’t been a police station here as long as I remember. We never needed one, everyone either moved on to fast or stuck around and just wanted to be left alone, never caused any problems. Still, it’s a little strange come to think of it, would’ve figured the government would make us have some kind of police.”
Robert informed us before giving his own report.
“I looked around a bit myself, didn’t come across much on account of there not being all that many people to talk to in this town. Those old scientist types in the big white house never answered the door when I knocked and I couldn’t find their daughter.”
To my horror Brooke’s eyes lit up and he was suddenly razor focused on what Robert had to say.
“I did see some guy I’d never seen in town before walking around. Didn’t want to talk much though, he just turned around and walked the other way as soon as he caught sight of me.”
Robert finished with a shrug. Brooke seemed less interested after he heard nothing else about the daughter Robert mentioned. Did he know Robert was taking about Bianca?
“Wait that strange guy, was he wearing an old hat? Some kind of bowler I think, looked really out of place.”
Katrina asked suddenly, her eyes lighting up.
“Yeah now that you mention it I think he did.”
Robert answered after thinking for a second.
“Damn it! He saw me and ran when I was searching around town myself. So next order of business we find that guy. Keith! Did you see anything else?”
Katrina asked, whirling around to face me.
“I stopped by the bar and the bartender there told me someone new came into town a few days ago. Apparently she had a bad feeling about him. Maybe its the same guy you two saw?”
I proposed, pointing to Robert and Katrina. Katrina paced around for a bit, thinking I guess. She finally came to a rest again at the front of the truck, apparently she’d come up with another plan.
“Alright, I want that guy in the bowler hat found so we’re breaking into teams of two.”
“Uh, isn’t there five of us, that won’t work.”
Brooke interjected, earning him a look of pure murder from Katrina.
“Keep that up and I’ll find that raccoon, you can pair up with him!”
She yelled completely over Brooke’s attitude.
“I’ll go alone, Robert, John, you two are together same with you Keith and asshole.”
“I have a name you know!”
Brooke complained, getting yet another look from Katrina. If he kept that up I had a pretty good idea of exactly who the murderer and victim would be.
“Alright alright Jesus lady cool your jets!”
He said, putting his hands up in surrender as Katrina took a threatening step towards him.
A few minutes later Brooke and I had broken off from the other three having all agreed to meet up back at the truck in another hour. Brooke had insisted we go to the bar and search for the guy but I had a feeling there was more to it than that. He proved me right when he ducked into an alley and pushed me up against the side of a building right on main street. Usually that would be instantly seen by someone but here wasn’t like anywhere else. There was no one around to help me out or even see what was going on.
“I know we’re supposed to be looking for a murderer but I’ve got other things in mind. That daughter Robert was talking about, you know something about her don’t you.”
Brooke questioned with a growl, arm against my throat holding me uncomfortably tight against the building.
“Daughter? What are you talking about?”
I choked out, deciding to play dumb. He didn’t like this to much and pushed me even harder against the wall.
“That raccoon mentioned her name the other day when the fuckin thing attacked me and it seems pretty buddy buddy with you! Bianca! ring any bells!”
I felt my face grow red at the mention of her name as I thought back to the way she kissed me at the door. That reaction betrayed me and the beginnings of a twisted smile appeared in Brooke’s eyes.
“Oh yeah, you know her don’t you? Know what she can do to I bet. Did she tell you about me, how she threw away everything I could’ve given her.”
He hissed at me, venom dripping off every word.
“At first I didn’t care but then I heard stories of this whore who could wrap you around her finger like nothing else. She’d do whatever you wanted but you’d also pay whatever she asked, do whatever she asked. Imagine my surprise when I started looking into it and it turned out to be my little escaped bird.”
Brooke continued, grinning like a mad man. He was obsessed with her, it didn’t take a genius to see that. But I was in no position to argue with him, I could barley speak with the pressure on my neck from his arm.
“They called her a succubus, the crazy ones at least. Turns out they were right though, there was something off about her from the first day I met her but I had no idea she was something exotic like that. See I make a habit of collecting things, rare things, and she’s the rarest I’ve ever been able to find. I was so close to having her at one point but she just had to break away. When I met Shaoni late one night researching the supernatural she agreed to look into her for me on one condition. I agree to show up in this town in the ass end of nowhere and participate in some trials for her. Easiest deal I ever made, now I’m this close to getting my hands on her again. Imagine what she could do for me, what I could get with her powers.”
