Kimball is a two-time loser. A failed student and e-sports gamer. He's overweight, unlucky, unloved, and serving a week's community service for a bungled robbery.
Kimball's life is not his own. His waking life is in the toilet, his dreams are even worse. Some are terrifying, whilst others leave him altered, programmed with knowledge he didn't possess beforehand, and compelled to commit crimes against his will and for reasons unknown.
Someone or something is using him as a puppet, but what is the play, and who is the puppeteer?
Once upon a time, when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth and TV was mostly black & white, a baby boy was born to Irish immigrant parents living in Birmingham in the UK.
He grew up, physically, if not in other ways.
During his youth, he was exposed to 1970s and 1980s TV, Progressive Rock music, Sci-Fi & Fantasy books and Star Wars movies. He spent entirely too much time playing Warhammer, Dungeons & Dragons and mucking about with Sinclair home computers before finally deciding it was time to earn a living in IT.
The result of this bizarre experiment was a vaguely adult male who has been married twice (and is still holding his current wife captive, but her tunnelling skills are improving) is older than he's happy with and who still plays Warhammer, still works in IT and who watches far too many superhero films.
He has recently realised that his head is too full of stories and that he needs to let some of them escape.
Since he appears to have a reasonable command of English and He can spel good, he thought he might have a go at writing some of them down.
