They want to keep you bound in the dark, but you won't let them. You will get out, fight and flee, fail and die, then try again and again...
Grudges must always be the first to die when a storm arrives.
After years away you return home to your dying father, but will you be able to get your brother to forgive you for leaving? And will you step up to the challenge to inherit your father's most prized possession?
Written as part of the 2023 Spring/Summer Contest: Gone Fishin' it is a game with a much bigger focus on story than gameplay, but still there is a decent amount of endings and variation for something this short.

I mean it'd be pretty impressive for End to make his account 15 minutes after coming out of the womb. Unless you meant under 20 eons, which I think he should be but at that point time and age become kinda meaningless.

I have the same reaction when my top genres are 4 different kinds or metal/rock and then there's pixie somewhere in there.

I ended up with 3700 minutes of Disturbed this year which was somehow 10% of my Spotify total.

I can't think of anything so if there's time after doing everyone else's I'll take whatever.

My personal failure wasn't so much time management as it was stubbornly trying to make an idea work until there was not enough time to pivot into something else.

Yeah I'm going to accept my shame instead of submitting something that'll get unpublished as soon as the contest is over since that would make me feel worse than admitting signing up was a mistake on my part.
Good luck everyone. Hopefully I won't see most of you down in the Pit.

Well here we are the penultimate month in this year long challenge of mine, and following a recommendation I decided to give another chance to Bill, who did indeed redeem himself in my eyes with Blow Your House Down. Would I give it a full 7 or even 8 if I only read on path instead of all of them? Not likely, but I still think it was one of the better stories, even though I can't help but find roughly 80% of its total word count redundant in regard to personal enjoyment.

Thanks, I'm glad I managed to properly convey the intended messages and that it resonated with at least some people.
Also as a small blink-and-you-miss-it thing: Jack's not actually 19, he just says he is to avoid the risk of being sent back home. It doesn't change much if anything about the core story, but I figured it's better to point it out since it is one of those details put in to serve the theme itself.

Congratulations to RK. I might've been beaten, but I do feel at least a bit better after predicting the outcome. I'm still fairly satisfied with what I turned in compared to last time, but anything that's not a first draft put together last minute would accomplish that.
And good job to Avo for exceeding expectations. If you keep practicing and taking feedback into account it only gets better from here believe me.
