HTTP Error 502

by Mark Tompkins

Jason is pursued by a mysterious man dressed in black who hands him a slip of paper and leaves without a word. What is written on that paper changes Jason’s life forever and plunges him on a journey to another dimension where strange creatures capture and imprison him. Surrounded by surreal monsters chained to the walls, he fights to understand what has happened to him. That understanding is beyond his comprehension and soon the prisoners are collected from the dark dungeon and led to their fate, but it is not what, or where, Jason would have ever imagined.

'HTTP Error 502' is a short story that left me thinking of the possibility that I could, one day, be auctioned off for nefarious reasons. Creepy concept. Mark has a way of bringing his stories to life and putting me 'in' the story. A good short read to add to your tbr list.