Brooke finished his monologue, finally letting me go.
“Now you’re going to show me where she is and I’m going to get the hell out of here. Get going!”
He shouted at me, drawing a pocket knife from his white suit jacket.
My first reaction was to look around and search for a way out. I couldn’t fight him, that was clear. I really didn’t want to get stabbed either. My eyes darted around trying to find anything that could get me out of this. Then I found exactly what I was looking for on the other side of the street.
Katrina had found the man in the bowler and he was running back toward the Save-A-Lot like Usain Bolt himself.
“Katrina, HELP!”
Brooke whipped his head around, trying to catch sight of her before she did anything. Katrina wasted no time though. She took one look at him, pulled the gun from its holster on her waist, and fired. The crack of the bullet made me run on pure instinct and Brooke dropped to the ground. It hadn’t hit him unfortunately, but it had bought me enough time to run.
“Argh that bitch! I’ll find her myself!”
Brooke shouted before getting back to his feet and running the other direction. The guy Katrina had been chasing used the distraction to make some distance on her. He was nearly to the corner that turned towards the Save-A-Lot. I took off after him as Katrina did the same, ripping the walkie talkie from my pocket as I ran.
“Stein get Bianca out of there! Head out to the mine, maybe there aren’t to many people there now, just get her out of town! Brooke is here and he’s looking for her I’ll meet you once this is all over ok.”
I think Stein said something back but I didn’t catch it. The adrenaline spike of getting shot at and chasing this guy who was likely a soon to be murderer made it hard to hear.
We weren’t as fast as we hoped but we were just fast enough to see the consequences of that. As Katrina and I got into the parking lot the guy was already inside, pointing a gun of his own at the elderly cashier that gave me a hard time about my ID. I made out the movements of her lips just before he pulled the trigger. It looked like she said “Oh, you’re the one she sent then.” Just before he killed her.
I stopped dead when I saw the body drop, I’d never seen someone die before. In Imalone people had died but I’d been knocked out for most of it. Seeing it up close though, it made my stomach drop. I fell to my knees and threw up on the spot, the blood, god the blood splatter behind her it was horrible.
Katrina didn’t stop after the shot, if anything she charged in even faster. The gun was still in her hand and she held it up in front of her, using the weight of the gun to smash through the glass doors with the bottom of the grip. The shards of glass rained down on the murderer who surprisingly, seemed just as stunned as I was by the corpse. Katrina dropped her shoulder and charged into him, hitting him so hard they both fell to the ground. She was back on her feet quick as lighting, flipping the guy over onto his front and putting a knee on his back in between his shoulder blades. Katrina locked his arm behind his back and said something I couldn’t hear. At that point I kinda spaced out. The only other thing I remember before getting in the truck was Katrina leading the man out of the store with his hands zip tied behind him. The few people who were in the store had come out and were starting to pick over the scene as we shot out onto the road back to the mine.
I noticed one of us was missing when we came to a stop.
“Where’s Brooke?”
“I wasn’t waiting for him, not after whatever he pulled in town. He can find his own way back.”
Katrina answered me while pushing the man she’d apprehended out of the truck and toward the entrance to the mine.
“Are you doing ok? You looked a little white on the way out here, like you saw a ghost.”
Robert asked me as we got out and followed behind Katrina.
“Sure sure I just… never saw someone die like that you know.”
I said, never so sure that I wasn’t ok. Robert gave me a knowing nod as we made our way down to the coliseum.
Shaoni and Katrina were waiting for us already. Brooke was there too, beaten and bloody against the wall. It looked like someone had dragged him back here against his will, probably Shaoni if I had to guess.
“I can’t say I’m pleased with what went on in town but in the end you did discover the murderer, even if it was too late. Now it’s time for the second part of this trial. I want to hear your judgements, what should this man’s punishment be?”
Shaoni greeted us, ignoring everything that had gone on before like it didn’t even matter. Something about that made my blood boil.
“Katrina, you first. What should this man’s punishment be?”
“P please.. you said.”
The man muttered before Shaoni slapped him hard across the face.
“You will be silent!”
She ordered, the room suddenly becoming electric with her temper. Katrina stepped up in front of Shaoni and gave her judgment.
“He took a life, he should be killed as well. It’s the only way to be sure he doesn’t do something like that again.”
Shaoni nodded at that and pointed to me.
