Reverie Ride (Short Fiction)

Hey Guys!

I finally got around to upload some of my short fiction to my site.

The latest one is called “Reverie Ride”—it is about a mechanic with a vivid imagination (TW: death, gore, horror).

This story was actually an assignment for uni with a few guidelines:

  • Write a story inspired by “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”, where the main character escapes into fantasy.
  • Include three fantasy segments and a recurring motif throughout them.

You can read this one and a few other short stories here: forrai-zoltan.github.io/writing/short_fiction

Hope you enjoy my messy art. ^^

 

Excerpt from the story:

As the last bit of air was sucked out of the airlock, the outer hatch opened up before him. With a strong push of his feet, he escaped the artificial gravity of the spaceship’s flooring, and he gracefully glided out of the spacecraft. Now he was outside, as outside as any man can be. Swimming in the great ocean of nothingness. The only thing keeping him from flying into the mouth of emptiness — from being entirely enveloped by boundless blackness — was the tether supplying him with oxygen and keeping him attached to the spaceship. It was the umbilical cord between an unborn child and its mother. It was the only thing keeping him alive.
