𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐩 𝐎𝐟 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚 (On Hold)
I'm Nathen Skiroe (I'm not the main character or the narrator); no, this tale is not about me. I'm that side character no one cares about; I was that ordinary guy who loved being in his own skin. I had good friends and no trauma (I even have a girlfriend) until the evening of the day prior to the first day of my senior year, and the first day itself started looping. Sounds cliché, like an old fable, and it's already happened in the movies, right? ... Six of us got stuck in this manhole, one of us could regenerate, and the rest of us, including myself, would die if killed and bleed if scathed. Only 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝘀 could regenerate. 𝗞𝗲𝗹𝘆𝗻𝗲𝗻 𝗬𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘀 was our hope, the leader, our friend, and the main character on the edge. Fin and Tris were our emotional support. My girlfriend Arnelia... Unfortunately, I got stuck, and fortunately, I'm with her. We were the six. And there wasn't a single problem. There were problems. One-the loop we got stuck in Two-Matt Wyljac's death Three-The deal I and Arnelia made with Kelynen's worst enemy... Four- Kelynen's obsession with the 'K' room But I would often wonder... Why Kelynen dealt with things alone... Nothing strange with him, but... You will never get to know some things until you force them out of his mouth. It was on one instance that I learned we had more than four problems. I would have expected the twist if I were watching a movie, but... I didn't because it was my real life, and even if somebody had warned me, I would have thought "No way that's gon' happen." But don't think you could see it coming. Psst I forgot... Welcome to Petra. Petra?... The school. Again: Don't believe everything Kelynen Yildras ever says to you... He is a good liar, I'm a better liar and I've had a good experience with that. Again and again: I'm a better liar than him.

In The End ~Watty2017 Entry~ (COMPLETE)
I never believed it would end like this. I was just watching Netflix when the power went out, then before I knew it everyone was screaming, then the school began to shake and fell to the ground. Only three kids in my entire school were spared, four if you count me. I found a group of people heading to the east coast for a boat trip to a supposed safe haven in India. They died of disease days later. I found their bodies by the river. But I guess this is my life now, surviving with a scared boy, a pair of twins and trying to make it to the next day. Start: June 27, 2017 End:September 12, 2017Complete
