Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Summary:

Working-girl Lenore wants to be a writer. The only gig she gets is for the internal company newsletter. Pretty bleak.
Even worse when the whole staff is composed of witches. Even worser when this is a horror story, so despite all the steamy sex scenes, expect a real descent to hell.

Notes:

Once my first outline done, I realized I had "borrowed" from Borges' Book of Sand and John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness. I'm putting these two titles here so you can check them out when you find the time.

Chapter 1

Chapter Text

And there is something else I thought about. All this room they gave us. All this time I spent taking it when I could have been filling it. If this space inside is infinite, there is enough for us and all I could have made up about it. Maybe that’s why they’ve lost from the beginning. It contained what I forgot to write. What I didn’t. In between the billion typewriting monkeys, a billion things could get nipped. A few words about how I, the naked ape, could write a few words. About you. Of you. Your name. Your thoughts. Everything you ever said. Everything you didn’t, couldn’t. Everything I remember. Everything I forgot. A word for the color of your eyes. A word to remind me you forgive me.
