One of the most challenging aspects of writing is the “in-between”. I may have touched on this in another edition, but fuck it, we’re touching on it again, as there is much in-between in the attractions being featured. The “in-between” is what I call the space between the action, or the deeply emotional shit, the things we as writers are often excited to write. All the planning, plotting, outlining, etc, is designed to give these moments life. But these moments cannot stand alone and have as much impact; nay, they require set up. They require the “in-between”.

This is where we are with Bus Driver: the in-between. They had to make a stop, they learned some things, and now they have to eat. It’s not the most exciting, but it remains important. We’re also here with A Vampire’s Vengeance: Edgar is keen on exploration and discovery, and while this has led to moments of excitement, we are still as much in dark with what’s happened on this planet as he is. And yes, here too do we sit with House, though I daresay Solomon’s journey is just tad bit more interesting, as his environment shifts and changes all around him.

All this to say: please have patience. Creating these attractions is no easy matter, and the slow parts are vital to the fun and interesting parts, so remain with me through the in-between. I promise it gets better.

Now, without further ado, let’s get into it →

Again, I apologize for not having anything more interesting to share here. This too falls in line with the “in-between” mentioned above. There’s a whole lot of boring stuff being built under the hood, but in the long run, this work will lead to far more interest being shared here. For now, please enjoy our usual variety of attractions.

Isabelle and Edgar explore a little further in the underground cavern. What do they find?

Solomon, oh Solomon, what the fuck is going on, Solomon? Solomon wanders the halls. Where do they take him?

Curiosity gets a bad rap because of stories like these. “Man dies because he didn’t know when enough was enough” is what the anecdotes should describe, but they’re never so direct, are they? Find out how Mr. Jerym Waring failed to curb his curiosity and what came as a result:

Book cover for The Artist's Spell. The title is stacked, the word 'The' aligned left at the top, the world 'Artist\'s' directly below it, aligned center, and the word 'Spell' directly below 'Artist\'s' aligned right. The Mad Alex emblem is placed next to the word 'The' just above 'Artist\'s.' The author's name, 'Mad Alex' is centered at the bottom of the design. The words and emblem are superimposed on the backdrop of a canvas with smatterings of paint.

Welcome to another installment of Bus Driver! When we last spent time with the bus driver, he was just getting up after a night of drinking and horror stories. Stories which, for the most part, were true—at least with regard to the bus driver and his specific situation. But I digress. He awoke with quite the hangover! Thankfully, one of the residents came to his rescue with some coffee and some painkillers. You can catch up with Part XXXVI here. Now, what happens next? It must be getting close to drive time. Let’s find out →

Background is burst of alternating reddish-orange and tan ray coming out from the center of the image. Over this is the Mad Alex emblem, over which is placed the silhouette of a charter bus in a burnt orange. The text "Bus Driver" is boldly displayed to the right.
