GOLGOTHA

​Sometimes the only choice
is the most terrifying one to make
"A tightly written, fast paced, short,
that quickly convinced me
​to read Gameland."

~​Goodreads reviewer
Click above for sample
Locked inside his research lab, Dr. Eugene Halliwell is about to begin the most important experiment of his life, a test of a vaccine that will counteract a new militarized technology: Reanimation. But to be sure it works, he’ll first need to infect himself with the government’s evil creation. With humanity's very existence at risk, he can't fail.

Later, at a high-level security council briefing for the President of the United States, a man known as the “Colonel” recounts the harrowing aftermath of Halliwell's experiment. But was the test a success or a failure? I suppose that depends on who you ask.

Golgotha is a standalone novelette. First released in the collection Shorting the Undead and Other Horrors: A Menagerie of Macabre Mini-Fiction, this novelette was the inspiration for the epic cyberpunk thriller series GAMELAND.

I recommend reading this story before finishing Episode Five of Season One, Prometheus Wept.
