Oceanwrangler300 is typing...
A downloadable book
"Oceanwrangler300 is typing..." is a short story detailing the last chat logs between a meek boy named DreamDog (Dream for short) and his hot-tempered internet friend, Oceanwrangler300. Ocean has recently come back online after weeks of radio silence, and an old cycle of abuse threatens to start up again as we take a peek into an internet friendship that's in the jaws of death.

god i have a lot of feelings about this story and it's really like ocean is all the shitty online friends I've ever had pumped up to 11 (which unfortunately has continued to adulthood)
I've never had anyone be as awful to me as ocean was to my face but it's like all the things I knew were implicit in my relationships with people was laid bare.
I've never had anything as extreme as the end happen to me but in a metaphorical way it made me wonder about an alternate reality in which I let those people continue to break me down so I could be their definition of a 'good friend'.
I look forward to what you make next and I'm very inspired and happy to know that internet chat stories are a thing.
Today I will post the expanded universe of this story - it's called "onlife", wishlist it as soon as you can!!
Thank you very much for the incredible words :D
