Thomas Zane's Writing and Assistant is one of the Collectibles found in Alan Wake. It is one of the pages of the Departure manuscript.
Manuscript text[]
Zane could feel the poems, taking form, shaping things. As he experimented, he imagined he could almost feel the power surging through the keys of the typewriter.
It exhilarated him, but there was fear, too. If not for his young assistant, Emil, he would have given it up.
But Emil convinced him otherwise. He, too, had a way with words.
