Wow! this is one hell of a creative novella and i want more from this writer! This story creates in my mind a Lovecraftian/Clive barker feel to it. A skilled writer who I am sure will have alot to offer to this genre of writing who as been writing crime novels before this. This was $1 in kindle store and well worth the price does not take long to read, one sitting. Highly recommend it if you like it leave me comment on the review.An excerpts from the story."Do you know what wormwood is?" "You mean the prison?" Cady asked, puzzled. "No, the herb." "Never heard of it." "Wormwood is the core ingredient of absinthe." Cady shrugged. "Absinthe used to be all the rage until it was found to be a poisonous hallucinogen. The drink is outlawed in the States and watered down in Europe." "All because of its wormwood content?"Before the prison, this place used to be a scrub of wormwood." "The prison has been here over a hundred years." "Yes, and the wormwood has never stopped growing. We're forever having to do construction work to prevent the foundation from collapsing"If we can get the Rift under control, it could be the greatest virtual reality game the world has ever seen. Imagine it, you get to go inside someone else's reality and go head-to-head with it. Nintendo, Sega, Microsoft, they would be history."
