The Storage Room in the Grey Void - John H. Carroll

My newest short story.

Somewhat of a Twilight Zone-ish tale.

Video games bring entertainment and excitement to the lives of those who play them. New worlds and adventure await those so inclined to play. To satisfy those desires, corporations hire writers, programmers and game makers of every sort to create fantastic universes and fascinating characters.

But what of those characters created for those games? Perhaps they are a bit more real than we might think. Perhaps they have feelings and desires, much as we who play the games do. How do those characters feel about having to wake up every time a game is turned on, just to be attacked or beaten up by other characters within their world. Perhaps the adventure is not so much fun for them.

And what of the characters who don’t get included in the game? What is their fate? Do they still have feelings? Do they still have desires? This is the story of one such character, perhaps not important in the scheme of the game, but a character with desires and thoughts nonetheless.

I've updated the original post with links for B&N, Apple, Sony and Diesel.

If you should have another store you would like to see my stories in, please let me know. I'll see what I can do.
