Summary: (Ao, this is a Screen-Story written in the language of the 2050's. Everything is TV and Fanboy heavy, so read it as if you are watching it on Network 23.)
It's a hardboiled blood and techno thriller set 45 minutes into a future manipulated by deception, desperation, and despair. 3 differnt character arcs, each with a different writting style and color, merge into a single thread.
THE COP: Officer Vickey Worthey works 4 the nearly unstoppable Gov-Corp monstrosity called the Truth Maintenance System. The last Work Order went bad, real bad. It got her killed, a cloned heart, and an E-ticket ride to the Twilight Zone.
THE CRIMINAL: Juan Sanchez, 4 days out of prison and with debts to pay, immediately joins a mercenary gig directed by a mildly insane Colonel McLove. Juan wants 2 change, but he is El Alacranro, a scorpion hunter, a killer of killers, and can never change.
THE CASUALTY: Switch is the Biological flesh around “the Wire,” a piece of Outlaw Technology fetal graphed to brainstem. The memory is fuzzy, but the bruises testify 2 violence as she hits reality hard, prison cell top bunk as a Blank, no file, no record, and no past, except a conviction of Murder.Chapters: |
 | It's All Mercenary (First Draft) | k_s_talyn | Novel | Fantasy | 25 | n/a | Nov 27, 2008 |
Summary:It's All Mercenary is a humorous take on the overly used plot of a quest. You have your generic characters: Mage, Barbarian, Healer, Mercenary, etc, but they are filled by personalities who don't quite fit the boundaries of their roles. Told in first person. I have thick skin, so don't be afraid to tell it like you see it. NOTE TO NEW READERS: The early chapters need a lot of work. I know this and I will edit them eventually. This is only a first draft.Chapters: |
