No5 - When the Shadows Loved Me
This is a story I've carried in my head for over ten years and follows my main character in the universe I named No5. Natalie has been running from her past, the police, and a life of endless hardships. But everything changes the night she stumbles into two men whom she can relate with in twisted ways. Partially inspired in by Marble Hornets and the Creepypasta fandom - though with these 10 years I've tried to reshape it into something entirely my own. As a full-time Master's student, chapters may take time, but I hope that the wait is going to be worth it.
