An earlier version made the ONC 2025 Long List. This is the longer, revised version for the Wattys.    Scott an insecure idealistic young man gets his girlfriend Zelda new virtual reality goggles that control one's senses and thoughts.  The complete immersion in the MMORPG adventure cannot be distinguished from reality and raises the question will their love survive virtual realities with dream lovers and none of the inhibitions of actual reality.  An exploration of ideas on love, sexuality, reality and the impact of future mind-altering technologies. Hopefully thought provoking and entertaining.

[WATTYS WINNER 2022] What's it like to have everything you ever wanted? To be utterly, ridiculously, completely HAPPY? Pretty worrying, actually. *** In this Watty Winning (!!) standalone sequel to "All Good Things", we visit Alice, her family and friends at the All Good Things cafe. A lot has changed in 5 years. Her marriage is back on track and steamier than ever... at least when there isn't a kid within earshot. Fortunately, the youngest is in the smelly grip of puberty himself and just wants to be alone. Their daughter, the entrepreneurial prodigy, went off to university only to return disillusioned by life, love and Kierkegaard. Good thing the cafe is still afloat... just about. It's hard to make ends meet when you're trying to change the world, one plant-based latte at a time! Just as things are starting to look a little dire, Alice becomes an unwitting TikTok sensation and kids all over the city start copying her moves. Now, a corporate chain wants a piece of the action and Alice will have to decide whether she can stomach a return to the soul-suck of corporate life in order to keep her dream alive. [[70,000 words]]

A suicidal nerd crashes into a hot Italian tourist while, ironically, running for his life. Romance and complicated feelings ensue. *** Eric is stuck in a life he hates: he is lonely, his job is boring and unfulfilling, the best thing he has to look forward to is retirement. Except he's only twenty-five, and he just can't keep going like this until then. The only logical thing to do is to kill himself. Except he decided that if he's going to die soon, he might as well enjoy himself a little in the meantime, so he makes a bucketlist and gives himself twenty days to work through it. It turns out life is a lot more interesting when you have nothing to lose, and between shootouts, muggings, revenge, and more travel than he's done in his lifetime, he meets a man who sees him for who he is, and seems to like what he sees. Content warnings: Suicidal ideation and planning. #ONC2025 Prompt 110: 20 days of freedom.
