(C O M P L E T E D S T O R Y) Control... It was something that slipped through Kris' hands after the adventure in Darkworld. The Player was becoming more dominant, more determined. It was itching every bit of his being. He felt as if he was a toy, and his soul ached with every attempt of The Player to gain control. Due to this, he was forced to do something more, other than ignoring it. The pain was too much to handle. It was time to take desperate measures; ripping out his soul with aid of a knife. Feeling soulless and empty after it's removal. Susie, Kris' new friend, had been wondering of his constant emotionless state. But out of character for her, she helped him through it without prying. But the more Kris refuses The Player's plans, the more The Player gets stronger. Follow these two on their fight against the puppet master. •••••••••• (Story participated in the Wattys 2019) I said I'd do it, didn't I? I just feel determined right now. Help this determined soul.
