Breaking the Toy

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A secretive cabal called “The Order of the Stump” has been absorbing wealth, controlling the news, and positioning itself as the gatekeepers of history. But their success has left them bored. So, they’ve decided it’s in the best interest of humanity that everyone on the planet dies.

However, their diabolical plan did not account for Gob, the misshapen misanthrope who accidentally kills the doomsday cult’s most important scientist.

Can a walrus shaped boy with a death-wish stop the wealthiest, most powerful organization in history from annihilating the world and everyone on it?

Probably not.

But he’s going to try anyway. Because the fighting is the fun part. And death isn’t the end.

Gob’s attention quickly shifted to a man in the middle of the group that stood almost a foot taller than those around him. The tall man had ice-colored eyes, perfect hair, and a gravitational pull that kept a quintet of lesser Brians in orbit, revolving around him like sycophantic moons.

Through the windows, Gob observed the blazing beasts crash furiously into walls, furniture, curtains, and tapestries. Everything they touched, they set on fire. With the smoky aroma of charred meat roiling out from the hissing, popping flames, Gob leaned on his sword and reflected on the repugnant, delicious-smelling, thing he’d done.

PUBLISHER NOTE: There are two settings in this story. The paper back uses special fonts in the chapter titles that denote each setting. This makes the story easier to follow. The ebook version does not allow special fonts, so the two settings may be confusing for some readers.
