  • Story

    There has always been the Fears. Lurking in the distance and surrounding our atmosphere. To where one ends and another begins, these are true questions to which there is no answer. What we know, is that they F E E D. What we know, is that they D R I N K. First theorized by a collection of those under their sway, distinct paranormal activities formed a pattern- and they split off in their various factions to follow the will of those Entities, as they now call them, but not without making a list.
