Author's Note: This is an alternative version of Spider-Man set in its own continuity which came about from a discussion with a friend, the prompt being 'if you were in charge of a Spider-Man film reboot what would you do?'. My ADHD brain hyper-fixated on it and came up with this, the first story I've been motivated to write in about seven years since life got a bit too busy to write. Any reviews, good or bad, are appreciated.
Prologue: Voice Recordings on an Eve
I don't really know what to say. I've not used your tape recorder for a few months. Should have planned this out a bit more if I'm honest. Just feels right to check in on you now I suppose. It's been a while Gwen. Two years tomorrow. Two years since he-.
I can't say it.
I'm getting better. At least people say I am. I'm not drinking as much. More focussed on college now. Making some money too. Taking pictures of our mutual friend and selling them to the Bugle.
Is that weird? I feel like it is?
The rest of the gang are alright. Ned and Betty have been dating for a while. They're cute, but sometimes I can't be around them. Too many reminders I guess.
I miss you Gwen.
