Welcome to the ApocalypseBook 1- Pandoraby D L RichardsonGenre: Apocalyptic Sci-Fi
The Apocalypse Games is a state of the art virtual game designed to entertain doomsday preppers, gamers, and cosplayers. But not everyone who enters is there to play the game the way the creators intended. Some players don't belong at all and some enter the game to escape reality. Whatever the reason, over 100 people hook up to the mainframe computer with one goal: survive twenty-four hours of an apocalypse. Instead of game over at the end, they're plugged straight into a new game. Then another. It's clear to the players the computer has malfunctioned. What isn't clear is why.

The operator nodded. "Have you chosen an apocalypse to survive? Or will you opt for the random selection?""I don't mind surprises, but Kelly's…let's just say she's a novice at this. We've decided to play—"Her fingers swiftly landed on his lips. "Don't tell me. If I don't know then I can't reveal any spoilers."She slipped the laminated pass around his neck and continued ushering him toward The Launch Pad. At the doorway, she gently pried her arm away and her azure-blue eyes twinkled."I assure you, Mr Minnow. You will be in the greatest of care. Please make your way inside and enjoy your complimentary champagne. It won't be long until you're taken to the simulation pod."The doubt still niggled at him. "So when we die in the game, what happens?"She looked off to another player signing up at the desk."Miss…Operator?"At last she turned around and smiled, revealing dazzling white teeth. "You can't die in the game.""But it'll feel like it. That's what the brochure says.""Yes, it will feel like death," she said before walking briskly away.

Welcome to the ApocalypseBook 2- CyberNexis
Getting out of the game used to be all that mattered. Now all that matters is getting back in.
THEN... The Apocalypse Games is a state of the art virtual game designed to entertain doomsday preppers, gamers, and cosplayers. But not everyone who entered was there to play the game the way the creators intended. Some players didn't belong at all and some entered the game to escape reality. Whatever the reason, over 100 people were hooked up to the mainframe computer with one goal: survive twenty-four hours of an apocalypse. Instead of game over at the end, they were plugged straight into a new game. Then another. It was clear to the players the computer has malfunctioned. What wasn't clear was why.
NOW...the players find themselves in an offsite facility far from their original location, unsure why or how CyberNexis moved them. Getting out of the game used to be all that mattered. But not anymore. The world has changed and CyberNexis is keeping a secret that needs to be exposed.

Buildings were on fire, guns were being fired, smoke filled her nostrils.The window beside her smashed, glass flew into the plate of eggs, and someone - no something - jumped through the opening.There wasn't anything human about this creature. It had matted hair that was encrusted with dirt and blood. It carried knives in both hands and the hide of a deer was wrapped around its back. Bones hung around its neck and when it caught Kelly's gaze, it growled. The spell was broken. Her reflexes sprang into action. She ran out of the cafe.Whatever happens next, she told herself, just keep running.The beast matched her pace, running beside her with its wild hair trailing like a horse's mane. It turned its head and smiled, revealing yellow teeth. In her head she heard a voice yelling at her to go left, and so she did. But she ran straight into another creature.It held a knife above its head. Staring at it, she noticed it was too small to be knife. A syringe! The beast swung the syringe down into her neck. Except it wasn't a syringe, it was a computer cable.D L Richardson likes many things. Reality isn't one of them.
