Conrad is an office techie long past obsolescence who spends his days at work waiting for the axe to fall. His refuge at night is his cool, dusty house teeming with memories and his dreams-dreams of another world, an empire peopled by robber knights, kidnapped ladies, and a sinister warrior brotherhood. A world where he rides alongside the likes of Peregrina the lady bandit, the Countess of Mittelsbach, and the notorious Flik-Flak. A world, best of all, where it is Conrad's task, and his alone, to rescue the Countess and save the Three Treasures. Bouncing back and forth between the two realms, it's no wonder Conrad gets a little addled, and no surprise that the dream empire begins to bleed into waking world. (A novella.)
