Stories

Inspired by one of the MetAddicts, this "story" is a collection of in-MetaVerse interviews with characters chosen by readers.

A refuge can be a place, or a person. Sometimes, it's both. Just like scars. We can carry them on the outside, or on the inside. Sometimes, it's both. Wiley Burch is a cowboy on the run. He never bargained for being someone's target, but it appears his luck has run out... or has it?

Blake has a wish. He wants someone for himself. Someone who sees him... really sees him. Living his life in the background was understandable; at least he'd forever told himself so. But, he was changing. His entire family was living their fairy tale lives. Didn't he deserve a chance to do the same?

It's two days before Christmas, and things aren't going to plan. Rory has been boxed in to a trying situation, and the vicious weather only makes it worse. Can he survive both the storm and the homophobic Clint?

Carl gets call from his ex talking him into a night out with friends to 'heal the rift between them'.

There are no friends attending except Carl's brother and boyfriend. Carl smells a set up, however, there is a truly delicious waiter.

Please note - this is a true story and only names (and in some case sexes) have been changed to protect identities.

The first Christmas in six years without the world being at war; there is hope, there is remembrance, and there is uncertainty.

The store's family-feel is reinforced weekly with the publication of "Store Chat," but it takes effort. So does social justice. The Elevator Captain, the Editor, the Columnist, an Elevator Operator and her young son all strive for the renewed potential of Christmas in peacetime.

We all hurt. It seems the only cure is being willing to see things through the eyes of others.

The store's display department is incredibly busy. One young man's strained relationship with his boss is complicated by the arrival of an outsider from Hollywood, and a young woman he meets by chance.

Duncan never saw it coming... any of it. His friends didn't understand. They meant well, but it was over, and there was no going back. He wouldn't be fooled again.

Angela is stuck. It's Christmas Eve and she and her young daughter have to be in town for an unpleasant task. After dinner they take a stroll through the holiday streets and discover something pretty amazing.

MetaEndings is the 7th book (of 8) of the MetaWolf series; a polarizing, sexist, homophobic and twisted story in the M/M wolf shifter genre. Treachery reaches a new level, vampires employ a new level of trickery, the US Army intervenes and cancer threatens to kill all wolf shifters; making a Meta trip on his power and failings alike. It is a 'straight' continuation of MetaProphecies and requires the knowledge of the first 6 MetaBooks and the MetaPrompts until #72 to be appreciated.
