So here’s a short story which might become the first chapter of a longer thing. Click on the curiously blank box above to download the PDF.
Jac Triton is an irreverent operative fighting for revered values in a far-future science fiction setting. In Jac’s universe, humanity has achieved post-scarcity utopia, but those paradises are not evenly distributed. Jac’s working to fix that, opposed by all the assholes who benefit from weaponized scarcity, with panache, quick wits, and death-defying derring-do.
I also get to do fun things with pronouns.
If you follow me on Google Plus, you might recognize the first bit of this, which I posted under the title Mads Tritoni. I’ve since changed the name of the main character (because I’m aiming to make them an iteration of the English culture hero Jack), and more importantly finished the story. If you want to skip over the stuff you’ve seen before (aside from minor typos and flow changes), skip to page 12.
I’d really love to hear what you think about this piece. Was it as fun to read as it was to write? Would you like to see more Jac Triton?
