Going Up

by Anton Matsigura

So, you’re stuck in an elevator. It sucks. It Reeeealy sucks. You are stuck with people you don’t know and don’t like. The walls are closing in. You can’t breathe. So here you are, you and four complete strangers who soon realize they’re not going up, they’re not going anywhere… and they should’ve taken the stairs.

The Waiting Room

by Danielle Simon

Your life has come to an end. You and 4 other strangers are stuck in a room. You have no idea what’s happening or where you’re gonna go. All you have to guide you is a mysterious voice and your morals. And one thing is for sure, wherever you go, you’ll be stuck there forever.

Welcome to The Waiting Room.

Terror: A Love Story

by Link Bechtold

Everyone knows about the French Revolution. The treason, the executions and of course the cake! In the centre of it all was the radical leftist, Maximilien Robespierre. From the streets to the guillotine, Robespierre was raised for the revolution. He was known for his passion for revolt and beheading those who weren’t as devoted to the cause as he. But his passion wasn’t limited to just that. This is the tale of a radical revolutionary and his lover, l’ami du peuple, Jean-Paul Marat.
