Description:
Pulling out of DCP's archives, this is a story that I'm thinking of reworking into a full-length novel. Currently it exists as a 25-page short story. Let me know with your comments whether I should expand it, or give me some suggestions on how to do it. Anyway, it'll be separated into chapters best as I can.
So without further ado, here it is, my attempt at a parodic cyberpunk detective story. (Think Blade Runner by way of Naked Gun.) Incidentally, this isn't one for the kiddies: 18 and older, please.

Okay, Goodreads lost my original review of this stinking pile of crap that's masquerading as "literature." Let me sum it up. 1) Ignatius J. Reilly: most disgusting excuse for a human being every committed to print. Nauseating. 2) Anyone in this book th...more |

"“Alanna? Are you okay?”
A light touch on my shoulder startles me. My adrenaline is going too strongly, and I instantly stand up from the table and back away from the person who just came up to me. It’s William. He looks bewildered. “Alanna, it’s jus..." Read more of this chapter » |

“Ariel sighed. “How are you not self-conscious about that?”
Kitty chuckled. “Hey, I got used to it in a hurry, and I kind of like the side perks. I always wanted to … y’know, be superhuman, do some of the things I’ve been able to do with this setup.” She curled her tail up to take it in her hands. “Now I know how the guys feel, having something extra in your pants tends to be awkward after a while.”

“As Ariel recounted the events of her dream, two magnificent, batlike wings grew from the backs of her shoulders, stretched as if preparing to fly, then retreated back into their host. The sound heard when the wings disappear is the giggling of Alanna, who watched the event much the same way I did, in rapt wonder.”

“Gabe taps Michi on the shoulder. “I can understand any hesitation on your part, Michika. If you wish, you can stay behind with your family …”
“Nuh-uh, not a chance!” She brushes Gabe’s hand off of her shoulder. “If my best friend’s gonna be risking her life to kick New Empire ass, then I wanna be right there with her in my asskickin’ boots.”
