AUTHOR'S NOTE This is a rewritten version of the abysmal Magnum Opus created by Norman Boutin somewhere before 2013. You might be familiar with the original story thanks to videos on Youtube and stories of author’s actions. Ones that put him alongside people like Neil Breen or Digital Homicide. I learnt of this ‘creation’ thanks to Youtube commentary by the author of ‘Down the Rabbit Hole’. And the more I rewatch it, the more I become motivated to rewrite this whole story. If not to fix it – since I never bothered to read the actual novel for various personal reasons – then to just prove I can write it better than the original author. While still acknowledging him as the original creator of ‘Empress Theresa’. And while I had some plans for this revision, as time went by, and I had certain matters to attend to, I came to realize the final version will be nothing like the original concept. Thus I kept trying to get this over it as fast as possible. While making certain it will still

A chill went down the young man’s spine. He could feel it – Even though the night was warm. Sitting on the porch of his large house, the man should have felt sleepy. But he wasn’t – His mind going in every direction, trying to forget about his... work. About what he had done. Inside the house was the evidence – The reason why the man felt uneasy that night. He was trying to justify his deed. But in his heart, he knew nothing could excuse what he had done. Even if there was a good reason for him to do what he had done. One thing was certain – His motivation was his alone. One only he knew and one nobody will ever know. Because... No one was going to believe him. The man looked into the night sky – It appeared so clean. No clouds, no fog, no smokes from passing airplanes, nothing. Only stars shining with all their might, and moon at full. It’s light allowing to see the landscape of the area, where the lonely house and the surrounding garden have been built. For the man and his... Spouse,

Chapter 1 - 0% APPROVAL RATING Those who might have used the Internet to seek out information about the World – with websites such as Wikipedia – would have learnt that Massachusetts, one the first thirteen States of the United States, is considered as the richest and most prosperious of the Founding colonies. Indeed, statistics seem to be always in favor of this one state. But, as is often the case, even in the most prosperious regions there must be some ‘undesirables’ – the Black Sheep, shall we say. And in case of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a lonely settlement near it’s Western border with the State of New York, called ‘As-Whole-Ville’. With the name as such, not many people have heard about that settlement, and those who knew or came from it, went out of their ways to make sure no one related them to that specific location. It didn’t matter who they were – Whether an infuential businessman or just a simple tailor – no one wanted to be known as The Man from As-Whole-Ville.

Chapter 2 - INTELLIGENCE EQUALS LONELINESS Even though ‘As-Whole-Ville’ tended to be highly reclusive and secretive about it’s existence it didn’t mean people didn’t migrate into it. After more than a century since it’s establishment, the town was populated by descendants of the founding immigrants and people who had flocked into it after some time has passed. In the beginning any people could migrate into the town, after the dusk has settled and people from the neigbourhood and outside Massachussets began to open themselves to the settlers. However, once it’s status as a highly exclusive hideout for the most influential and richiest people has been established, only some could settle in. Due to the amount of effort and hard work that was required to even find the town’s position in the State’s registry, a kind of selection put itself in place. As such, the new migrants into the town represented the best of the so-called Civilization. Many of them former guests of ‘As-Whole-Ville’ or

Chapter 3 - A STALKER WITH A CRUSH Throughout the journey to their new home, The Hartleys discussed things they considered important. And challenging – After all, how is anyone supposed to live in a place that nobody can find? Where something as simple as a telephone call had to be secured, due to the Code of Silence? Or heck, probably even buying and purchasing supplies required some sort of secrecy. Steve didn’t listen to their constant arguing. In fact, he didn’t even say a single word during a journey. He was just staring through the window, observing the changing landscape, pondering on topics on his own, in his mind. While watching the landscapes, Steve didn’t seem impressed by what he saw. But as soon as ‘As-Whole-Ville’ began to show up in a horizon and slowly taking shape as the car got closer to it, it caused him to gasp in amazement. Located at the bottom of the small ravine, the Town was established right next to it’s source of water – Which made sense in case their

Chapter 4 - MORAL GUARDIANS Steve was unsure what to think of what he had witnessed that night. He wondered if he should talk to his parents about this, but chose not to. The fact that he watched the girl through his Spy-glass could get him into trouble, and he didn’t want those after just barely moving to the new home. He wondered how long he would have to wait it out, before admitting to his parents of his deeds. Whether intentional or not. He actually thought at one point of introducing himself to his neighbour, but Steve immediately dismissed the idea – He was horrible at interpersonal relationship, and some memories were still fresh in his mind. He did not want to go through those again. Or maybe he was a coward, whether he liked it or not. Still, the way he felt the more he watched the mysterious girl didn’t leave him. He couldn’t forget what he witnessed, and how his body reacted to those... stimulants. After that one night, when he finally asked himself if he had fallen in
