Welcome!

Thanks for visiting! Here you will find all the stories that I post on Reddit, in a more normal, easy to read format. I also will occasionally post a short story, or a snippit of a story I’m working on, that doesn’t fit my normal r/talesfromtechsupport subject (usually gaming related). Enjoy!…

Technopathic Technical Support

Tank: I need heals! Healer: CHAIN CELESTIAL HEALING!!! Hail the mighty Agent Sinzan. Selben: More DPS! More DPS! Raid: We are! With a flick of a tail from the dragon, everyone was dead. Selben let out a sigh as his lifeless digital body fell to the ground. Tank: We trying again? Healer: I’m tired!!! Selben looked…

Of Sheep and Machine

Selben entered the office one cold, winter morning, after some much-appreciated surprise time off. He was greeted by the office assistant Ditzy.

The Missing Laptops

Selben and Soda had gotten a two-month contract working on some IT projects at a company through an old contact of Soda’s. Soda was locked away slaving away as a code monkey. Selben could still chat with him during breaks, but otherwise was mostly on his own. He spent his…

IT Newbie and the Full Lotus

The last empty box was disposed of. The cool morning air helped to keep Selben from sweating much, but he still looked bedraggled from the effort of bringing 40+ computer boxes out to the dumpster. Back inside, he slumped back down in his chair intent on returning to his normal…

Writing Prompt: Unnamed LitRPG

This story was based on a writing prompt found here. The forest of Evil Haunted Darkness came into focus as the robed, frail-looking elf male sat up. Castfate had been lying by a campfire near two other companions. One was another elf, but unlike Castfate, wore dark leather clothing and…
