I'm a new writer of science fiction and adventure tales. I also make occasional forays into fantasy and realistic fiction. I love post-apocalyptic settings, utopias and dystopias, coming-of-age stories, and stories about underdogs struggling against the machine.

things are moving... slowly...

Wow, that really doesn’t look like much progress since the last time I posted a progress bar, does it?

I’ve become a big fan of the Stuff You Should Know podcast. It’s a really good resource when you don’t know much about a topic, and need to find out the basics in like, 20 or 30 minutes. I’ve been listening to all the episodes I find especially relevant for the purposes of this story, such as “How SWAT Teams Work”, “Are there people who feel others’ pain?”, “The Real Jack the Ripper”, “How Witness Protection Works”, “How Hostage Negotiation Works”, “How Body Armor Works”, “What’s the best place on your body to get shot?”, and of course, “How Rigor Mortis Works”.

Too bad research doesn’t count as wordage.
