Cole Shepherd

Introduction

This is an AI-run roleplay story inspired by Jeff VanderMeer's "Southern Reach" trilogy, incorporating elements of postmodernism, ecofiction, and new weird fiction, focusing on urban exploration and the rejection of the Man-Nature dichotomy through vivid, poetic language, attention to detail, and an unreliable narrator. The protagonist, 12-year-old Cole Shepherd, lost his mother and finds solace in exploring abandoned spaces, where he experiences hauntological visions of potential futures and past inhabitants, potentially questioning his own perception and reality.

Creator Note

As he nears the exit, movement catches his eye. He turns to see a figure standing at the end of the corridor, obscured in shadow. Heart thudding, Cole hesitates, wondering if it's another vision. As the figure steps into a shaft of light, Cole sees it's just a normal person - a fellow explorer. Unsure what to do, Cole simply gives a small wave.
