Third book of the Egos series, read the other two (Experiment A and Divided) first!

"We all have our demons," Felix murmured sagely as he glanced down at Jack's still body. "And sometimes they win." "I won't let them." Mark protested fiercely, his eyes burning with determination. "Who says any of us let them?" Felix countered, his expression unreadable as he looked at Mark. Mark didn't answer as he flopped onto his bed, wishing he could close his eyes and escape the nightmare he was trapped in. But this wasn't a nightmare. This was real life, and he would have to learn how to deal with the inner demons.

"All of the egos I made in my videos....they're all real." Jack murmured in disbelief as he scanned the crowd of look-alikes, recognizing them instantly by their attire. "Chase," "In the flesh!" The snapback hat wearing clone cheered. "Marvin," "The one and only." The magician stated with a wink. "Robbie," "Me!" The zombie shouted excitedly. "Jameson," The mute ego nodded politely in acknowledgement with a grin on his face. "Jackaboy-Man," "Here to save the day!" The hero exclaimed. "Schneeplestien." "Ve're all here." The German doctor assured him. "But...none of you guys can be real. I made you all up for fun." Jack stated as he shook his head. "Look, we'll go more into detail later. Right now we need to find Anti and Dark before they figure out how to take over this dimension." Marvin interjected impatiently. "You said something about Dark." Mark spoke up after hearing the name. "Where there's an alternate version of Sean, there's an alternate version of you." Jackaboy-Man chimed in helpfully. "Why?" Mark frowned in confusion. "Oh for fucks sake, let's go already!" Chase snapped in irritation, clearly tired of standing around. "At least tell us how you got here." Amy cut in. "Using this, now go back inside while we take care of these motherfuckers." Marvin replied as he waved a seemingly normal wand in his hand. Before Amy, Mark, Signe, or Jack could open their mouths to ask more questions, Schneep and the others ran off in the direction Anti and Dark seemed to be heading.

Sequel to Experiment A, enjoy!

Broken things can always be fixed. Even broken people.

It's the festive season, and everybody is out traveling to go see family to celebrate Christmas. Except Mark. Since there's been some weather complications that have canceled all flights out of LA, he's home bound. But, that doesn't mean he's alone

Sequel to Puppeteer

"He's a Shadower!" The village leader exclaimed, examining the small child. It was a baby boy with short black hair. The mark of a Shadower. "Please, leave him alone!" The mother pleaded desperately. "He may have dark hair, but he has a light heart!" The boy's father protested. "You have no way of knowing." The village leader shook his head sadly as he took the child away.

"I think the fans are excited." Signe told Sean with a smirk. Even though they were both backstage, they could clearly hear the fans screaming in front of the stage in either excitement or impatience. Probably both. "Ready to go?" A security guard asked Sean. Sean nodded eagerly, taking a deep breath as someone from the tech booth introduced Sean, the voice reverberating throughout the spacious room as his fans quieted down. "Break a leg." Signe reassuringly squeezed his hand as he took a step towards the stage. That was when the lights went out.

"C'mon Sean, you gotta keep up!" Signe giggled as she ran down the wooden boardwalk. Sean stumbled after her as fast as he could, laughing as well. "I'm a zombie, I can only go so fast!" Sean panted, running out of breath. Even when he was human he was out of shape. I guess not all things have changed, Jack thought in wry amusement. Suddenly two black armored people burst out of one of the abandoned shops and grabbed Signe, locking her in a cage before taking her away from him. "No!" Sean cried as he tried to chase after her. He couldn't lose her. Not again. Never again. "Welcome to Rundead." A man in a business suit stepped in front of him, blocking him from Signe. He had heard all about the worldwide zombie game show, but he never thought he would have to be involved. "Why would you want me?" Sean demanded, his sapphire blue eyes narrowed in anger. "Because it's survival of the fittest in this game." The man chuckled before knocking Sean out.
