    This is Episode 1 of a brand-new series, and honestly, whether it continues depends on you.
    I'd love to know three things:
    Should THE GLOOM continue? Yes or no — be honest.
    Which side pulled you in more — the Crown above the clouds, or the Gloom below?
    What do you think Rooke meant by "Stop counting"?
    Every comment gets read. If enough of you want Episode 2, Iris and Ashcombe go deeper.

    I look forward with hope for episode 2. Why we have to constantly divide ourselves is a question that haunts me. It's as if we are wired to create an "other" to hate and abuse. I will root for those below and feel sorry for those above.

    Well just came across this and so far it's better than most of the tripe being pumped out by the mainstream companies it deserves to be continued consider me subscribed
