Lore: ACT I

"Alex put on sweats in the locker room, his adrenaline still racing needing to burn off the hard energy.

He ran an obstacle course set up on a track surrounding an old football field in an abandoned stadium.

“You’ll see why sometimes it’s better the less you know,” He kept hearing. The image kept playing out in his mind in variations. It was all he could focus on as his mind raced with information, too much to retain.

He pushed himself harder to push it out till he lost his lap count.

He’d done enough.

The obstacle course dematerialized into an empty all white room with modal sensor panels on the walls.

Alex left.

The next day he walked into the classroom.

Twelve ten on the wall clock.

It was about to begin.

“None of you will remember this until after you’ve passed,” The instructor told his small group as he wrote a set of simplified equations on the whiteboard, the word contingency intervals written at the top. “An inconvenient anomaly, but also a form of security.”

He glanced at each student individually, their uniforms slightly varying to signify their field curriculum. “You should all know at this point its advantages and disadvantages.”

Action, Suspense, Sci-fi Fantasy, Time Travel, Supernatural

About the Author

Hello,

For those of you who are new, I hope you enjoy.  

If you've already read some of these, I'm glad you're back.

It's been terrible for building trust and invites all sorts of nonsense, but my lack of presence is better for new readers to get into the story and character. So I'm elusive for that reason, mostly.

If you're interested in getting to know me, forgive us, you can check my other social media for that, but I'm afraid you won't find much at the moment. I keep putting it off.

Some of these are quick easy reads I hope will leave you laughing or with some sort of satisfied wonder (I know. I'm finishing them.) Others are over stylized with complex plot structures that require inquisition.

I can't promise you'll like everything I write, but you'll know (for the most part) what you're getting into.

Complex issues, simple themes. Characters opinions are their own.

If you like any of them please share. I appreciate every one of you who have.