“You next Keith, what should we do with him?”
I was filled with a rage I’d never felt before as I looked at the whole situation. Shaoni was meant to be a spirt of justice, or so I thought. Yet she let that woman die. Worse still, after what the woman said I believed Shaoni may have arranged the whole thing, murderer, victim, and all. That’s not justice, that’s playing god, using her power and influence to mess with people like pieces on a chessboard and for what? Just so she could “test” a few people who’d caught her eye?
“You deserve punishment Shaoni. That man is innocent, you put him up to it didn’t you? Him, the victim, all of it! It’s all just some kind of game to you isn’t it?! You keep claiming you represent justice but from what I’ve heard you’ve had a problem with that. This is something else though, where is the justice in this Shaoni, where! I don’t pretend to know what you’ve been through over the years Justice, but this isn’t right. If it was up to me this man should be let go so he doesn’t have you whispering in his ear and you should go back to sleep like you had been years ago.”
I shouted at her, not caring what she would do to me. It felt good though, to finally let her have it, especially after all she’d put me through.
I learned Shaoni’s real name from Bianca but hearing it seemed to make her shrink. The second I said it I had her full attention.
“No! You don’t understand Keith! These people were terrible, guilty of their own crimes. I found them both and offered them a deal. Submit to my judgment or do something for me and face the judgment of another. They got their punishments, I’m no monster!”
She roared back, the beginning of tears brimming in her eyes.
“Guilty or not you used them like pawns Justice! None of this is right, there’s no justice in it, no right and wrong. It’s just a game to you! Don’t you see this is wrong!”
I yelled at her again.
“DON’T YOU USE THAT NAME!”
She thundered back.
“Would you prefer Vengeance?!”
I added, shattering her.
The mention of that name brought Shaoni to tears and she lost her temper. She threw her hand out toward the man still zip tied on the ground in an act of anger. The tattoos on her arms glowed with a blue, ghostly light. The energy grew until a bolt of lightning arced from the tattoos, filling the room with the scent of ozone. The bolt hit the man in the head, searing the skin of his face black in an instant as his body went still.
“You don’t understand, all those years, all those mistakes. Do you know what that…!”
Shaoni started to scream to me again, but she was cut off by the sound of vehicles above us and the cracks of gunfire.
I looked around in surprise, still in shock after the brutal death of the murderer in front of me. I saw Katrina holding her own walkie talkie and smiling.
“Looks like my ride is here, time to end this little charade. Keith, I’d suggest running if I where you. Shaoni, I’d say its been fun but you’re the whole reason they sent me out here in the first place. You’ve been way too much trouble but for what its worth, good luck.”
Katrina hissed at the two of us. Robert, John, and I were stunned, even Shaoni herself seemed shocked back to reality by whatever was happening. With her piece said, Katrina turned and walked out of the mine, towards the growing sounds of shouting and gunfire coming from outside.

I’m in a fortunate position to have access to circa £100k, this money is available from friends/investors, with the intention to invest it in property in one way or another.
The likelihood is that we will be undertaking a textbook purchase, renovate, sell type scenario, depending on the property..
I’ve renovated 2 now, both of which have been my PPR but have stood me in a good position, the first making £70k profit, my current one will stand me at a realistic profit of circa £100k if we decide to sell. Renovations are a seemingly low risk, lower reward and a proven concept for me now, which leads on to the below…
I’m interested in knowing the potential gains from a development, how much is a typical average 3 bed starter home likely to cost build wise? A plot alone might be £50-100k in my area, an assumed £100k build would potentially/optimistically leave £120k profit in the same area… does this seem right? Is £100k a fair enough budget to build a textbook ‘Persimmon spec’ place?
Im an electrician by trade, and have a good book of colleagues and friends in most trades aside from the ground works aspect..
Thanks in advance - I hope to hear some real life examples from you guys!

Sorry, this is a bit of a rant.
I [m31] have never been in a relationship and I am genuinely confused as to why as I feel like I have a lot to offer. I think I’m relatively good looking. I have a full head of hair, I am in good shape and have good skin. I am only 5’9 so maybe that is my biggest flaw appearance-wise. However, I don’t think my appearance is the issue since I do sometimes get approached by women and have even been asked out on first dates a few times. It’s always very flattering but I have just never felt any kind of attraction towards these women so have politely declined. Maybe my expectations are too high but I would at least like to date someone who isn’t overweight.
