ExOmelas

(working title) A young girl receives a royal letter for her family, but is sick to her stomach with the thought of telling them.

Some difficult fantasy dynamics lead to anger and confusion. Also Dad's a hero.

Gordon Graham finally arrives home, but the day doesn't go as Daena was expecting.

Daena gets really really excited about doing the laundry... though to be fair it's her father's armour.

We meet the title character, and he's not doing so good.
