Hello World

Hello World is the phrase that is generally used to test a new program you're writing. If you're a student in a new Computer Science class, you will undoubtedly get the assignment of doing something that will end with your computer telling you 'Hello World'. Assuming you eventually manage to code it correctly.
This isn't going to be a Computer Science blog, but this was the first 'First Blog Post' title that I could come up with that I think really fits me. Also it was the first one I could think of on the spot.
Getting to the point.
I'm going to be using this blog to post various stories, poems, and other creative writing pieces that I write. Feel free to email or comment with feedback, I'm always looking to improve!
So, I hope you enjoy the writing you find here, and leave with something that you didn't have before.

The rest of their outfit was a suit of the same blue shade. A single hand was visible, a white-knuckled grip on the chair they stood behind. Although the features were obscured (or perhaps not painted at all), the figure still seemed to be glaring at everyone who entered the shop. “Who’s the woman in the picture?” the boy asked. The woman in the picture was a man. The man in the picture was the king’s advisor, known by the people as ‘The Bastard Queen’, not for being particularly unliked, of illegitimate birth, or any particular femininity, but because of the amount of power over the king he was rumored to have. Other portraits, scattered around the city, showed his face, but Adrian would proudly boast that hers was the only one that showed their mask. The portrait's presence was usually a point of pride for Adrian, as it was...

amnesia (opening)

you awaken in a room, a bare wooden table stands in the middle of the room, and you each can see three more figures collapsed around you. the walls of the room are draped in tasteless red tapestry, and the table is heaped in backpacks. at the far end of the room you can see a fireplace, unlit, and cleared of soot. curtains cover what you presume to be windows to your right. there is a door to your left, with what appears to be a note tacked to none of you have any idea who you, or any of the other people in the room with you are. The note reads as follows, and is written in a sloping, (trying to be fancy, putting on airs of more) cursive: To A. Weaver, C. Morel, Twilight Stormshadow, and Niel West Heckens, We understand that you might find this situation to be frightening or befuddling. Trust us when we say that this lie to yourselves, to ourselves, is both hopefully temporary, and ultimately for the best. The hope, is that in losing some part of ourselves, you can be free from the fo...
