Those of you who have known me for a while will remember the short fantasy novella I wrote way back in high school, NeverJack. I’ve been meaning to post it in its entirety here one of these days. That’s today.
I was going to post it in installments, but then I realized that to post them one-two-three-four-five would make the epilogue appear at the top of the page here, since weblogs are in reverse order. Which seemed a little silly. So, well, I’m posting a link to a microsite instead.
I hope you like the story I haven’t changed this version much at all. There is another version, a script version, which is three times longer, much more adult and much darker at the end. I might post that too one of these days, just for comparison’s sake.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.
Read “NeverJack.”
