I'm proud to have given a platform to so many talented people working in the fringes of literature. And I'm grateful for the friendships the press has forged.
Alas, all things must end. Two years ago, Penteract Press announced its closure, with an end date of February 28th 2027.

Aside from a couple of frustrations (poor sales, obviously.... and having to deal with a couple of unsavoury characters — but hey, that's life), working on this project has been a joy.

This is Kealen from the past, whose universe became independent after Kealen from the future destroyed his own.
In that other universe, Kealen never touched the Penteract, and the Century of Sorrow never began.
No dreams, no destiny, no suffering. So he has every chance of a happy life.

What is next?!? A Penrose Triangle? an Impossible Cube? a Pentagonal antiprism? Maybe even a tesseract? or a penteract?

Yeah, same, it's so completely and utterly out of place that it becomes weirdly funny to me again, even charming in a way. Like, Merom shouting these lines at the penteract of all things was truly beyond ridiculous, but it also made that moment even more memorable. Never change, nwn, never change xD

It’s a very short arc, full of fear, hatred and bugs.
If you don’t understand what’s happening on screen, that’s fine. I don’t understand it either.
There’s just one tiny arc left to finish off the second chapter.
I’ll be able to write it overnight.
