Blue Screens of Death: A System Apocalypse short story

Written by Tao Wong

Narrated by Nick Podehl

Morning in Whitehorse, and everything is the normal. All too normal. A girlfriend who loves him, an evening at the farmer’s market in Shipyard’s Park. Idyllic, relaxing, peaceful. What more could a man want?

 

John Lee isn’t sure, but stray thoughts intrude, and memories of a different time, a different place, a different world keep intruding. Angst-ridden, exhausting memories of a world of pain and struggle. Nothing like the paradise he lives in.

 

Now, if only John wasn’t so attracted to them.

 

This short story is set between Books 9 and 10. Minor spoilers included within.
