"The Life In The Machine"

The story of a computer programmer who produces a video game that ends up taking on a life of its own. When his virtual creations form a civilization and begin worshiping him as their deity, things get heavy.

Sometimes, the old addages turn out to be more true than one could ever expect, and the Latin phrase "Caveat Emptor" - buyer beware" - becomes more crucial than ever.

God's Attic:

Something about the shop was unsettling; even frightening. Perhaps it was the dark, or the smell, but it seemed to Toby that this was a dark place. Maybe even a dangerous one.
