    About this ebook

    Rood Der: Episode 03: Sometimes love is the best medicine, and he has not felt well for quite some time, and feels that now is the time to test the limits of the new world, and vows to enter that place, practically naked. Everything seems going right along with the plan, until he gets hijacked, by his own car. When you stare into the Abyss, don't be surprised if the Abyss stares back.

    How deep are we, immersed in this world we call reality? How many turtles down do we go, in this discombobulated, mixed-metaphor, rabbit-hole world?

    Their world might be based on Ayn Rand, her writings, philosophies, and her U.S. Presidency, but how dense are their numbers compressed, and for how long will their simulation even run? This little group has been provided an exit, but would anyone be rude enough to dare and leave their very own reality?

    Take the Rude Dare, and Cross over, where data is data, through the Red Door. From the author of Vestigial Surreality comes the new serial novel, Rood Der.

      The decision was done. He had decided. The truth was, he was sick of this world. Nothing seemed real to him, here, nothing but the illness riddling his body. And so now he was going to take the dare, he was going through, and he wasn’t telling anybody. Looked at one way, this could be the most elaborate form of suicide a guy had ever devised for himself, but really, it was nothing more than walking through a door. And that is what he was going to do, he had decided, and he was not changing his mind. Actually, he had been considering this for some time now, for months, perhaps ever since that strange man had come flying backwards into their world. Possibly, he had been thinking through his possibilities, long before that day, deciding even then upon the exit.

      He wasn’t giving up, that wasn’t the point. No, he was taking his last shot. This wasn’t about dying. It was about living. Hopefully, this new world would give him new life, because really, things just felt more...real, over there. When he was there, Frederic felt more solid, as if he had more molecules. Dense, but in a very good way. No, he was not giving up, he never gave up, and would never give up—this was taking one last shot, his longshot.

      Oh, he was sick, over there, too. There was no questioning that. If possible, his gut pains were worse there. The bleeding was worse there. Voiding the
