《Mister Tadeus》Chapter 2: Signs of life
Advertisement
David opened the door, and when he saw who was on the other side, he pulled his boyfriend into a tight hug.
"Oh thank god, Tad, you're okay. I was so freaking worried, you weren't answering my calls, and... Damn I missed you"
When they came inside, Tadeus described what happened in his absence: the car crash, the resulting memory gap, the hospital.
"Wait, you had a concussion, and they just let you walk out? This is so irresponsible!"
"I mean, they have a lot of work nowadays, with the whole Starlight thing."
There was an ongoing debate about what Starlight really was. Some called it a terrorist organization, others said it was a cult, but everyone agreed it was dangerous. Starlight's agents infiltrated large companies, and seemingly at random attacked their infrastructure from the inside. Bombs, arson, bank robberies - anything short of murder in broad daylight was on the table.
The only thing that showed any link between their crimes was a symbol they left on each site: a five-pointed star inside a triangle.
"Well sure, they can't accomodate everyone, but... " David sighed. "Alright. I'm glad you are okay. You are okay, right?"
"Yeah man, I'm good. I think you are a bit paranoid there, honey. Maybe I should start worrying about you?" Tadeus said, smirking.
"About me- you know what, let's just watch a movie and order pizza. I think we both need a relaxing evening."
"Deal."
Tadeus acted laid back, but internally he was even more worried than David. Since he woke in the hospital, he felt like something was off. It was as if his very bones were itching a little, a restlessness and discomfort he could not shake off.
Tadeus wanted to go back to work the very next day, but David insisted he take a day off. When David left to his work in the burger restaurant he was a chef in, Tadeus was left to his own devices.

After the third hour of surding the web alone in the apartment, the biologist in him forced him to follow a hunch: he took a sample of his own blood, just a few drops, and went on to examine it under a microscope. His home office doubled as a small lab, because sometimes Tadeus couldn't resist studying a sample after hours, but the university's lab was being closed after seven, no exceptions.
'Let's see if something's up, or if I really got hit that hard.' Tadeus thought, adjusting the microscope's zoom.
"Wha- when? How?"
Whatr he was staring at was a collection of his blood cells. They were surrounded by a large number of floyda concordis.
"Alright Tad, don't panic. They are benign, they won't kill you or even hurt you." 'Wait. Hurting. My arm doesn't hurt.' Tadeus looked at his left arm, where he took the blood sample from.
There was no pain, and there was no sign thaty a needle ever puncured his skin.

Outlook: The Stars (Consciousness Unbound Book 1)
The year is 2152. Rune Yahui is a nineteen-year-old failure, not having gained entrance to college or the military, with no significant prospects in life. Even worse, Rune is the poorest of the poor, hailing from the mega-slums of New Southern Chicago, the lowest pit of America. In a desperate last-ditch attempt to gain a future more lustrous than toiling the rest of his days away in abhorrent conditions in one of the near sweat-shop level factories that dot the megapolis, Rune signs up for the Virtual Citizen program, a program to cull the excessive world population by transferring just their brains into a video game. In a stroke of rare luck, Rune is admitted into the program and happily submits himself to the surgery and digitization process. Unfortunately for him, he wakes up several hundred years later than he expected... or does he? **Author's Note** This isn't a type of story typical to RRL. You may have noticed LitRPG in the tags, but it's a relatively minor element in the story until later. You may also notice Slice of Life is in the tags. This story is going to be slow and there won't be any power tripping until way later if at all. The focus will be on character development. That doesn't mean I won't still have action/excitement, however. I encourage you to give the story a try. Maybe it will be your thing, maybe it won't. Thanks for even taking the time to read this, and if you do give my fiction a try, I hope you enjoy it. If you don't, well, I hope you find something that you do enjoy. Happy reading!

In Z Finite
This is the story of Zarco, a young guy with a magic stone and not much else, and Caelum, a wingless "angel". "Caelum-That's stupid... Zarco-Eh, it is..." Ahem, anyway, a lot of action & adventure awaits them, as they are forced together on a journey in search of some magic stones of legendary power. "Zarco-Liar! We're currently doing a lot more of "trying to survive" than rock picking around here! Caelum-Yeah, that is pretty misleading." Ok, screw this, I am out, if nobody read this story it will be your fault. "Zarco-The hell are you talking about, you're the one who wrote this... Caelum-Since our writer is unreliable, I will finish this. This story at its core is just a fun rump, focused on action, adventure, and a lot of comedic dialogue and exchanges. If you had at least a chuckle reading this then you will probably enjoy the story. Zarco-Yo, thanks for reading till this point, we will meet again at the pages."
