The Wards
Published as a serial novella in DarkFuse online magazine.
Elizabeth doesn’t feel in control of her own life, which is probably why she enjoys the life-simulation game The Wards so much. In a dark room, she stares at a monitor watching a miserable wretch. It’s one of her creations, a woman tormented beyond sanity’s threshold. Elizabeth feels no responsibility, no remorse, because she think it’s just a game, without real consequences.
But The Wards is much more than just a game.
Elizabeth has created a twisted new world filled with broken beings and she is now trapped there and must find a way to escape before her creations realize that she, their cruel god, walks among them.

Serial novella that I started, and finally caught up with. Loved the premise of this! Elizabeth was looking for something "outside" of her trophy wife status... In today's age of computer technology, she discovered a site where she could build an "outside life" of her own design--without ever having to leave her computer.
Unfortunately, this site may have had too much of a life of its own given to it....
Great, suspenseful tale by Alan Ryker. Highly recommended!

Oh this one was my favourite from Alan Ryker, I read it with full satisfaction. The novella came out to me with total surprise...
The its a novella which contain less pages to read but elements the story provided enough to worth your time, as I can say I enjoyed it thoroughly...
Elizabeth a good looking Housewife lived with her husband David was bored to be a normal leading life style. She in her house in the computer of her own played a game, a virtual another life game which she loved very much. In that game she build her own version of virtual world, in where she could create, do or whatever she wants with her characters. But she didn't know at the time while she was playing her virtual someday she might need to consider if she really wants to play that game to entertain herself but back than maybe it will be too late for her...
5 out of 5 again for Alan Ryker...
