Pretending To Be God

George Sterling, once a successful lawyer turned actor, then turned magician, finds himself in dire straits as the rise of Artificial Intelligence takes away all his livelihoods. As he nears the end of his life, a family heirloom, a mysterious ring passed down from his father, transports him to an unfamiliar world seemingly distant from reality. Upon awakening, George discovers a newfound opportunity that awaits him. Initially tasked with portraying the Wizard of Oz to survive, he delves into this new role. However, as he embraces his new identity, an even greater challenge lies ahead: he must venture into the realm of pretending to be a god. This book uses characters and elements from L. Frank Baum's original Oz series which has entered the public domain and allows me to use them in my original book as long as I do not use the characters and elements from the adaptations that haven't entered the public domain.

Take Them To Court Part 3

The administrator crumbled the piece of paper in his fist and hurled it at the CFO. It hit his chest with a dull thud. 

"Hey!" the CFO shouted, scrambling to pick it up. "You didn't have to do that!" His voice cracked with indignation, though his hands shook as he unfolded the paper.

The administrator leaned over his desk, seething. "What was going through your mind when you ordered that added to the T&C?" His voice sliced through the air, sharp with frustration.

The CFO glanced at the crumpled paper and back up at him, blinking. "I don't know what you're talking about!" He skimmed the contents of the paper, his face tightening as realization hit. "Oh, this? One of the government officials told me to add it. Ordered, actually."

"Who?" The word left the administrator's mouth like a whip.

"I don't know—the order came from high up." The CFO's eyes darted nervously around the room, as if seeking an escape route.
