All good things must come to an end, and we have come to ours. Write to the end of your scene (or the end of your song, if that’s going to take too long). Anyone who chose to communicate with the Library (Kathryn, Matt, Ice, Nat) must make one final choice: Do you use the knowledge gained from the Library to try and escape, or do you instead choose to… *Stay*.
Write to the end of your scene, add your words to your spreadsheet, then work out your ending…

| wrote less than 500 words per challenge on average | you found the doors, got them open, and got the hell out of that cursed building. Congratulations, you get to write a few more words on the train home. | wrote over 500 words per challenge on average, and did *not* communicate with the Library | You made it back to your writing area, and were even able to get the lights back on! But the library (small ‘l’) is so cool, and it’s probaby safe now that it’s daylight! You stick around to continue the writing retreat, but you’re going to be back in your own room before midnight this time for sure. Wait, didn’t there used to be more people in this group? You can’t remember anyone in specific, but you’re *sure* you’re missing *at least one* person… The thought fades from your mind as you settle in for some *actual* writing before you go and have a nap. This place is *great*. | wrote over 500 words per challenge on average and *did* choose to communicate with the Library | Congratulations, you Passed the Test. You have been filled with all of human knowledge, and more than a little bit of *in*human knowledge. You are One with the Library, and the Library is One with the Universe. There are no more words to *write*, for you *are* the Words. There is no up or down or in or out, there is no us or them or you. There is only… ***The Library***. |
