About The Story
End of another busy work week. As is customary every Friday night, computer geniuses get together to continue competing in one of their company�s ongoing virtual reality games. Tonight�s choice: Witchkin. A game which began months ago with forty nine players and which has dwindled to nine. But inside the game itself, centuries of combative spells have come and gone. The rules are simple. Become transformed into a unique powerful witch. Either as a group or an individual� destroy Stellavene, the dominant witch, never defeated since the software�s release. As the game is played, other employees�some of them previous logoffs (as the losers are called)�watch the actual computer-generated action, as it is compressed into three hour episodes from monitors in their corporate skyscraper bar called the Showers Lounge. What stratagy will the surviving players implement? And who is actually being played?
