Seymour Spiritz and The Three-Timer
THE SACRED SEYMOUR SPRITZ:
Time travelling to an ancient Egyptian village on Halloween night with a prototype time machine is not the brightest idea, especially when you’re totally drunk and dressed like a superhero. The good news for Seymour is that on arrival he’s considered to be a god, but the bad news is that he can’t get the time machine working again. Thousands of years later, a team of archeologists discovers Seymour’s tomb with the message he left behind, along with the non-functional time machine. Can they get it working and bring Seymour back, before an enraged crowd of Seymour’s descendants slays them for desecrating Seymour’s tomb?
THE THREE-TIMER:
Engineering student Harley Barfield has always been a dreamer, so when offered a chance to participate in a fascinating dream research project he jumps at the opportunity. Neurotic psychology graduate student Waldo connects Harley to a device that lets him relive previous memories within a dream. Harley relives one recent memory but acts radically different, infuriating his girlfriend Cindy. After waking up he is shocked to discover it wasn’t a dream, but actual time travel and that he’s screwed up his entire life. Can Harley convince the now hospitalized Waldo to send him back to the past to make things right again?
Downsized II: Wommerbats!
“You want me to be downsized again, together with that maniac Deloris? Are you nuts?”
In this sequel to Downsized and Othersized, Joey has a new problem. After more than two years downsized as a rabbit, a dog, and a gorilla, all he wants is to make up with his parents and make up for lost time with his girlfriend Felina. But life has other things in store for him. When the evil Antarcticans launch a diabolical plot, it’s up to Joey to help prevent the slaughter of Hollywood’s biggest stars during the Academy Awards. But to do that, Joey needs to agree to be downsized again, this time as a genetically modified wombat, along with his arch-enemy Deloris, and Bratslav, an overly optimistic rat. Will they learn the secrets of the sinister Antarcticans in time to avert the disaster?
Downsized and Othersized
The story of Joey, an arrogant system engineer, who is downsized from the human race and is reincarnated as a series of animals in his determined effort to return to his former life.
