Reremembering Christmas

By Robin Glassey

Christmas may never arrive when a forbidden virtual reality trip goes horribly wrong.

Rebecca’s parents have banned her from ever touching a set of virtual reality glasses again. But once an addict, always an addict. When Rebecca sees a pair of prototype VR glasses on her grandmother’s desk, she just can’t help herself.

The trip into the VR photo album of her grandmother’s Christmases past is entertaining until Rebecca encounters a hacker and the avatar of her great uncle Devlin, the black sheep of the family, who has sinister plans beyond altering a few photos in Grandma Elaine’s virtual album.

If Rebecca can’t escape the virtual world and warn her family in time, they won’t live to see another Christmas.

Escape into the world of Christmas future in this humorous short story by award-winning author and FanX presenter Robin Glassey as she draws on memories of Christmases past and weaves them into a futuristic story of the possibilities of virtual reality.
