What does it mean to be haunted? Long before the wood and stone began to crumble and crack, nothing sane or reasonable festered in the years the House stood empty. Holding whatever darkness and secrets within the walls of limestone and brick. No one, alive or dead, can truly prove to exist under the extreme conditions of the reality we have created or believe in. That I know to be true beyond belief, more than I could ever understand within the dream-like halls that rotted around me. Before you or I began to see where time left nothing spared, unchanged, or unchallenged. Amongst the places where mirrors are broken, doors are slammed shut, and brick walls hide where secrets and silence mix within the darkness that only I must traverse now. You are now complicit, dear reader, in the uncovering of what is within these pages of my experiences within the Crain House. And whatever walked there did not walk alone, knowing there is truth behind madness and lies.

At the prestigious Holomenji Academy, something confusing and somewhat terrifying happens in a bathroom. The problem is, nobody witnesses it. Desperate for an explanation, administrators reach out to the most availably viable solution they can find. The help they receive with what they thought was an isolated incident isn't exactly what they expected. (please excuse the lack of a new cover. Currently working on it.) Infinity Unraveled is a series of stories from all manner of times, places, and conditions that all will eventually overlap, the operative word being "eventually". Finding out how will require reading all the stories that are put out. They range from mystery to sci-fi, and it is my hope that all of them have at least something enjoyable in them. They come in collections, as you've see already, the first being The Beginning Corner. Make sure you read them in order! Actually, it might not matter terribly if you don't, but I would highly recommend it.
