The Auditing (Commission) (Patreon)

Hey folks! Finishing up this month with a commission piece by an anonymous commissioner. It was in interesting prompt: two students conducting an experiment about the practices of a fictional cult-like religion (totally not based on any real cult-like religion) discover that they work much, much better than anyone expected. This story was an interesting opportunity to write some really subtle, dialogue-driven 'therapy' where the influence that one character has on another turns out to be a positive force - as well as a way to have some fun. It's a little more subdued than some of my other stories, which hopefully makes for a nice change of pace.

Expect some more commission pieces over the next few weeks, as well as of course more Subroutine
