Here’s page 100 of “In Deed”.
I actually had to look up the name of the ship, because I have forgotten what it was. I guess that’s what happens when I pick some random name instead of coming up with one that has some special connection or meaning.
Here’s page 99.
…it’s not that they’ve all forgotten something vitally important. It’s just that they’ve go nothing ELSE to do.
I came across this story during a recent search of my hard drive. It’s not all that old… April, 2009. My intent was to create a superhero fiction series using the 500-words format that I’m still using now. This was to be the first story of that series, introducing not only an entire collection of interesting characters, but the world they inhabited and its very long history as well. I spent a LOT of time coming up with a LOT of back-story for this universe. If you have ever read comic books, imagine coming up with the ENTIRE history of the Marvel or DC universe… just as backstory. Yeah, I did that. Those notes weren’t with this story fragment, so I’m not sure they survived. After re-reading it, there are a few places where I can’t remember what I had in mind, although it’s a safe bet that every name and event that is mentioned was supposed to be significant in some way.
Speaking of names, there is ONE name here that you might find familiar. I’ll leave the research to you. I’ll have a few more comments after the fragment.
