Everybody knows that the captain lied"

As an added bonus... for Crystal Con, our annual Q&A with the Authors, which is taking place over this weekend, August 23rd through the 25th, 2024 at the Whateley Academy Discord Server ( https://discord.gg/mVdwWDy ). Please stop by and chat with the Authors in the Auditorium.

No Heroes
Part 3: Memory's crooked lane

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"
— Ruth Moody, "Heaven When We're Home"

"Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich"
— Leonard Cohen, "Everybody Knows"

E. E. Nalley returns to our Whateley setting for the first time in 5 years. He's been having some issues (more on that here) and we'd really appreciate it if people would let him know they enjoy his story.
