    About this ebook

    Episode 13: Fight. Stacey makes his stand and receives a reward.

    From Plato's Cave to The Matrix, philosophers and scientists and dreamers have questioned the very nature of reality. Scientists today are actually running multi-million dollar experiments to discover hints on whether or not we are living in a computer simulation. To date, the program obfuscates the results, every time.

    The world may not be exactly what it seems. There is no body. Data is data.

      The great serpent thrashed its head to the soil again, attempting to annihilate the profane creature that clung just beneath its jaws with a sickening determination to do the god harm. Again, the great serpent failed in its attempt at freedom. The vermin would not release its throttling grasp. Stupid mouse, no, plump rat! Ah, but even its foul touch was profane, the serpent could not stand being touched, and the vermin seemed to be locked in a death grip.

      The main obstacle to the serpent’s freedom, aside from the profane creature itself, was the fact that it had pursued the infuriating creature around the sacred fruit tree, more than a few times, and thus could not bring its powerful constricting body to bear. In its efforts to free itself from the infuriating rodent, its entire body had come up thrashing about the sacred tree, and many coils were now tangled throughout the branches of the tree, and fruit was knocked free, smashed, and many of the sacred branches were snapped and damaged. If the serpent continued in the same fashion, it would destroy its own sacred vessel, the very instrument that produced its life-giving meat.
