    CW: drug dependency, suicideTommy LaFontaine had always dreamt of going to other dimensions. No, he literally always dreamt of going to other worlds, and every time he did, he learned something new.For example, did you know there's a place where books read people? They have libraries instead of homes, and rather than dying they become overdue.

    Fear's Response

    Three college students made their way along the rocky dirt path that wound in between a dense forest of tower pines. The day started at a nice cool temperature, but now the students panted heavily and consistently wiped the sweat from their eyes. Ellie led a small redhead who had traversed this path many times and hiked often. Behind her, Sam wouldn’t stop talking, and coming up last was Amanda, quiet and lagging behind.
