Part 3: Memory's crooked lane

A Whateley Academy Tale

by null0trooper

Some people come to Academy because they need to, some come because they are needed. How far a person will go for a second chance can be as revealing as a light in the darkness. A candle ground underfoot along the way tells a darker, but no less important, tale. Which will you choose to remember when your own book is signed and closed?

"I've been a fool, I've been cruel to myself
I've been hanging onto nothing
When nothing could be worse than hanging on"

Part 1: New to the neighborhood

A Whateley Academy Tale

by null0trooper

Benjamin needs a new coat, a roommate, a clue or two, and maybe someone should inventory the rocks in his head. It's all good for something at Whateley Academy.
