   Summary

   After completely and utterly failing the ritual, Sam wakes up in bed exactly one week before the Visitor's arrival.

   With a second chance he never could've expected, he realizes they need to act quickly to protect both the people in their apartment building and outside it.

   He can't mess up. Not again. Not with every person in the world counting on him.

   Summary

   Short (?) story about some unfortunate guy turning into everyone's favorite telescope over the course of two months

   Warnings for body horror (shit gets real by chapter 3) and paranoid tendencies, kind of the stuff to be expected in a story about a guy turning into telescopes i guess

   there's a few more specific things that will be mentioned on the notes at the start of every chapter (although the first 2 are relatively mild)

   Summary

   One mistake. One. Single. Mistake. That's all it took to completely screw up the ritual, Sam is now wracked with both guilt over his mistakes and the terror of having his body altered to something far more inhuman. The people Sam has showed kindness to now return the favor to help Sam with both his emotional state and getting more comfortable with his new body. Hellen meanwhile must now function as the new temporary leader of apartment 33 until Sam has emotionally stabilized.

   Summary

   It feels like Sam's life has been nothing but one downward spiral. Nothings ever gone in his favor, so of course the day the apocalypse begins is the same day he's being evicted from his apartment.

   Summary

   how bad could it be? It’s not like whatever was out there could hurt him… right?
   Sam slowly gripped the edges of his curtains.
   Just a small peek… just to see what’s out there.

    

   Aka: Sam looks outside! Y’know, like an idiot.
