Prep

This story is a puzzle. A hard puzzle.

It is meant to be read more than once. The first read, you should have more questions than answers. All your theories will be wrong (though please post them in the comments - I will laugh seeing just how wrong they are). The second read, you will see the story for what it truly is - a masterpiece in web weaving and deception. Every detail matters. Every word matters. Every unsaid word matters.

If you are confused, good.
