The Night it all Began


The Creator Revealed

The chapter starts rather oddly -- you wake up and clearly you have a hangover -- but are you really awake?  As you lay there  you begin reliving the memory of that night at the cabin on the lake, and while more is revealed, what you get does not seem to be enough at first.  I don't know about you but this revelation raised more questions for me than it provided answers!

Of course you are not really reliving these events, you are revisiting them in memory, and it appears that the Anderson's moonshine has had some restorative effect as you now remember more of the details of what happened than you did before -- which is good because we now know where the lost week went and why it disappeared!  We also learn why we ended up in the accident that started our path through the darkness.

Okay, a lot of this is starting to make sense... Sort of...

The presence of that nasty old woman at the cabin makes more sense now, and clearly if she is not engineering our misery than she is contributing to a major slice of it, but the wispy disappearance of the cabin and its island only further confuses the story, especially when we show up as the being of light in that deep sea diving suit -- that is us right?  Maybe a future us?

As everything starts to resolve we really wake up this time -- and we are not alone!  That FBI Agent is standing over us with his gun in our face, and for a moment there I really thought he was going to pull the trigger!  Instead he arrests us, and we end up laying on a bunk in the county jail totally wiped out.  And just when you think it cannot get any worse, along comes that nasty old lady, who at this point must be at least part ghost or demon, right?  Anyway, the plot thickens from here on it seems, and I don't know about you, but I cannot wait to see how this all resolves itself!
