Virtual Reality Fiction

Andy Tremain has a terrifying ability. Using virtual reality, he can create monsters from his unconscious mind. And he's obsessed with dinosaurs. A psychiatrist in the United States promises a cure, but when Andy and his brother and sister realise they are prisoners rather than guests in Dr Kaplan's luxurious desert complex, Andy's dream becomes a nightmare. When his powers change and reality itself begins to shift and tear, Andy is so dangerous that society clearly cannot afford to let him live.

Refresh is an explosive, powerful short story about a near-future dystopia in which citizens can commodify every waking moment of their lives with computer-generated augmented reality. But this ubiquitous, game-changing technology can create dangerous consequences, especially for society’s most vulnerable people.

Mark is a reclusive dominant who confines his sexual interests strictly to the online world. On his routine afternoon ferry ride, he meets a woman who rouses the master in him, and the line snaps between the virtual and real worlds. She begs for him to take her over, and bring them both fulfillment and healing. He wants to refuse her but he finds himself agreeing to spend one day with her. It is a mistake, because the anger he holds inside is fully capable of destroying a soul as rare and beautiful as Nicole's. But no master, not even one as strong and disciplined as Mark, can resist the offer of a submissive who wants only one thing - to be his forever.
