Five years after Jack's escape from captivity, he starts his first day of school. By X.R. Balzan, author of the serial novel 'The Shadow Monster'. Based on Room By Emma Donoghue and all rights goes to her.

Ma's thoughts on Jack's first Christmas night in between Christmas Eve and Day. Oneshot.

Old Nick reaps what he has sown.

Jack is tucked in for the night at him and Ma's apartment, excited for his sixth birthday, and can't decide on a nighttime story until Ma shows him one from her childhood. She becomes bombarded with emotions as she relives the book with her son and it becomes the center focus for him as he returns the phrase; "Love you Forever."

A playful faux news item imagining how "Old Nick's" lawyers might have discredited the accusations of Joy Newsome.

Ma was Joy before Jack. She was alone before Jack. She was sad before Jack.

Jack's rolled up in Rug real tight, and is unmoving when Old Nick takes him out of Room. Ma's part's done, what does she do now?

This is about life in the Room before Jack is 5 and before Emma Donoghue wrote her book. It is a normal day for Jack and his mom. I have to write this for school and I thought I would upload it on here.
