Killswitch, page 29
Rin shook her head. “That would make us more mysterious. Then we’d have paparazzi and chancers hanging out at the front door, bothering the customers.”
I’d been flooded with offers to upload my experiences, emotions and all, for a hefty fee but I’d refused. I had no desire to relive those moments again. It had taken months of PTSD counseling to stop the nightmares. I also declined requests for interviews and bids to have me star in documentaries, miniseries and big-budget Immersion epics, either recreating my adventures or starring in new ones.
“It’ll die down eventually,” I said. “It’s the Immersion. Everything gets old.”
“Like this place,” Rin said, quirking her lips. “Beautifully ancient. And here to stay.”
“Like Gigi,” I said, grinning.

About the Author
J.R. Waterbear is the pen name of authors John Pulver and Robert Jablon. Both hail from Southern California and have hiked, kayaked, scuba-dived and surfed their way from Alaska to Mexico which influenced some scenes in Killswitch.
Pulver's fiction has appeared in several publications, and he is the host of The Natural Muse, a group that connects authors with the joy and inspiration of writing from nature.
Jablon is a former journalist for The Associated Press who recently retired to the south of France.
Killswitch deals with issues that have long fascinated the authors: alienation; the tension between morality and survival, and the struggle to achieve self-discovery, especially in a conformist, social media-driven culture.
