《Manaseared》~~AUTHORIAL AUDIO INTERLUDE~~
Advertisement
I've been trying to keep my chapter list clean, but now that we're past Manaseared's halfway point (in theory) I thought it would be interesting to do what I had planned to do ages ago: a narrated chapter. I haven't done anything like this since college, yet still I've always imagined myself narrating my own audiobooks. I'm a bit out of practice--but hopefully you don't find the speaking too fast or mind the tones of my AC too much (they only last the first two minutes!).
It took a while to decide which chapter to go with. The freeing of Lord Arqa and the arena at Sam'al were both tempting options, but I wanted something with both Eris and Rook, and I thought simple and short would work well as a test run. With these considerations in mind, and given recent relationship developments, I decided to go with Year One, Late Spring: The Road.
So with all that out of the way, here's a link to the soundcloud recording of that chapter, narrated by me. If nothing else I hope it's a fun throwback to simpler times.

I'm doing this mostly as a fun experiment, but if you're interested in more, let me know--I might go back and make recordings for the most significant chapters if I can find the time.
By the way, I probably won't do another post like this, so while I'm here I want to mention that you can find my blog at www.theplayeristhething.com. I mostly do games criticism--and some other stuff--but if you're interested in my fiction I'm currently engaged in a Thing a Week project, in which I upload a new short story every Sunday. I'm almost done with that now, and you can find the vast library of stories here: https://theplayeristhething.com/thing-a-week/.
As ever, thanks for reading--and (now) listening!

The Traitor Games
Welcome to the Traitor Games, and congratulations on your invitation to join as one of the races putting on a show for the galaxy. Your species has been judged as too violent for integration into the Galactic Conglomerate and thus the decision has been made to relegate you to a probationary period during which members of your species will be pitted against each other in games of lies and betrayal. Unfortunate, but the great thing about a probationary period is that it can end! How can we do that; you might be asking. Well, that's easy, if those participants can earn enough points through playing the games, they can potentially buy out your probationary time. Of course, other rewards will also be on offer for success in the games, and if none of your species chooses to be selfless, well then it just goes to show that you wouldn't have been a good fit for us anyway. All those on Earth unlucky enough to not be chosen to become part of one of the most popular shows on Galactic Television, fear not. We will be streaming the various games your race is participating in all across the world. Should we run out of participants, even with our most generous three life system, we will draw more from the population. Good Luck! Noah Landry is one of these participants, he just doesn't know it yet. He blacks out while walking to the local bar McCaffery's, and finds himself, somewhere else. He's wearing clothing he doesn't remember putting on and rocking an absolute banger of a headache. Now he needs to figure out where he is, what's going on, and how he can get out of the Traitor Games. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The Pig and the Frog
~completed~What do you want to be Beatrice? I mean when you grow up." Tobias says, while we share our last moments together. We lay on the grass. Two six year olds. Laying in our spot looking at the sky. I look over to him, into his sky blue eyes and smile. "You know what. I want to be a frog. I never have to leave you. And I can jump so high I can touch the sky. And I'll be free. Oh everything would be amazing!"He smiles at me and giggles. "I want to be a pig. Never have to leave you. AND I get to be as messy as I want!" We both burst into laughter. I'm going to miss this. I hear my mother calling me and my eyes fill with tears. "I'm going to miss you Toby!" I wrap my small arms around him and look into his chubby little face. "I will miss you to, Trissy."
