<p> Additional tags: OP protagonist, time loop, character-focused </p> <p> Ian Dunai has been trapped in a nightmarish loop filled with contagion, captives, and decemancy for the past three or four years. In that time, he's become a master of decemancy with the ability to control dead matter, whether dried leaves, yellowed skeletons, or hulking corpses. </p> <p> Little does he know, he's just been stuck on layer one. </p> <p> Excerpt: </p> <p> And there, at the very back of the mostly-empty room, body mostly-concealed by an old divan, is a figure shrouded in sunlight. His head is tilted to the side so that I can see one eye and the profile of his nose and jaw. Cornsilk hair shines white, his sun-kissed eyelashes like the points of stars. His hair is long, obscuring his forehead and ears, stretching down to his shoulder blades. </p> <p> "So you're the one," he says, turning so that I can see both blue eyes. </p> <p> </p> <p> Release schedule: normally T-Th-S; but through 4/20, 1 chap/day kickoff special </p> <p> Note: The Menocht Loop's first draft is complete at over 80k words. As an exercise in forcing myself to revise this draft in a timely manner, I will be posting a new chapter here every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. However, for the first week or so, I will be posting a chapter each day. The sequel is in progress and currently sits at about 60k words. There is not yet romance in the 140k words I've written of this fiction between both books, but it is planned. </p> <p> Magescape, one of the reviewers, has been a beta reader for me, which is why he's read more than is currently published, fyi. </p> <p> Constructive criticism welcome. Alternative synopses also welcome. If you're interested in helping me proofread/edit, reach out and we can talk. </p>
