Tales from the ARVInn, 2

by: Robert Nalley | Complete Story | Last updated Jun 15, 2024


[If you receive a 'Server Error,' the chapters can still be reached through the 'Chapters' link.] ............................................................................................................................... A series of tales set in a world where an Age Regression Virus escapes a researcher and has notable effects on the population. Chapters will be separate experiences or descriptions. The life experiences of those who contract the ARV are as varied as life itself, ranging from a select few who were simply 'frozen' at their current age down to some who became toddler size, with all the issues and difficulties one might expect. ***************************************************************************** **Please note that due to the complexity of some of the items, a link to a MediaFire file will be provided. Others will be posted as originally created or specifically adapted to this site.**
