The Mything Road
The Bureau of Imaginary Problems 2
by Ross Hathaway
Reality is held together by stories.
Someone just put them up for a vote.
Agent Mara Quill expected paperwork, containment protocols, and maybe a mildly haunted bridge.
Instead, she found a miniature golf course running a continent-spanning network of cryptids, myths, and living infrastructure—controlled by a windmill that requires her to vote on reality itself.
Each decision expands the system.
Each connection strengthens it.
Each story becomes part of something larger.
Then something notices. The Devourer does not attack cities or armies.
It consumes structure. It erases meaning. It unravels the connections that make reality hold together.
And now it has found a network built entirely out of those connections.
Humanity’s response?
Deploy everything.
Ancient myths once carved into stone.
Legends whispered across generations.
Cryptids that refuse to be forgotten.
And, because this is still technically a government operation—Forms.
Thousands of them. Binding. Defining. Weaponized paperwork that can anchor reality just long enough to hold the line.
As interdimensional networks begin to connect, foreign agencies scramble, and something cold and ancient steps through to observe, Mara Quill realizes the truth:
This is not a new system.
This is not a new war.
This is something humanity has been building, defending, and remembering for longer than history admits.
