Story
You were sitting at your computer one day, totally absorbed and hypnotized by its trance-inducing coruscations,when suddenly, zap! -- A ligntning bolt came crashing through the window and surged through you and your computer.
Blackness overwhelmed you for a few seemingly endless moments. When your consciousness began to return, a swirling light of meaningless gyrations slowed down gradually until you began to perceive more clearly. You found yourself somehow blended into the heart of your computer in a landscape molded from transistors and chips, caught up, captured & trapped in a world beyond the limits of human imagination, another dimension, another time and space, you would come to call the enchanted land of Neverwhere -- a world wherein you would come to be called ZAPPER!
-- A world from which you MUST escape!
