distorted reality
What should I do? I previously discovered a secret passageway, and the door to it has since vanished. I have already tried looking for the catch while pretending to drink from my water glass with one hand hidden behind my back. Now all of the painted wall is just a single solid panel.

Encrypted
Rebooting… The computer screen lit up. "Welcome", The computer program greeted. A crumb of nostalgia slipped into my heart. I hadn't opened this thing in years. My fingers were quick to the Forge Application. “Peter! I don’t think this is a good idea”, Joel repeated. He paced the room frantically. Spewing nonsense gardened in the stress of the moment. “You have Sophie, and Gabe right? I had him mentally blocked out. I was more focused on exporting the information.