I make a decent living and I’m probably in the top 10% of earners in the city I live in. However, my job does not take over my life and I have plenty of free time which I mainly spend on going to the gym, playing football and hanging out with friends.
I have lots male and female friends and a few of my female friends have told me that they can’t believe how I’m still single and would love to set me up with someone. When I tell them that I would be down for that, they just say that they can’t think of anyone suitable since most of their friends are taken.
I have tried dating apps and I get a few matches a week but most of these matches are with women I’m actually not that interested in and have swiped on them mainly out of desperation for any matches. The few good matches I do get usually ghost me after a few messages or don’t even bother replying to the first message. I ended up deleting the dating apps because it was seriously hurting my self-esteem.
I am also active in a church and have met some really cool women there and have gone on dates with some of them. But everytime I feel like things are progressing well they have ended things with me, either because they met someone else or they didn’t feel the ”spark”. Admittedly, I’m a bit shy and it takes me a while to warm up to someone new before I feel like I can be myself around them so maybe I’m not quite as charming and playful during the first couple of dates as I could be but I feel like we usually have a good time and I can make them laugh and they are comfortable with physical contact so not quite sure what I’m doing wrong.
I’m now in a situation where I feel absolutely hopeless that I’ll ever be in a relationship. I feel like the fact that I’ve never been in a relationship is a massive red flag for women and as soon as they learn that, they’ll dump me. I’ve been thinking of giving dating apps another shot but I’m hesitant to do that given the horrible experience I had last time with them. What can I do to get more matches with women that I actually would be interested in?
Is there something obvious that I’m missing that is making me undateable or am I just extremely unlucky?

TW: Miscarriage
My domestic partner suffered a devastating miscarriage in January of 2023. Subsequently, our fertility doctor sent the fetal tissue to a third party provider for lab services to determine whether a chromosomal abnormality was the cause. Since then, we've been fortunate enough to have a beautiful healthy baby girl. It wasn't until April of this year (a year and three months after the service) that we received a bill in the mail for $799 from a company called Natera. The bill was for the lab services requested by our doctor, and the bill explained that our insurance refused to cover the services, so we would instead be on the hook for the payment.
Setting aside that this bill was a slap in the face and reopened the wound of an upsetting point in our lives, Natera is in-network, and this service should absolutely have been covered by my health insurance. I'm fortunate enough to have good insurance through my work, and, through my benefits, a patient advocate who sometimes acts as a buffer between employees and our insurance company. I reached out explaining the situation, and my patient advocate reached out to Cigna, my insurance company, who explained that Natera had failed to complete a preauthorization before the service, which is why their claim was rejected, but that they were "prohibited from billing the patient." When I looked in my Cigna portal, I saw the claim and EOB, which indeed noted multiple times that this was a mistake of the provider's, and that I was not on the hook to pay anything, even noting that if I had already paid the provider, I should request reimbursement from them.
Cigna in turn reached out to Natera, who said they would submit a new claim with retro preauthorization. However, I never saw a new claim surface in my portal, and we continued getting more mail from Natera with increasingly urgent language about our bill being "PAST DUE." Not knowing what else to do, I called Natera billing myself on three occasions to speak directly with customer support. The first time, the specialist said she would escalate the matter to her supervisor and that I should see the balance on my bill go back to zero at payment.natera.com within a week (it's been over a week and the balance is still $799). The second time, I was disconnected. The third time, the specialist told me to hold while he connected with customer support, and, over the course of a half an hour, repeatedly returned to the line every two minutes to robotically let me know he was still waiting for a response and could he put me on a brief hold. In the third instance I told him "I know this isn't your fault, but I've been on hold with you for a half an hour; can you just call me back when you hear from them?" He said he would call back in between 30-60 minutes and never did.
I submitted a message to Natera's online portal explaining the situation, the research I and my patient advocate did confirming this was Natera's fault and that it was not just to be billing me for their mistake. I noted that Natera had told my insurance they would resubmit the claim but that no such claim had surfaced. A week later, I received a response thanking me for choosing Natera and saying that because their claim was rejected by insurance, they had no choice but to bill me (citing the original claim from a year ago — not even noting any new claim with retro preauthorization).
