《Cecil Bee's Flash Fiction》Blast
Advertisement
A bomb counts down under the living room but the people above are unaware.
Jim: “I’m telling you it isn’t possible.”
Sarah: “It is possible and has happened.”
Jim: “There is no way a guy can be struck by lightning and bitten by a cobra at the same time and live to tell about it. It simply is not possible.”
Ken: “Hmm…”
Sarah: “It is possible! My friend’s sister’s boyfriend told us.”
Jim: “And you believed him!”
Ken: “Does anyone hear that ticking.” Sarah makes a face.
Sarah: “Yes!”
Ken: “Really? Where do you think it’s coming from?”
Jim: “Then you are stupider than I thought you were.”
Sarah: “No! You’re stupider!”
Ken: “Where did you say you heard it?” He got up and started looking around the room.
Tick Tock Tick
Jim: “No, you’re stupider!” Ken checked behind the couch.
Pam: “Stop fighting!” She yelled from the kitchen. Ken checked under the bookshelves.
Sarah: “You’re the Stupidest!” Ken around the coffee table. Pam entered the room.
Pam: “If you two don’t knock it off, you’re both going to be grounded!” Ken looked around in the dining room but the ticking got quieter.
Sarah: “He started it!” Ken came back to the living room.
Tick Tock Tick
Jim: “Well you hadn’t said something so stupid I wouldn’t have commented.”
Tick Tock Tick
Ken stepped out through the front door: quieter.
Pam: “THAT’S IT!”
BOOOOOOOOOOOM
The blast knocks Ken back. The front of the house, gone. Debris showered the lawn along with 'other'. Ken’s mind was in a spin. He looked around but there was a foreign spin. What happened?

The Infinite Labyrinth
(Story complete - Book 1 "Shanghaied", 2 "Shortcuts", 3 "Secrets" and 4 "Sanctions") It is the 19th century, and war smoulders between England and France. Any hope for a quick end to Napoleon's rampage across Europe ended when the Great Gates opened in 1800. For a fortunate few, the strange world of the Infinite Labyrinth offers opportunities, strange descriptors popping in their minds, informing them of growth, and status beyond that of a mere mortal. The materials and power crystal they bring back foster a new age, both military and civilian. Aether-powered Skyships prowl the skies, as all the great nations blessed by the Gates try to turn the blessings of the Labyrinth into immediate advantages. But for Jonas, an apprentice leatherworker, his friend Ira, and so many Londoners, the fabled ones that walk the Labyrinth are distant heroes, seen from afar. They fell short when their Potential was measured, and they fill their mundane lives with distant dreams. One man wants to break the stalemate. The Tyrant of the Dominion of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, has a plan. Eighteen years after the world changed, he will force it to change again. And when civilians are caught in the fallout, the unthinkable happens. Six people, unqualified, forbidden to ever enter the Labyrinth, find themselves stranded in a distant zone, forcefully turned into Professionals. They know little of what that means, but they have to figure out the rules that are now their lot, for they have little hope to escape their predicament otherwise. They need to understand what the descriptors in their minds mean, what each of the strange piece of gear waiting in treasure chests behind terrible guardians can bring them. They have to become Professionals on their own and rejoin the Empire. They will figure out their new lives one way or another. But will there be an Empire waiting for them when the Gates re-open? Caught in a clash of empires and high tiers, they will do what little they can. They will step up and do their best. One way or another. The Infinite Labyrinth is a slice-of-life litRPG adventure set in a real historical setting. It's a hard, crunchy litrpg. Expect blue boxes everywhere, and the system itself is very mathy. It started life as a serial. I prepared some proper worldbuilding, with enough details and background for lots of different potential story arcs, but as I wrote, I realized the main story needs to have a definitive end. So, there are four books in total, for a bit under 1500 pages, plus additional side stories, and even maybe a sequel one day. The Gore tag was added as a precaution because there are a few scenes with some light gore.

Sometimes, even the most outright affront to liberty seems to be justified under certain contexts. Or maybe I should stop reading about Stalin, I think it's affecting me.
