Roses Manor, Weston Chapter 14

Graham and Gabriella pulled up outside of St. Christopher’s Parish, an imposing Catholic church on the west side of Leominster. It was all whitewashed wood and towered over the busy road, with a stretch of old trees beside it, all of them nearly as tall as the steeple. A worn sign out front announced the […]

Everyone was at work the next morning. Bradley was back, sitting on the couch under the window instead of at his usual computer station. He sat across a couple of cushions with a pair of crutches leaning against the armrest. There was a heavy knee brace on his injured leg, strapped over what looked like […]

“Honestly, whatever information Jessamyn’s guy has will help,” Madelyn said as they walked back into the living room a few minutes later. “What you said about this spreading through the whole internet is haunting me.” She laughed and shook her head, looking out the window at the snow. “Where are you in the game?” “The […]

Jessamyn’s source hadn’t gotten back to Madelyn by the next morning. Madelyn didn’t seem too concerned about it, even as she resurfaced from her class midway through the shift to check in on Gabriella. Gabriella had just begun her search again, fruitlessly scrolling through social media for a few minutes, then going back into the […]

That night, Gabriella had hoped she’d fall asleep quickly. But she ended up laying awake for a long time, staring up at the worn ceiling tiles above her bed. How the hell was she supposed to find another code for this new level? And would there be another after that? And another? And how did […]

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,” […]

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 […]
