The Rain That Brought Johnny
Cassie had always believed that her life would remain simple and predictable. She lived in the quiet little town of Greendale where nothing unusual ever happened. Every morning she walked to school, every afternoon she worked at the small bookstore on Maple Street, and every evening she sat beside the fireplace reading novels.

Pripyat, Ukraine: The Abandoned Ghost City of Chernobyl
The Rise and Sudden Silence of Pripyat Pripyat, Ukraine, was established on February 4, 1970, as a model city in the Soviet Union, intended to be the home of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant staff. It emerged to become a flourishing city inhabited by close to 50,000 people, comprising engineers, scientists, families, and kids, with shops fully stocked, kindergartens, schools, hospitals, a cultural palace with cinemas and gyms, sports halls, and an Olympic-sized swimming pool, among other amenities. Life was normal, with kids playing, people working, and the city alive with normal ambitions and aspirations powered by the promise of nuclear energy.

Day 19: Loose Allegiances. Content Warning.
Day 19: Loose Allegiances This isn’t hard to deduce if you’re here. During said gap, I was told that Wolfman Patrick wanted everyone to catch up to the most notable now of our research. The two shifts typically saved for this exercise were spent getting shouted at by Coldman Jason in his office for insinuating that the Brochure has nothing new to contribute, starting the tenacious argument that will go on for days. He asked me to be open-minded; I scoffed at the disrespect and refused to apologize for throwing the book. Details were to be strictly ordered in chronological order, as remembered; my 'tampering' will not be tolerated, apparently. However, once the storm started, it became clear who paid attention to Harvest-woman April’s briefing. Fucking taking fault for anything that went wrong would be a gross additional neglect of attention to facts that are so ghastly important. Anyway, Day 10: The ‘Reign’ Begins.

The Invitation
It was just a card , standard postcard size , but very high quality. The card was an invite , there was an address in a high class expensive part of the city, and an offer of substantial financial remuneration for an hour of his time. A two way conversation would be expected and would be held in the library.
