W, an 11-year-old resident of a small midwestern city, finds themself called for jury duty in a property dispute over the underworld. It gets weird from there. Soon enough, the story unravels, revealing itself to have been some sort of poorly constructed metaphor the whole time.

A previous draft of Author's note received this praise:
"Cleverly written... Adventure Yarn. Probe the deep mysteries of life" -My Grandma

"The deepest trees of life?" -My Dad

"Witty, thought provoking... surprising" -Uncredited

This story has a sort of chaos in it that is easily explained by the way it has been haunting me for almost a decade. Over the years, I have attempted to squeeze it into a dozen different meanings, but my previous efforts, lacking an ending to limit them, always seem to bulge out through the cracks. It is a parasite on my soul. I cannot give it up and so have decided, instead, to publish it.

Don't read this story. It's bad.

Sincerely,
The Author

Eliona's War 3: Lethal Healer

78 parts Ongoing

When the truth comes out, there's nowhere left to run. Season 3 of Eliona's War *** When Seth received a new virtual reality video game from his uncle, he wasn't expecting to get swept up into a whole new world called Eliona. As it turned out, Eliona and its people are far more dangerous than Seth could ever have imagined. There is a real consequence to playing this game: it's changing him, and it might not be for the better. Now that Seth/Severance knows the truth of Eliona, there's no going back. Eliona is dying, and in order to save it, he needs to beat a very difficult dungeon before anyone else does. And on Earth, things are even worse. It's come to light that Eliona is leaving a mark on its players, and suddenly, everyone wants to be involved. Players find themselves with a target on their back, and Seth? He might just have the biggest one of all. Too bad for them, he's done running. *** Weekly updates on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wait & read for free, or unlock with coins-the choice is yours!
