I am posting from my current WIP, Tiamat's Nest. In previous posts last month, I introduced Charles and his computer simulation. Here, a second strand of the story is unwinding. Three online gamers, Tin Man, Pink Marie, and Moonshadow, have had their immersive avatars captured by the mysterious Samurai.
=====
Tin Man faced not the half-expected, unimaginable nightmares, but the expressionless mask of a Samurai warrior.
"What?" In speaking, Tin Man found that his avatar was once more under his control. He looked around, recognizing the cavernous, rain-spattered glass vaults.
The Samurai seemed unfazed by the inane utterance. "Seems I need to set better fences," he muttered.

I just read all the excerpts you posted of Tiamat's Nest and I'm intrigued to find out more. It sounds like a great story. :)
Promising set up, definitely makes me want to keep reading! Great six!
Tiamat's Nest sounds cooler every time I see an excerpt. I love cyberpunk. When is this going to be out in the world?
What an interesting premise and six. Definitely pulled me in. I always like when work plays with avatars.
Very clever flash story!
Happy 2013!
I like the "better fences" line of dialog. :) Interesting setup! The story sounds like the kind of thing I enjoy reading. Good luck!
Glad you liked it, DasNuk.
Veronica, thanks.
Shell, it's going to take a while yet. I'm still working on the first draft. I'm a bit nervous about it, to be honest, because I'm treading on uncertain ground here and I know nothing about cyberpunk compared to many folks out there.
J.M. lots of avatars here, in all shapes and sizes :)
Charmaine, it feels like it could almost stand on it's own as flash, doesn't it?
Jax, I liked that line too :)
Oooh, a mysterious tyrannical hacker - way cool. Fun six, Botanist. :)
