Virtual reality developed a taste for blood

The annual school play is about to broadcast its live VR production across the nation. But it’s not the cheesy lines or epic boss fight that has Seth Wright worried. Somewhere in the virtual reality algorithm something sinister has taken root jeopardizing lives of the cast and crew. Our reluctant hero has to fight for survival against savage dogs, a dragon, and an evil wizard. Will Seth and his crew survive to perform another day? Or will this be "game over"?

The Game: Beta Testing is a non-romantic dark fantasy short story in the Fractured Memories series.
