Returns in June

So, I thank you for your patience, gentle reader.  I hope you can understand that these are troubled times, and that I've been working long hours and have been super busy at work.  My last shift I did a couple of thousand dollars in sales over my goal...that's a lot.  But, things are starting to settle down inside me now, and soon I shall get going once again on this novel.  It might not be the beginning of June, but it could be.  New chapters will definitely arrive in June.  So, thanks for reading.

Another Note from the Author

Hey, so I've been working a lot of hours and have little time for writing these days.  The blog will take a little break and resume in a couple of weeks.  Apologies for the delays.  Thanks for your patience.

A Note

Hey guys, just a little note to say that as of tomorrow I return to my RL essential job, so we'll be dropping back to Tuesday chapters only, and there's a pretty good chance there will not be a new chapter this Tuesday, but I will try.  Watch this space.  Be safe, kids.

Chapter Sixty-One: How Does the Velocity Field Work?

Chapter Sixty-One

How Does the Velocity Field Work?

That’s an excellent question, and the answer is I don’t know.  The Velocity Field appears to be some sort of extra-dimensional bubble that protects one from the normal effects of super speed.  If I ran as fast as I do without the Velocity Field?  Air Friction would rip me to shreds.  The air displaced as I speed by would destroy everything as I pass, pulling massive explosions after me.  A single ten-mile run would likely destroy the world in an instant.  But that doesn’t happen.

Why not?  Because of the Velocity Field.  It acts as an insulator between reality and the normal side-effects of super speed.  Even Clarity doesn’t know how it works exactly or why it exists.  Or so she says.

It also envelopes anyone I’m touching.  That’s how golden boy can run up the side of a building and catch his sweetie who is once again careless falling off the roof, apparently, and not kill her in the process.

If I carry someone, the Velocity Field envelopes them and protects them from the effects of the super speed, but it also allows me to transport them through time or even other universes.

It’s pretty cool.