I am writing this in part because I am at my wits end being harassed by Natera — while also trying to parent my infant daughter and return to work — and unsure how to proceed getting this nightmare resolved. Furthermore, I want to spread the word that Natera's billing department is cruel and predatory, and hopefully assure someone else in my shoes that they aren't alone. Upon research, it sounds like Natera has been accused and even brought to court for ripping off customers with bogus bills, so I can only hope they're brought to some semblance of justice.
On the first point — my being unsure how to proceed — any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help.

Is anyone experiencing problems signing into Kobo? I have tried the desktop app, the IOS app and the website - I keep getting an error message. My password is correct. I have cleared cache/cookies on my browser. All the usual troubleshooting steps.
I think it has something to do with captcha.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? If so, have you found either an explanation or a solution?
I'm located in the US, if it makes a difference.

Writing for a friend, F20. She has had this condition since she was a small child but has never sought treatment for it. I know that she needs to see an actual psychologist, and she knows this as well, but she doesn't seem inclined to do so, so I'm just making this post as a starting point toward some answers. I'd appreciate any input y'all could offer.
Basically, her main symptom is that once in a while - usually once every month or two - and only ever late at night, she begins to act childish and irrational, then has no recollection of the event the next day. For instance, she might announce that she is going to go buy candy at 1am. (Alternatively, she might just scroll on Instagram for a while and then go to bed - whatever she feels like during that episode.) She also gets very honest and will not deceive or withhold information in this state. She still answers to her name, but she speaks with a slightly different voice and says/does things that she would never normally do. The only way to get her to stop is to make her go to bed; when she wakes up the next morning, she'll be back to normal, with no memory of the event.
She only knows about this because of observers telling her about it or because she'll notice that she has sent messages or moved items when she wakes up the next morning. She doesn't usually have any warning that it is coming, though sometimes it seems to follow a period of intense anxiety. She avoids it by keeping a regular sleep schedule, but even then, it will always come eventually. Longest she's ever gone without it happening is about 4 months, shortest stretch between episodes is a week.
She had been working off the assumption that this was some sort of schizophrenia, though to me it sounds more like a dissociative disorder. That said, it doesn't match the description of any dissociative condition I've been able to find. I also do find it interesting that she doesn't use an explicitly distinct identity (for instance, her name stays the same), and that this only ever occurs late at night when she is sleep-deprived.
I'm just making this post because it happened again last night - she sent me some texts that didn't make sense and didn't sound like her. Fortunately, nothing bad happened - she just fretted for a while about different pajama patterns, basically - but this could definitely become a danger to her if she were to do something really reckless in the future. I know she needs to see a professional, but in the meantime, does anyone know what on earth this could possibly be?

Anyone pay TEPCO via sms? I vaugely remember paying mine at a conbini but I got a text threatening to cut my power if I don't pay in 24hrs so I guess not.
I input my card info (after some difficulty) and after hitting pay it loads for a sec then takes me to the homepage. Afterwards, the link doesn't work until I clear cookies then I can do the whole process over again. Infinitely.
I have no confirmation email and I don't even see a charge on my card. It is night time and I know Japan is notorious for some systems being manually processed when theyre automated in other countries (like payments) so I was wondering if this is normal and not being able to reopen the link without clearing cookies is some crude method to stop me from trying to pay more than once
Anyone have any experience with this? Seems odd and really, I'd like to /not/ have any downtime of electricity.
EDIT: I have two sms messages. One links to the actual website and makes me pay there, one linked to a payment portal. The payment portal one was a scam and it was a terrible coincidence they showed up around the same time.

Hi! I’m looking to make friends that share any of my interests and would like to chat/play games/watch things together sometime!
My main interest atm is Milgram, and I’m also into a lot of other series involving music - like Project Sekai, Hypnosis Microphone, Ensemble Stars, Bandori, Idolm@ster. I'm big into anime and have been a fan of it since I was a teenager. So I have seen a LOT. JJK and Mp100 are two of the most recent ones I've been really into. Aside from the rhythm games I mentioned before (Sekai, Enstars, Bandori) I also regularly play Mobile Legends, and have Among Us/Roblox/Fortnite/Town of Salem downloaded. I’m very open for trying new games and watching almost anything anime wise you'd want to watch together, I’d prefer games I could play on my phone/Switch though, because my computer is pretty old and doesn’t do well with gaming anymore. I prefer to talk through text, but I’m open for calling once I’ve known you for a while and feel comfortable. It takes me a while to get to that stage, because of my anxiety and all. I talk primarily on Discord, and will add you to my contacts if you’d like to chat or hang out! I just ask that because of my age you’re 20+ if you message me, thank you.

