The Umber Army-Chapter 1: Everything Falls Apart Here is chapter 1 of my original story on Scratch! The Umber Army is about a group of a fantasy world's last survivors fighting back a relentless army of Shadowbeings, beings connected to all that is void and unreality. This chapter begins the story. I have another story going (Burpy the Farmcat) that I'm focusing more on at the moment so I don't know how often I'll post this, but here is chapter 1. Ask for pings if you want me to alert you to the next chapter or follow the studio to see when a project gets added. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Here is my submission for the writing contest! I used the "funny how when you take a break the world falls apart prompt." This inspired me to start writing a story as well on Scratch, so this is chapter 1! Don't know how often I'll post as this is just a hobby and I'm super busy, but I hope you enjoy it! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Next chapter: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1307753969
