Roses Manor, Weston Chapter 9

Since the original plan had been for her to leave work at two, Gabriella had been looking forward to having time to do anything other than sleep. Or at least having long amounts of time to sleep in. She’d left at six, which wasn’t unreasonable. But after working nearly the entire previous twenty-four hours, she […]

There were no new hints on social media, just those same smug little updates that told the world how incredibly clever the game and all its players were. Gabriella had been hoping maybe today would be the day. That their luck had been so shitty lately that she’d find the key to what made this […]

“Has Bradley shown up yet?” James asked a couple hours later as he came upstairs from the gym to where Gabriella, Amelia, and Madelyn were working in the living room. “No,” Gabriella said. “Why? What time was he on?” “Eight.” It was a little before nine now. “I’ll call him,” James said. “I’ll do it,” […]

72 St. Margaret’s Way Letter

(Warning: This post contains spoilers for 72 St. Margaret’s Way (NCPU #10) published on July 10, 2025!) I planned the events in 72 St. Margaret’s Way approximately three years ago.

The next day was much the same. Gabriella started by finishing the stack of forms the Foundation wanted from them and handing them directly to Bradley, nearly seventy percent sure she had written nothing embarrassing on them. From there, she’d worked the Sixteen Roses case, as well as a couple of in and out cleansings […]

By the time she got back to work after lunch, Gabriella was actually slightly dreading being back on the Sixteen Roses grind. That excitement from this morning was completely gone as she logged back in. What was so appealing to so many people about this game? All she could think as she played it was […]

When Gabriella got to work the next morning, apparently things were still not rosy with James and Bradley. She came inside to see James’s office door open and, as she got closer, she could hear him in there. “I don’t know, maybe don’t show up five minutes late if you’re going to be such a […]

The game was, in fact, as simple as they had expected from the case file. It required a login, but didn’t ask for any personal details. Just an email and password. Gabriella quickly made a new email account just for the game, which was accepted with no issues. After a few minutes to create the […]

The meeting started a little while later and the tension between James and Bradley was obvious from the first second. Bradley was still at the same computer he’d been using earlier, but his glasses were gone. And instead of wrapping up the usual slideshow and swearing at anyone who approached him, he had his hands […]

Roses Manor, Weston Chapter 1

The sky was threatening snow. Or sleet. Or hail. Or whatever other driving nightmares it had been dumping periodically over the last two weeks of November. Gabriella had grown up in New England, she wasn’t afraid of driving in the snow. But that didn’t mean she wasn’t watching the sky apprehensively as the dark, heavy […]
