Laura Meets the Sultan of Zandalar (Laura's Submission #6)
Alex Carlsbad

Could it all be a dream of a feverish mind, or does a secret society steeped in dark rituals and old traditions hold sway over the world for real?
This is Volume 6 of the Laura’s Submission Series
*** Warning ***
To say that this short story is for grown-ups is stating the obvious.
This series is meant for people who are not easily shocked, do not get nightmares easily, and do not mind reading about evil and awful things that happen to innocents. The ancient Greeks called it catharsis – the experience of providing relief from repressed emotions via our imagination.
I do believe in the power of fiction to shock and even though I humbly ask for your apologies, kind people, you have been warned.
I do not condone violence, sexual or otherwise. This is fiction, a place where imagination rules. I have tried to build worlds that are internally consistent. Things that are most probably going to appall you, are perfectly normal to the characters that dwell in my stories. All sexual acts performed in my stories are between people of legal age (also known as eighteen years old, or older). Any violence is non-gratuitous and crucial to the plot and character development.
Do not read this story if you are under the age of consent in your country. Do not be surprised if you feel angry, upset and/or nauseous as you read along. You have been warned.
