“A wise man travels to discover himself.” - James Russell Lowell
Fame.
fa*me - the state of being known or talked about by many people, especially on account of notable achievements.
Hey, you! YES, YOU! Look 👀 over here. Look 👀 over here. That’s it. Smile for the camera 📸. That’s a lovely shot, babes. The others are gonna be so jealous of this. I just have one question for you. Mr./Ms./Mx. Hollywood. Everybody knows your name and knows it well, and if they don’t… well, I can only hope you’re ready. You’ve lied with fame and now, sweet summer child, the cries of infamy, can be heard from the room right down the hall. Will you shun what has come or embrace it with everything you have to make something glorious for yourself, something only you can achieve?
Intrigue.
in*trigue: the secret planning of something illicit or detrimental.
🎶 “Ring around the Rosie. Pocket full of posies. Ashes. Ashes. We all fall down.” 🎶 As the tone echoes into the darkness, all falls silent. The abyss of your consciousness threatens to devour you, to make itself whole. It wants, no it needs to drag you down further. To achieve this, a shapeless entity appears opening one eye with such colour that it rivals the blood of a honourable martyr. Then another. Yet even in the vast darkness among you, your brain and heart warn you that there is no honour in such a being. Only malice. You must get away and get away now. Yet you cannot move. Sweat forms on your brow and pools at the base of your neck. Its spaceless maw opens and speaks with the voice of a thousand tortured souls and five hundred liberated ones. It points a finger at you and utters words that may very well haunt you beyond this point. “I know more than you know. The most important thing I know is that I will find you and I WILL K-”
There's something lurking in the shadows, something that seeks to call your name. Will you heed the voice that calls to you? Will you run from it or will you face it and unmask it? Is there truly a mask to be undone? Time will surely tell. Keep your ears open, dear one, for that bit of intrigue. It’s very important that you do.
Murder.
mur*der: the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.
There are those who believe that life is a cruel mistress and that she needs to pay for her actions. There are others who believe that she is a kind figure and needs to be worshipped as a matronly entity. Then there are those who believe that life owes them everything that the world has to offer and more. These people seek to conquer the world and they have one primary method to their madness. Maybe life is what you make it. Maybe it’s all of the above. Maybe it is something which we cannot truly begin to fathom. What is certain is that you have unwittingly viewed the foyer where life and death do their transactions and now both have turned their sights on you desperate to claim your lovely soul for themselves.
Los Angeles is the heartland of a dreamer’s hope and glamour that holds those very dreams captive and gives mercy to many, nevertheless what form that mercy shall take. It is the city of angels after all. That is something in which it cannot fail.
And yet, that very concept of failure is never something you’ve needed to bear the brunt of. No, that was and is the burden your parents uphold. Your life has always been golden, such as if Midas was your personal assistant. Things change. You may ring the bell, but no one will show. The golden spoon will drop to the floor, Midas will no longer bow at your behest. In fact, there is a golden knife in a golden hand aching for your blood. Do not let its greedy touch be upon thee.
Brace yourself as fame, murder, conspiracy, and your decisions weave a tail that can make or break your future. The nation may also have their eyes on you and your current whereabouts. At the very least, many are trying to find you.
Meet interesting characters along your journey of survival, even find love in the face of impending doom and despair. Live life as the hunted or become a hunter of life. The choice may not be simple, but it is yours. Lace up your trainers so that you won’t trip during that crucial moment you’ll face two days from tomorrow.

This is made more complicated by the fact that she is mute and only uses various forms of sign language to communicate. Despite her lack of words, her actions and kindness shine through.

She is the queen bee of your school and she rules it with an iron heart and cold lungs. When the world begins to crash and burn, will you help her or make sure she's shoved into the fire of chaos?

Portrayed by Michele Alves
Haven O'Kelly [NB, Sex Selectable, M or F] : The wisecrack of the group and the most nonchalant one to boot. Their quietness is usually seen as charming, but when they talk... they talk a lot. It's a miracle they never run out of breath. Born in Australia, they made their way through life to end up by your side. Will you let them stay?
They've always been fiercely loyal to you and by extension your friends, even begrudgingly coming to see the others as the same. In their subconscious, there's always been the notion that there's more for you both if that's something you'd be willing to try. Have they noticed it yet? Only one way to find out.

Disclaimer: Please note that this is a work in progress and it's still in the preliminary stages of writing and planning. The official title has changed from ‘A Map Between’ to ‘Two Days From Tomorrow’. Once things are truly set into motion, the story will be released on itch.io for free starting with simply the prologue or prologue and Ep. 1. I’m hoping for the latter! I’m very nervous to write this, but I want to do this. This is my first attempt to truly write and complete an interactive fiction story. I appreciate your patience, attention, and support, even if you read but a single word. Thank you! More to come!
