《Amusement Park》Season III: Chapter I - Firm Handshake
Advertisement
It all starts with a firm handshake. That's how I got started with all of this. I used to be in a different position, but I focused on my work and made things work. I used to be saving every little penny and trying to make ends meet. And now? I'm driving three different sports cars. Look at yourself. You're young and strong. You just have to put your mind to it. You have to put your mind to whatever you want to do. What do you want to do? Really? I bet you can do better. You're a smart guy. I know it. I know when I see a smart guy like yourself.
...
Whoa, she was hot. Damn.
You know, I'm pretty up there with my age but I'm pulling in early twenties. I wasn't able to do that years ago. Look at me now. I have the confidence now. I worked on it. You don't have to be the smartest person in the room. You need...
...
Hey, how are you?
You need perseverance. It's what some people have who've gone off to do big things. Past and present. You can do that. Don't be like everyone else. Everyone else is mostly mediocre. You can do big things just like some few other people. You can do it. Don't settle for less or even average. Always do better.
...
Did you see her? Damn, she was a looker.
Do you have a girlfriend? That's okay. My ex was a bitch. Said some crazy things when we broke up. I thought she was going to be my wife, but the truth is that was never the case. You can't go after or even stick with one woman. It'll only leave you heartbroken. You need a plan A and B and C and all the way to Z. Always.

...
Hello. How's your day going?
What do you want to be in the future? Tell me your dreams. What do you want to see yourself doing? Not just what you see yourself, but what you want to see yourself doing. Just be honest.
...
Damn, I would love to get a piece of that. Wouldn't you? Damn.

The Eighth Warden
Cast out from his knightly order for using magic, Corec has no idea what lies ahead. Leaving his homeland to make his own way in the world, he finds himself linked to a beautiful woman through a mysterious rune. With otherworldly forces manipulating events behind the scenes, the two must seek help to free themselves from the unknown magic. But when the runes continue affecting others, Corec and his companions—an elven druid, a con man with a hidden past, and a thief who wants to be a bard—must work to discover truths about themselves and the world in which they live. I post the chapters here as I write them. There's also a revised version of each book that's collected and published as an ebook and paperback. That version is compatible with the version posted here—the story itself hasn't changed; it's just gone through additional rounds of editing.
