< The First Fiction I've Written Since January
I'm intrigued by the hints of the world this is set in! The Phoenix Society? Adversaries and Peacekeepers, and the City-State of New York??
I didn't really feel point 2 was an issue in this short excerpt. And the fact of point 3 makes it even more interesting!
Thanks. I have this post-collapse science fantasy setting where nation-states have mostly fallen apart, aliens have been living among humanity for thousands of years, and soul-searching androids struggle against corruption and tyranny alongside swashbuckling sopranos when they aren't fighting demons from outer space.
It's what I get for playing too many JRPGs, listening to too much prog rock, and not smoking enough cannabis as a teenager.
I actually have more stories available on the smol net if you're interested, and have been serializing my last stalled project on smol.pub. :)
