THE ALL-NIGHTER
Below is an excerpt from my third book, Protected. This collection of 36 short stories involves scenarios of mistaken vulnerability. This story’s concept is one of my faves: what if there was a college for super villains?
He had heard all kinds of rumors about Vossenreich Technical College.
To the outside world, it was an exclusive private university with a surprisingly “unique” degree program. Students could pick from such courses as advanced terrorism tactics, forgery, nuclear weapons design, contraband trafficking, urban abductions, counter-forensic studies, and even xenosociology.
Maybe a tenth of the student body actually came here in the innocent pursuit of a liberal arts degree. The faculty telepaths saw to it that none of those students – or any outsiders – ever figured out the true purpose of Vossenreich: to produce competent, well-trained criminals. The other ninety percent of the student body had sinister dreams and aspirations: from world domination to making big bucks as career “henchpersons.”
