Transcript[]

He'd been on the trail of the writer forever. The writer he despised. Hemingway. Bukowski. Wake. "I'll get you. I'll find you. I'll make you pay. You're in over your head."

He descended into the tunnels. From the dark city. Into the ocean of darkness. Next stop, Caldera Street Station. Something, a presence, rumbled. Not a train. Shadows shifted on the platform. The writer's cult waited for him there. The Cult of the Word.

A cultist leaned close. "I carry his words close to my chest now. You're not allowed in the lake until he says otherwise."

He'd be caught. Murdered. They got him. They didn't get him. He was reborn out of hate. He was there, but he was risen. Sent to find the lightswitch up from the lake that was not the lake.

Location[]

The page can be found on the third loop of the Witch's Ladle Overlap, lying on the ground in front of a tree. Alternatively, it can be found near the Witch's Ladle, off the main path.
