《Cars: Story of Jackson Storm》Chapter 8: Cruz's Concerns
Advertisement
Cruz continues to worry without sleeping in the middle of town.
"(Sigh)..." Cruz sighs. And someone is approaching Cruz. It was Sally. Sally is worried about not sleeping.
"Cruz, are you okay? You don't feel good..." Sally said. "I'm fine..." Cruz replied. Sally hears it again.
"Don't lie... tell me the truth..." And Cruz says frankly.
"Actually... I..." Sally smiles and comforts Cruz. "It's okay, you can tell me. I'll solve your worries." Cruz sighs and finally speaks.
"So I... I fell in love with... Jackson... I threw it away..." Then Sally was surprised.
Sally: Did you fall in love with Storm?
Cruz: Yeah... that was before I was dancing with Storm and I was watching other friends dancing... But suddenly Storm and I met with me... and Storm's gray eyes and black paint and blue Neon sign... It's perfect with the White Will tire.
???: Cruz, I understand your concern.
Cruz: Mr. McQueen?! Aren't you sleeping yet?!
Lightning: I'm sorry for the surprise. Cruz, you're a racer with excellent talent. If you were, it might be the key to the true future of Jackson.
Cruz: What do you mean?
Sally: What a Stickers mean is Jackson is a lock and you are the key.
Cruz: Oh, is that it? Why is that?
Lightning: You explained it last night? You're practicing racing with Jackson. It's through your heart and I've turned the key to the heart of his heart, but I'm not able to...
Sally: So you're the key to Jackson. In other words, you can open the mind of Jackson.
Lightning: Cruz... You're he's hope, and a disciple.
Sally: Cruz, you can do it.
Cruz: Mr. McQueen... Mrs. Sally... (smiles)
Thank you very much...!!!
Lightning, Sally: (Laughter)
Cruz: Okay. I will definitely open his mind!
Lightning: Why don't you sleep first? Then what if your face is broken? (joke)
Cruz: (Laughter) Okay! Good night, Everyone!
Lightning, Sally: Good night Cruz!
The Cruz enters room 2 and closes.
Sally: Stickers... I think you look a lot like Doc....
Lightning: Don't say that Sally... I'm always continuing your will.
Sally: You always pretend to be nice...?
Lightning: (Laughter) Okay... Let's sleep, Sally.
Sally: Good night Stickers. (smiles)
Lightning: Yeah you too. (smiles)
Sally went into the store and Lightning went into room 1.

Dungeon Devotee
Through all of Linaria, no dungeon holds such a grip on the dreams of men as the Eternal Depths. Hundreds throw themselves against its trials each day. Dozens survive, walking away with power and wealth beyond their wildest dreams… until they go back for more. One way or another, they all eventually feed the Depths. Edmund Montgomery Ahab has sworn to destroy it. Underleveled, undertrained, and underprepared, Edmund steps into the maw of the world’s greatest predator, a sword in his hand and vengeance on his mind. At first his task seems impossible, but with every level he earns, every piece of loot that drops, every secret he uncovers, and especially every bit of power he can squeeze from his mysterious connection to the Aspect of Madness, Edmund crawls closer to accomplishing that insurmountable feat. With nothing else to lose, Edmund has already given the Depths his life. All that remains to be seen is whether he takes the dungeon’s right back. Dungeon Devotee is an episodic serial. It will never be taken down for KU. Each chapter details a single floor of Edmund’s journey through the vast Eternal Depths, with all the levels and loot and lack of cliffhangers that entails. New chapters come out on the first of each month.

8 149The Electric Archipelago (WIP)
This is the first draft of my new cyberpunk novel, The Electric Archipelago. In the future humanity is imprisoned by massive corporations. Computers are directly connected to their brains, creating a nightmarish state of absolute control, every action is monitored and harshly judged. Perhaps worst of all, the victim's perception of reality itself is controlled. A system of social credit hangs over everyone's heads. If you want to survive you will need to pick a company and stay loyal to that brand. But it goes beyond that, because each corporation has been infiltrated and taken over by forces that are interested in more than just profit. John is a Skinwalker, a free man, a man who is immune to these restrictions. He goes where he wants and does what he wants, moving from one augmented reality to the next, always looking for the next score.
8 198The Devils Of The Biterrain
Zavier was an unremarkable suburbanite living just outside of Seattle. He was finishing up his final semester of high school and preparing to go to college despite a nagging lack of excitement for his future. In the blink of an eye, his life is thrown into chaos when Zavier meets a young man from an alien world named Yafu. Yafu has accidentally been thrown to Earth via portal while chasing the dangerous Poison Fang cult on his world. These two boys quickly come into contact with Arigo, a mysterious and powerful defender of Earth from various interlopers from Yafu’s world, known as the Biterrain. When Arigo discovers that Zavier was used as an unknowing and seemingly impossible vessel for the Fang to try to invade Earth, Arigo decides to send the two boys, along with his faithful assistant Anenna, to the Biterrain for answers on Zavier’s anomalous condition. In this new and dangerous world, Zavier weighs his own feelings of personal inadequacy against the backdrop of his sudden and mysterious importance. Meanwhile Yafu struggles with the limits to his thirst for vengeance and ultimately his future without it. Finally, Anenna must begin to confront a new identity as the last parts of her old one abandon her. In the background of their journey is the mystery around the Immortal King, the mythic founder of the Biterrain’s dominant religion who allegedly disappeared to Earth many millennia ago. Despite the planet being central to the dogma around their messiah figure, Earth has been relegated to myth and conjecture by the general populace of the Biterrain due to their inability to validate its existence in the present time. How will Zavier navigate in a world where he holds its holy grail within his own identity and who can he really trust in a world of such contrived obliviousness?
