"I don't think anything is going to hold long against the constant strain of the ocean... we may have to think of another route if the worst happens." Teddy felt sweat form around his brow when he considered any other option. Jumping into the ocean was essentially risking your life for a small...
Despite his best efforts, it appears Teddy would have to time this on his own. Luckily Elena didn't freeze and started her way up the stairs. The moment the leader stepped onto the staircase he let go of the immense weight. The deafening crunch was harrowing. Teddy dared not look to see the...
The men approached quickly, as if not wanting to lose sight of her. The leader looked like a young, freshly graduated athletic man. His smirk showed no signs of wavering amidst the chaos that surrounded them. The two men with him looked older. They were clearly sore from whatever they did to...
As Elena jumped on, Teddy could feel her dead weight pretty much immediately. He could tell she was absolutely taking advantage of his offer to help. He was always someone that tried to do the right thing. It got him into a lot of unfortunate situations late in college, which may have been why...
The water was stagnant in this room. It seeped into every surface like a plague and filled the room with a stench Teddy wouldn't soon be able to repress. The box was almost full when her heard Meredith. If Elena was crying, surely it was because she had seen the horror of this place. He quickly...
Teddy was still adjusting to the horror he just took in. His mind went back to all the times he spent trying to impress his boss, trying to ensure he had the means to improve in the company. To not know he was suffering with a fear of drowning was shocking. Worse yet, his fear was realized...
Teddy nodded to himself, carefully trying to ensure that he'd be able to remember Elena's name. The water was decently cold, but up to this point Teddy wasn't sure he could still feel his legs. It all kind of blended together in the fog of panic that had settled over him since the building...
Teddy took the outstretched hand, slowly coming to his feet. At this point Teddy thought this was nothing but an incredibly vivid dream. He would have to wake up and get to work - he never had dream he could remember... or feel so intensely. The cold sting of the water. The intense shaking of...
Teddy threw open the utility closet and jumped in. A light flickered in his face, but he was more concerned about getting away from the breaking windows and chaos. The light finally settled on his face, which looked more animated with fear than it typically does during his working hours...

Theodore "Teddy" Rhom
The days seemed to run together for Theodore Rhom. By the time he realized he was stuck in a routine he hated, it was almost too late to leave. His job was comfortable in the current economy...
This is the best time of year. The crisp, cutting scent of the freshly fallen leaves pairs perfectly with the orange and brown hues of pumpkins and bare trees. It’s not so cold that we can’t still enjoy the outdoors but not so warm as to force us inside. It feels like even with my closest...
Gareth
“What makes you think that we, a quiet new kid and an enemy of the state of Boulder Creek High School, could ever hope to find out who killed the cheerleader?” Valerie replied. Gareth blinked a bit, a bit off put by getting called out as a faux detective. He had heard it a few times due...
Gareth
“So, to them, to this town, the time isn’t awful at all.”
Anger. That's what Gareth could feel coming from Valerie right now. Yet he recognized that it wasn't the type of anger he was initially expecting. As far as Gareth had experienced, this kind of anger wasn't easy to fake. She was...
Gareth
With the initial response, Gareth could tell he was clearly interrupting her typical train of thought. He quickly wondered if she recognized him from the vigil, but didn't linger too long on that thought.
"No." She replied. He couldn't get a good read on Valerie's face. She's someone...
Gareth Rosaro
Gareth Rosaro was weary of his place in life. He had everything he thought he wanted back in his old town just outside of Chicago. His friends were caring, his extended family was near, and he knew what to expect out of every turn. Here in Boulder Creek, everything felt like a...
