Transylvania Towers II
Transylvania Towers is an in-progress novella. Inspired by Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the story follows the journal entries of a narrator who, after being invited to stay at Transylvania Towers with his wife, has witnessed too much and now fears he is losing his mind. This is the second of six planned parts, the following of which will be published monthly. If you’re new to the series, you can read the first part here.

The door seems to be jammed. Or locked. I have tried the handle several times throughout the day. I will have to ask Christa about this at the banquet.
Pacing has lost its appeal.
The pages of the novel that Leah packed for me—a crime thriller of rather generic origin—are insipid. Time trickles more slowly with words. When is this banquet? I cannot tell; the sun seems to be permanently dim on the horizon.

[Editor's note: Three pages in the script are missing. We attempted to recover them from the site, but they have apparently been held as evidence.]

My banquet is over.
The writing table, based on my spatial judgment, has been moved just enough out of the camera’s sight-lines so that it will look like I am sleeping on the small table if the script is held close to my body as I write. I have scattered broken glass in front of the door. If anyone attempts to enters the room, even if rapt in sleep, I will know instantly. This is not paranoia—no, not by far.
But the banquet.
