Werbeloff’s short stories have been downloaded over 20,000 times. Obsidian
Worlds brings together his 11 best-selling sci-fi shorts into a mind-bending
philosophical anthology.
In Your Averaged Joe,
a man’s headache is large enough to hold the multiverse. Q46F is an
obsessive-compulsive android who finds love in a zombie-embroiled apocalypse.
The end of the world isn’t all that bad – The Experience Machine will fulfil
your every desire (and some you hadn’t considered). A sex bot dares to dream of
freedom in Dinner with Flexi. But mind what you eat, because The Photons in the
Cheese Are Lost. Don’t fret though: The Cryo Killer guarantees that your death
will be painless, or your money back when you’re thawed. Unless, that is,
you’re The Man with Two Legs.
Plug into Obsidian
Worlds for these and other immersive stories, including the hilarious
Time-Traveling Chicken Sexer. Your brain will never be the same again.
EXCERPT:
from Your Averaged Joe):
“Sorry, this is a bit overwhelming. Let me introduce
myself.” Then all three men spoke in unison, extending their hands, “I’m
Thursday.” They each chewed a piece of gum, their masticating movements
simultaneous.
Joe eyed the identical hands. Long, frosty fingers. Whitest
skin. He shook hands with each. Their grips were firm. All three.
Thursday continued, “This is the Chamber.” He waved his arm
around the room proudly. Joe considered the space. The rows of beds seemed to
stretch forever. He couldn’t see the end of the room. And no pillars. Nothing
to support the pink ceiling that extended in all directions. Joe scrunched his
feet at the enormity of the Chamber, and the floor squeezed between his toes.
But the floor wasn’t smooth – it was … hairy? He glanced down, and yup, fine
dark hairs covered its surface. It was like standing on a forearm. Goose bumps
erupted along his arms, down his legs, Joe shifted his weight to his heels,
trying to avoid the hairs from scratching between his toes. And as the goose
bumps spread across his back, down his chest, the ground beneath his feet
changed. Between the silky black hairs, the fleshy floor lumped in places.
Lumps the size of fists. Bumps, goose bumps. On the ground. He shivered.
Trying not to think about it, and resisting the urge to
jump, to get his feet anywhere but on the fleshy floor, he stared at the beds.
Each held a single occupant, each with brown hair, each wearing the same pale
blue nightgown he was wearing. Joe looked to the bed beside his, and his heart
stopped.
The man in the bed was him.
