Lost in a Dream

By: R. E. Fury

Narrated by: Zura Johnson

For most people, sleeping is an obstacle; something to get out of the way so they can get back to their day. For others, it’s an escape to nothing; a blissful break from the wears of life.

It’s the opposite for me.

I live so that I can dream. I trudge through work so that I can go home and close my eyes, awakening in the real world - one where dreams really do come true. A place where I can fight a king instead of my ever-disappointed boss, where I’m a warrior instead of a glorified telemarketer. A place where I matter.

Tigers instead of taxes. Monsters instead of men with too much power.

Reality is just the word we came up with to accept a boring life; a birthing place for grander ideas we so desperately wish could come true.

I choose to live in a world where they do.

Lost in a Dream is an adult fiction in the vein of Ready Player One, but with fantasy elements in place of sci-fi. It is a bold and unique novel that has something for you to love whether you are an avid fan of literary fiction, fantasy, light romance, or GameLit.
