The Game of Heart and Light

by Scott Fitzgerald Gray

A TALE OF THE ENDLANDS -- A KINDLE-SINGLE SHORT STORY

In a necropolis of white marble and black jade, a young woman seeks an escape from endless summer and the sorrow of a hundred lovers lost. But even as she struggles to break free of the bonds of her dreams, she discovers the deeper nightmare that lurks within...

She is walking upon the moss green, fingers tracing the bright stone of curving walls when the air splits and splinters, and the Golden Prince is there. She knows him as she knows them all in the instant of seeing. Remembering suddenly the past and present as it unfolds. Remembering the aura of his shimmering robes, the bright eyes of grey, the flowing hair like the light of last sunset, his hand reaching for hers.

About the author

Scott Fitzgerald Gray is a specially constructed biogenetic simulacrum built around an array of experimental consciousness-sharing techniques — a product of the finest minds of Canadian science until the grant money ran out. Accidentally set loose during an unauthorized midnight rave at the lab, the S.F. Gray entity is currently at large amongst an unsuspecting populace, where his work as an author, screenwriter, editor, RPG designer, and story editor for feature film keeps him off the streets.
