The Game
Nothing much happened in the Void before Mr Goddard built that call center, folks were somewhat conservative in these parts and the idea of an entrepreneur creating thousands of virtual worlds that local people could populate with ideal, terrible or idyllic versions of themselves, certainly wasn’t universally popular.
Popular or not, the virtual reality concept had caught on in the capital and Emily for one was delighted that Heaven was not the only city that would benefit from progress. Mr Goddard was putting her sleepy hamlet of Dragons’ Blood on the map once and for all, for the call center was the technological hub, the control room that would allow the thousands of worlds to exist independently of each other and yet in a codependent way. Emily, yes Emily, was going to be interviewed by Mrs Goddard Chairwoman and Executive Director of Virtual Worlds Inc, for the post of twelfth floor manager. She really wanted the job in so many ways and knew she should be preparing for her interview tomorrow. Emily tried to convince herself that being hooked up with her mind to one of the Virtual Worlds’ consoles was the best preparation she could do, but really she knew she was avoiding her anxiety.
There were already numerous Virtual World Inc software versions and hand held computer hubs available, throughout the planet, it was just that the call center would centralize every program, bring disparate parts together and realize numerous concepts and layers of reality. Or to put it another way the call center would create multiverses and parallel realities, for the first time every choice you could possibly make would be realized

Nicole and Alfred watched from their flimsy hideout behind some bush-like plants too terrified to move, barely breathing, in dread of being discovered. The immediate land around them was full of people, or demons, or other creatures they really weren’t sure which it was, what they knew was they were over eight million years from home!
A central figure, masked and in a black cape, seemed to begin to occupy the central ground, the focus of attention from all present. His voice boomed out and sounded like some tortured chant, but Nicole was unable to recognize anything that was being said...The hundreds or even thousands of cloaked Beings present seemed to understand perfectly, as they responded to the central figure in a cacophony of demonic sound that seemed to dominate the planet and block out the sun with each twisted note.
