Summary
There was nothing there.
There was Nothing,Nothing,NothingNothing,NothingnOthInG
Rudo’s ears wrung endlessly, his hands ached and the world didn’t exist. Why waste time with questions when death was so near.
The cycle was to end early?
The man stopped in front of Rudo, unaffected by the crumbling void all around them.
He acted like there were things that mattered.
In an endless darkness the only thing to exist was he and this man. Who even was he?
DEATH?
Or the only chance at life?
Or
A Modern au!!! Where Rudo is adopted by Regto after being abandoned. The cleaners work to restore the ground after a dye factory explosion ruined their town ;-; a nice analysis of Rudo's trauma.Special thanks: thank you Josephine L and DireRaven for beta reading and fueling over 80% of my ideas for this fic o7 and GumbaBunny for helping me with the code for this and Miss Jasmin for listening to all my yap.

Summary
Playable game with RNG (Random Number Generator) driven random events!
If you don't remember this game, think back to things like Zork (or, as a poor simile, something remotely like Sir-Tech's Wizardry series in atmosphere [this version of Wumpus being far less graphics-intensive]).
Armed with vorpal arrows and bearing lid-bags of wumpusnip and wumpuspurge of dubious effectiveness in hope of alternately luring and warding away the evil monster, will you take up the gantlet?
Who says that CSS is 𝖍ard?
(NB for TTS screen readers: that last word was “hard”, not “ard”, but I cheated with an “h” from an unusual Unicode range instead of CSS, so that it would remain visually odd in the Summary... and found that my testing-purpose [and sometimes laziness] freebie TTS browser extension can't read it... because of course.)NB 1: HTML-structural redundancy bloated the word and chapter counts; ~15K actual words (~4K vis. by RNG) and 20 caves!
NB 2: More PG than G, about as graphic as Oregon Trail, but I'm not sure if that's enough to rate as Teen.

Summary
Riddle me this:
The Riddler has left a set of clues to follow, and Batman is fighting other crime.
There's a hit piece on Superman in today's Daily Planet, by authors unknown. What sort of people could possibly have written it? It's up to you to find and sew together the seaming/seeming clues of this wild goose chase — and to watch out for red herrings!
Of course, if you get tired of syllogistic logic, then you could just... rebus alone! 😉 🤣
