At the intersection between cyber punk and horror. I love this piece. Loss of agency is one of my top fears and you tapped into it here.

I have a story that on the schedule that plays with immortality and the loss of agency. Itโ€™s called the Golden Owl. Itโ€™s scheduled for release 9/2. I hope you check it out.

sick work.

As soon as I hear โ€œDemolition Manโ€ all I can think of is Sly saying โ€œBONING? THE WILD MAMBO? THE HUNKA CHUNKA?โ€

But also, Emily, this is great work. Sorry my brain is what it is haha

Thanks ๐Ÿ’— short horror (and erotica lol) is easiest for me because I can just slip into a character for a while and spew out everything theyโ€™re experiencing at this blip in their lives.

Serials and novels I agonize over. When Iโ€™m burnt out or stressed or need to release pent up energy I turn to shorts with self indulgent visceral description. ๐Ÿ˜‚

i feel that way with dialogue, comes easy, so I avoid it.

my struggle is with โ€˜timeโ€™, expanding it, i slow down time too much.

this is good, is the augment part something you came up on the spot or is it part of your universe?

On the spot haha Iโ€™ve always wanted to write a cyberpunk novel but never had the guts so I have all these little tidbit ideas lurking in the back of my brain.

I have that in the world I'm building, it's part of the cyborgs.

Love cyberpunk, anything punk, but cyber over steam.
