You press the button.
Ding.
The walls are back to their nice, normal concrete selves.
There’s an old TV set sitting on the floor. One of those giant antique things, made before colors were invented.
Go ahead, turn it on.
No, it isn’t connected to anything, There aren’t any electrical outlets in here.
You turn it on anyways.
To your mild surprise, it turns on. A horrible sound quality blairs out a Captain Crunch commercial from the 60’s.
You take a seat, watching the commercial. After that comes another commercial.
And another.
And yet another.
You start to wonder if it’ll ever get to the show.
By the time you decide that this is the All-Commercial Channel I’ve had time to finish my pizza. Thank you.
You try to change the channel.
There are only three working channels, spread out between a grand total of twelve possible channels.
The working channels all show the same thing.
After watching for half an hour, getting thoroughly bored, it shows the Captain Crunch commercial again.
Yep! This is all it is!
Realizing you’ve just wasted half an hour of your very valuable time, you become frustrated with the tv. You glare at it for a few seconds, then get up.
You carefully judge the height of the tv, positioning yourself. Then, putting all your kung-fu movie knowledge into practice, you lift your knee and kick the screen.
It shatters, sparks flying everywhere. It’s quite impressive, and would have been even more impressive if your foot hadn’t gotten stuck.
The sound quality is now exceptionally bad, and I’m laughing my ass off.
You hop in place for a few seconds, trying to dislodge your foot. It- it’s great. You look so ridiculous.
Eventually you manage to free your foot, and step closer to inspect the damage.
The screen is very broken. There’s a foot-sized hole in the middle. It’s still sparking slightly, so I’d recommend not touching it.
You aren’t harmed, though. It’s a miracle you didn’t cut yourself, what with all the glass everywhere.
You step away, pleased with yourself.
Oh if only you had a sledgehammer…

Tartarus Online
“The new is built upon the old. This is true across all realities, and even the gods themselves cannot escape this fact. Welcome to Tartarus Online, a VRMMOG (Vi-Mog) that offers far more than your usual roleplaying game fare. It is a whole new reality, with a completely level playing field. Gone are the choices of Classes and Archetypes, starting kits and pay-for features. In the bowels of Tartarus, only your effort matters. Once more I welcome you to Tartarus Online. We are going to have a Hells’ of a time.” These were the words that really caught Riley Culman’s attention while watching the promotional video the two guys in nicely tailored suits had brought to him. The two men had come with an invitation, and an offer; which sounded more like a deal with a devil, but was seriously on the up-and-up. Not that these guys from Astarte Entertainment had any reason to lie or be evasive on the subject, given just how massive a corporation Astarte is. Beta Test Tartarus Online. Explore a brand new world. Sleep away his chair-bound life while testing the latest in long term virtual reality immersion technology. And maybe, just maybe regain the mobility robbed from him by an accident as a child. It really sounded all too good to be true to Riley, thus the feeling of making a deal with a devil. But it was what he wanted, more than anything. Welcome to Tartarus Online indeed. Even if the Hells’ are only a step away. [I will also be hosting this story on Scribble Hub, thank you.]

Wolf's Oath Book 1: Oath Sworn
In Aralt ‘Wolf” syr Tremayne’s world, skyships sail above tidal extremes, crystal swords are Tuned, and the soul-touched inspire both awe and fear. The latter doesn’t phase him, he carries a Tuned blade, and as for the ships…Aralt prefers to keep his feet on solid ground. Having finally laid to rest the ghosts of his past, he is unprepared when the grave gives one of them back. To his shame, it isn’t the one he wants. Lian Kynsei’s arrival upends Aralt’s life, but there is nothing he can do about it. Oath-bound to Lian, the last of a priestly clan, he is now defender of the scion of a faith he no longer shares. But the boy Aralt once knew is gone. In his place is a reckless, traumatized teen who can light the sky on fire. The more they get reacquainted, the less Aralt likes him—and the feeling is mutual. As revenge against a common enemy boils in his blood, Aralt struggles to do his oath-sworn duty and secure sanctuary for the heir-apparent to a mystical dynasty. But instead of safety, every step brings them closer to danger: sky pirates, cannibals, and a relentless soulless scourge unleashed by their enemy are all intent on killing Lian—or worse. Death, Aralt realizes, might be the greater mercy. ---------------------------------------------------------- What to Expect: Character-driven Plot Novel Pacing (which I accept isn't typical for serials) Elaborate Worldbuilding (you gotta pay attention) Soul-bonded Swords Sentient Wolves Longish Chapters What Not to Expect: Litrpg (sorry!) Harem (not sorry!) Magic System Short Chapters Dancing Bears (at least so far) Seriously, this is a second-world low fantasy/science-fantasy featuring a strong, but flawed male protagonist, a cheeky teenage boy that’s driving him crazy, a wee bit o’ Scots flavor, and a whole lot of culture clashing. I’m preparing to relaunch this story on Kindle once the second and third books are ready and I’d love some feedback as I move through those revisions. I'm serious about the feedback. All comments are welcome. I'll name a characters after you. And kill them, if you want. :) Oh, did I mention soulless assassins and cannibals? Yeah, Aralt’s day is not getting any better. cover image by brosedesignz
