John Smith traveled through a wormhole and encountered cybernetic alien lifeforms in another galaxy.
"Oh John, I think I'm in love with you," said Vitaza, his overnight first contact robotic fling he met at a galactic space station's social club, now cuddling with him in a bed.
The next day, he decided to join a group of space mercenaries that Vitaza had spoken of to fight off giant parasitic wasp-like creatures that threatened the cybernetic aliens' entire solar system.
The battles' went on for weeks.'
While on a much-deserved leave, he lay next to Vitaza on the sand nearby the seaside underneath the warm and gentle binary star system's light on a paradise planet to celebrate their victory against the wasps-like creatures.
"Wake up, Mr. Smith."
"What? Where am I?"
"Your at the hospital, sir," answered a nurse.
"But how did I …"
"Mr. Smith, I'm here with Dr. Jane Simsky, a psychologist."
"Hello, Mr. Smith, this is your twentieth time within two months of being admitted due to work-related accidents," said Dr. Simsky.
"Yes, it seems I'm prone to injuries." John looked away.
"I see in your medical records that you've received neural implants, Mr. Smith."
"Yes, that's correct, last year. And, please call me John."
"Excellent … John. They help to provide a healthier alternative to painkillers or anesthesia, but …"
"But what, Doctor?"
"I'm afraid you might have VIADS."
"What's that?"
"Virtual Immersion Addiction Syndrome."
"Nonsense!"
"Hear me out, John. I know it's costly to subscribe to Virtual Getaways and your workers' comp plan offers them for free when you undergo surgery …"

Knight and Smith
Secrets once thought lost are coming to light... Orin, a young thief turned mercenary, is returning to his home for the first time in four years. Orin wants nothing more than to reconnect with his family and settle down in the city he loves, but fate is fickle and has another destiny in mind for the swordsman. Now bound to the Princess of the Realm in ways he doesn't fully understand, Orin finds himself thrust into the world of Nobility, where no one can be truly trusted and his friends are few and far between. To ensure his survival, and that of the entire Kingdom, Orin must learn to harness the power of a Knight and work with the Princess Elora to protect those they both love, all while dealing with psychotic Knights, a mad King and Elora's own protectors. Well, if nothing else, I'm sure it will be an adventure. This is one of the ideas I've been working on for a while and wanted to see how far I can go with it. There's nothing really original here, just something fun I wanted to explore a bit more. Chapters will be posted once a week on Sundays at five pm GMT. Thank you for reading and I hope that you enjoy Knight and Smith!
