Professional Killer Markus & professional Victim Jes finish their latest jobs, almost like normal. Yet their actions echo around The Town and its morally bankrupt gov't. Face to face w/ powers wielded and fates enmeshed, can each trust the other to make it out alive? #LF #ND #MV #Speculative #DVPit

Julia's husband unravels:

Hugh spent all day speaking urgently with his colleagues in the Education Executive at Central London University. Sometimes she could hear him shouting from his home office: “Then we will need more police and security guards!” His students had become the enemy, an unruly, threatening presence, their own uncertainty and abandonment ramping up their terror and anger.

Little Hawke was nobody. Queen Eliza turned her into somebody. But when the queen is murdered what’s left of somebody?

Unfortunately there are larger matters at hand. The Deranged King Aspen has escaped prison!

Fine, Elizabeth’s identity crisis can wait.

For the #WIPSnips word for September 29th, "Well."

This was one of the most recent additions in my final round of revisions for the dystopian #speculative novel I've been querying on and off for forever. Felt very good to write.

I change into my boots to go to the privy, lingering outside to admire the night sky. A whisper of light dusts the far distance, the same red-tinged ochre of the earth. Ponder explained to us that the Big Daddy bombsite still effuses radioactive particles when the wind picks up, creating soft, bright storms that can be seen for hundreds of miles. Manmade refulgence, he says, unimpressed. It's fake, and it's fatal. But I enjoy the color from afar, the way it bleeds through the darkness. Naive and human of me, maybe, to overlook danger in favor of beauty, like the toxic white flowers of jimsonweed, or a well-shined gun. These glowing evenings are the same style of hazard, hurting you so prettily that the pain feels worth it.

Food on Mars:

Here, the taste of sweetness and saltiness is diluted. But, the dimmed sweetness of the tuber comes first, mellow and nutty, then the warmth kicks in—chili, just enough to wake my mouth. Onion too, sweet and sharp, though probably rehydrated. I doubt it was fresh, unless Hydroponics has managed spring onions in the vertical stacks. The chili might have come from the dome as well, or possibly one of the freeze-dried stores. Still, it tasted like my memory of home-cooked food. Not exact—but close enough to pass for comfort.

Aya in her consulting room:

The prints hang silently on the walls: Kandinsky’s figures suspended against the sky, Amarok’s ship unmoving on the sea, and Hokusai’s wave cresting, but never breaking.
The duckweed floats in its half-globe on the desk.
The horizontal window glows gold and tan.
The room is silent except for the constant mechanical whisper. I feel the dosimeter against my neck.
I sit in my chair, take out my glass and prepare for my second patient of the day.

#Reality is fuckries, when other races, other colors, people, strangers, remind you and feel like relatives so much to create nostalgia.
