Roaches check in, but they don’t check out.
New story! First scenes! Continuing directly from where coa//001 left off, with Dave off to experience the wonders of the Department of Orientation. Of course, getting the hang of the City of Angles is harder than it sounds, and it doesn’t sound particularly easy in the first place…
It took some reworking of my original pitch to get the story to this point. Who encounters who and where, whether I’d be splitting the counselor into two characters or consolidating to one, and so on. This should be a densely packed but short story, as Dave meets new folks and sees the variety of ways people approach city living for the first time.
Once coa//001 and 002 are in the can, well, then the world can expand a bit. We’ll have a proper introduction to how things are and can start exploring other places, other characters… but, one thing at a time.
I’d love to hear your reactions and get your feedback. Post away!