Name: Charity
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Height: 4' 11"
Date of Birth: March 20, 1985 (Registered as January 10, 2009 due to differences in time)
Residence: Uva Academy
Occupation: Student
Ability: Flower Gift
Backstory: Charity is a Faller from the year 2000, who's only heard of Pokemon from her best friend Adam. Due to circumstances outside of control she ended up in the Pokemon world and was immediately attacked by a trainer with a Houndoom.
Fortunately she was saved by a Audino she named Clementine and they traveled to Paldea, where she is currently enlisted in Uva Academy to get general experience and knowledge on the world at large.
Due to head trauma from a fall on Glaseado Mountain, Charity temporarily lost her ability to speak to humans, only making Armarouge noises. She's since relearned to read, write, and speak but sometimes slips into Armarouge when she's stressed or tired.
Due to a potion gifted to her, she was temporary a Cherrim with the long term side effect of gaining Flower Gift.
Recently she ran into Brandon, the trainer that previously attacked her. Both him and Levi, the trainer who pushed her on Glaseado Mountain, were arrested. She chose to take in an purify Justine, as well as Mocha, Callisto's abused Cinccino.
Appearance: Mid length brown hair, green eyes, tends to wear the full Uva uniform to cover severe burns on arms and legs while in school. Outside of school she tends to wear an Audino hoodie.
Personality: Charity is very kind and caring and struggles with making her own decisions. She tends to follow others in what they think is best, even if she thinks it's a bad idea. She always tries to do the right thing.
Likes: Emmeline, Nemona, her Pokemon, general arts and crafts (she loves knitting)
Dislikes: Levi, Sons of Arceus, Fire Attacks, feeling guilty

Hello! I've come across a few posts here detailing a similar scenario and I'm posting mine on the off chance (and out of desperation) that someone now has a solution or success story:
I have been using the Adobe suite for at least 16 years — I bought CS4 as a disc when it came out in 2008. For the past few years, I've been fortunate to have an Enterprise account through my membership with a local organization.
I use these programs daily for my work. I am still logged in on my desktop Creative Cloud account, as well as on my Chrome + Safari browsers. I haven't changed my password, and it is saved on all devices.
I recently got a new iPhone and transferred all data over. Two days ago, I opened Lightroom mobile and was prompted to login — typical of having a new phone. Turns out, I have 2FA enabled and noticed an old phone number listed. I have two verified emails with my Adobe account so I selected this option, received the code, pasted it, and it was accepted. Then it makes me choose another way to verify. Since the phone number is deactivated, I select the Adobe Account Access app. When I reached the app, I received a message that "Adobe reset my password" and I'd need to make a new one to continue.
And this becomes my endless loop: while I had access to two verified emails and the authenticator app, now I don't because adobe reset my password. And there is an old phone number associated with the account.
As many of you have detailed: according to Adobe, despite 16+ years with my account, the only solution is to make a new account. This seems so bizarre to me that there aren't other ways to verify, or that a specialist is unable to access my account to either change the phone number or reset the password for me.
Again, I'm still logged in on the desktop Creative Cloud and the browsers. I can see all my account info, and even click buttons to either "remove phone number" or "change phone number" or "change password" but I'm then prompted to login again and can't move forward. And since I use these programs daily for work, I'm scared to logout.
One Enterprise specialist I spoke to yesterday suggested that I do a conference call with an enterprise support agent, myself, and the IT or admin of the Enterprise account of the organization that I'm part of. I'm not sure why this would have been suggested right after telling me it's not possible to access my account and I should make a new one. I know that admins of Enterprise accounts can choose to enable/disable 2FA for everyone, but I don't know that that would help or even be applicable to my issue. Another question: by chance would the Enterprise admin have access to the phone number associated with my account and change this detail on their end? I certainly did not give them this number as it had long been deactivated before I joined the Enterprise account, but perhaps it still shows up? I also don't want to waste their time doing a conference call if there is nothing they can do to help.
In sum: it is mind blowing to me that I didn't have any prior issues accessing my account, despite the old phone number, because my password is saved, I have two verified emails, and had access to the Adobe Account Access app. But because ADOBE reset my password, and I can only receive verification emails, I now have to make a new account?! There has to be another way!
Thanks in advance for any advice!
