The Woods Out Back
If the armor fits...
Gary Leger thought life after college would bring great things. Instead, he's stuck in a dead-end job and finding that the real world isn't all it's cracked up to be.
But when he walks into the woods behind his house one day, Gary finds a world beyond the "real world"- a realm of elfs and dwarfs and witches and dragons. There he discovers that he is the only one who can wear the armor of the land's lost hero- and wield a magical spear.
And if he doesn't, he can never go home again...
