Synopsis
"When a word game turns deadly, how do you fight it?" Who do you go to for help? Martin must answer these questions before he becomes the next victim of an insidious plot.
In a single day Martin's simple life as a business executive is turned upside down, because of his fascination with word games. And he is not the only one in danger.
Review
First of all, lets all congratulate me for doing a Sage's Blog Tour review on a short story at the same time that I [attempted] my daily short story read marathon. By the way, talk about FAIL. But I will continue to try.
Now that's off my chest, lets get with the review, shall we?
Talk about an AWESOME short story! This story grabbed me from the start with it's unique storyline. Who knew that playing a simple online word game could be so freaky!? Martin's life appears to revolve around technology, especially an online game that slowly seems to be dictating his life. It doesn't take Martin too long to realize that the random player in his favorite online word game may not be so random after all.
If you want a quick story that's going to freak you out - look no further than this one!
