Working on the 4th Holocade story...

I’ve been distracted by the sudden news of the Tumblr “adult content purge” so I’m running slow on this one, but I have some work done on Holocade: Emulated. Here’s a fairly unedited and raw bit of the start:

Haley flickered into existence in the middle of a vast, black expanse and wobbled back and forth, clutching her spinning head, her fingers pushed through her blonde hair, for a moment.

Her body seemed to move a little out of sync with her mind as if there was a delay between when she intended to move and what her arms or legs actually caught up to that thought. Even her breathing, the blinking of her eyes, seemed to catch, slow down, and speed up randomly.

“I feel… so fuzzy… What- What’s going on?” she said, wondering what exactly her voice was echoing off of in the apparently empty space. “This isn’t the character select screen… Where am I?”

“Hold tight,” a voice boomed around her. “I have to make a few adjustments to fine tune you.”

“O-okay…” she said. Her voice seeming to waver like a radio signal going in and out.

She tried to say calm while the emptiness around her shifted between a few different dark hues. Then she watched while her arms grew long and thin, her legs joined them, and they all snapped back to normal incredibly fast.

“Thi-this is really weird,” she said, happy that at least her voice was working right again. “Is something wrong with the holocade?”

“You might say that,” the booming voice replied.

She shivered, wondering for a moment why she’d been programmed to feel cold and why the world around her would ever be cold.

“Probably so the pervs can get off on watching my nipples get hard and my skin get covered in goosebumps,” she thought.

She crossed her arms rubbed her shoulders trying to fight against the chill that surrounded her. When she looked down, she saw her body shimmer and wave as if it were a reflection on unsteady water.

Still writing it and we’ll see how quickly I can get it done, considering the current issues with the loss of my queue of posts and the possible purge of nsfw blogs here on Tumblr. It will be on Smashwords and Amazon when it is complete. If I vanish from here, watch for it there.

Here’s a little preview of the cover as well:
