Synopsis: Sometimes even a geek can become a hero.

Dennis and his friends have been LARPing (Live Action Role Playing) since high school. Now, in his 20s, Dennis is seriously considering giving up LARPing for good. He's tired of dealing with his overzealous friend Mark; he's tired of his older brother Brad's constant put-downs; and he's tired of the fact that he doesn't have a girlfriend.

Check that.

Not a girlfriend, but the girlfriend. Alyssa--the one woman he's been pining over for years.

Dennis and his fellow LARPers have never been considered cool, in their small island community of Verona, located off the coast of Washington State.

But all of that is about to change . . .

While Dennis and his friends are attending a big LARP tournament on the mainland, a rogue terrorist group of Mongolians in medieval garb, led by an American madman, invade Verona and take its citizens hostage--including their families and friends.

When the LARPers find out what's happening in their home-town, they do what any dedicated LARPer would do: they put on their armor, strap on their swords, and fight their way home--LARP-style!

Synopsis: On hot summer day in the town of Circumstance, my brother Levi and I were supposed to move an antique mirror for the Sheppards, owners of the antique store. There was a strange man in a maroon colored suit in the store that day. I tried not to eavesdrop while Mr. Sheppard was doing one of those Rune readings for the stranger; my mom would say that was rude.

It was rumored the old mirror was magic, yet Levi and I promised to be careful. Mrs. Sheppard said it was going into her mirror collection. “We watched helplessly as the cracking continued until the frame gave up and let the mirror pieces go that it had so bravely held together. Levi and I exchanged a look of horror. We didn’t want to say it out loud, but we knew we were in for Seven Years Bad Luck, Starting Today!”

Synopsis: Being a teenager is tough enough, but try it when you have schizophrenia and psychic abilities that make all of your imaginary friends real...

The odds are against Mouch—he’s locked up in Talsom Mental Asylum; his only friends are a sock puppet and his shadow. Worst of all, he suffers from amnesia; his earliest memory is of being found alone in a mall wearing nothing but a pair of polka-dotted boxer shorts, a pair of fluffy white bunny slippers, and a hat made from a newspaper.… and covered in a generous amount of blood. When an elderly gentleman visits him and reveals that Mouch is not crazy but is actually a psychic, Mouch does what any rational person would do—he runs for the door. Once outside of Talsom, Mouch soon finds himself thrust into a battle against a sinister movement of dark psychics who threaten to destroy the entire psychic community.
