Everyone has a story... except for those of us who don't. A new arrival to a strange land with no memory, and no past to even remember, changes what everyone knew of the world beyond their pages, and might expose a hidden threat that had been working in secret for years...

Equal parts sequel and spiritual successor to afterward.

This is a companion piece to "afterward" and contains heavy spoilers for the story as well as a breakdown as to how the world works and some author's notes about the story as a whole. If you don't want afterward spoiled, I suggest reading it first. Otherwise, let's talk about it!

Taking place immediately following the first New Infinity, Ashley Smith is left with more questions than answers about the town of New Infinity and its mysterious owner, Felix. When seedy new characters, old blood, and abandoned memories rise to the surface, though, Ash finds herself embroiled in a battle that decides not just the fates of her friends and not just the fate of the town, but the fate of the world.

afterwardis a story dashed with charm and drowned in surrealist stream-of-conscious meta-humor about an amnesiac who wakes in the strange land of the afterward. Why are they there? Who were they? What is the afterward, what threat is fast approaching, and why don't they capitalize the name?

In 2017, I finished New Infinity, my first >50,000 word writing project for Penana. Here I will be going over some of my thoughts on the project, its world, and its characters. This should go without warnings, but spoilers for New Infinity, which you can read here.

A family from small-town America moves into the town of New Infinity, which seems to have come from storybooks and postcards. Ashley Smith is not happy about the move, but strange people and strange goings-on will ensure this is an adventure she will never forget. My labor of love over the last four years lands on Penana!

I don't know who will get this, if anyone at all. I am Sam, an exile, a street rat, a... scavenger.

Local Irish-American yells into void about his own works, quality of gaming and TV, just whatever else is on his mind.

A brief word of thanks for looking at my stuff here, and also links to where you can find me and my other works!
