READER RESPONSE

Early words from Royal Road.

"I liked this opening. It feels very natural and lived-in before anything strange has even happened, which gives the story a lot of room to make the weird stuff hit harder later."

"Emily, Mia, Brian and the narrator already feel like people instead of names being introduced for later use... I'd keep reading."
