Unknown author Gregor Planks lives under the assumption that he is in control of the fiction he writes, but when a reoccurring character in the stories he writes starts to manifest himself the boundaries between fantasy and reality quickly disappear. As Gregor attempts to win the affection of a gawky woman and fends off his slumlord with a kaleidoscope of menial jobs, he finds playing God to a fictional world has a higher price to pay than he could imagine. Traversing a mock history of humanity, Artifice Historica provides both a hilarious and horrifying view of the world.
