(Really old work, will contain inconsistencies and errors)

(Work Dated: April 2018)

An old factory stands tall and alone in a barren field. A sprawling family manor was recently renovated into an international hotel. With its quaint streets with cafes, antique lamp-posts and rustic comforts, it is a town clothed in blooms, forests and apples. 

Rasüte could be described in these three lines to any outsider visiting it. To an inhabitant, however, the town soon becomes a house of mirrors. It becomes an infernal laboratory maze, where humans are the mice chasing chunks of cheese.

He introduced himself as Neil Haufer in the meetings. His mirror reflection always showed a dark skinned man in his mid thirties. He had bid goodbye to his wife and six year old daughter when he started his journey that day. He trusted his two co-workers, the shy Firenze Di Mario and the introverted Helga Koch, completely when they walked into the town.

But as the three learn, Rasüte changes people in more ways than one. The stakes are their lives, their memories, and their very essense. Taunting them in the darkness that is the town, with its unwilling allies, is the prime experimenter trying to create a creature called a Nightwalker.

Reflected sorrows

40 parts Complete

A lost, grieving soul enters the jaws of an insatiable beast, where the eyes of uncannily well-preserved paintings reach for her weary, lonesome corpse like crows. This mansion has no history to be felt or heard; it's as if the rooms are hollow and ravenous, their stale tranquillity broken by irregular draughts that send shudders down her spine as oppressive as the clattering of a needle to the floor. There lie secrets. Secrets and betrayals. In the mirrors, familiar faces crawl out from their eternal doom to grasp her pale skin and whisper trenchant advice into her ears with a sickly tongue, hearing her heartbeat like the ticking of a clock; candles that breathe within her. Those faces have lain so long in wait among the stitches and threads of madness, waiting for her arrival. Though the hours crawl onwards, she remains, watching and listening to the whispers of sorrow that lurk behind her at every acrimonious gust of wind howling through the mouth of the great beast. What awaits her within these halls, engulfed in oppressive, potent mists of grief? Who may she meet in the reflections of trembling malady? Through it all, that face haunts her every step. Yellow skin and seething eyes. Ink-stained and bloody. Cackling as insidious as death. Woeful as grief.
