The Events Leading Up To That Thursday, also known as TELUTT, was one of the recurring titles for what would become Worm. TELUTT had roughly four concrete versions.
'The events leading up to that Thursday' is one of the recurring titles for drafts of Worm. They usually featured rotating viewpoints between Faultline, the Triumvirate and Guts & Glory, It was an attempt by the author to incorporate every character then created into up to that point in one overarching story. As well as finding sympathetic characters as protagonists and using comparativly weak powers in new and interesting ways trying to break form standard baseline powers seen throughout superhero fiction [1].
