So, I’ve got a friend who is big into Dr. Who fanfic, including the occasional NC-17 bit.  I bumped into another old friend online that reminded me that, once upon a time, I used to write quite a bit of erotica.  I’ve wanted to do more writing for a while.

So, I wrote this story.  It was harder than I expected.  Both because I am a bit rusty on the style, and because I’m a bit pickier about the actual writing now.  But, it’s here.  I’d love some feedback.

As a note, this is NC-17, NSFW, for adults only, and probably illegal in some Southern states.  So, fair warning.  There’s nothing in here that requires any specific warnings, though.

This is a concept that was birthed from the “Life after People” show on The History Channel.   Essentially, as our metropolises decayed, skyscrapers would become vibrant micro-ecologies.  As windows shattered and fell out, dirt and seeds would find their way in, creating gardens 15 stories up.  Birds would be the obvious inhabitants, but insects and rats would also dominate, living off plastics, woods, and insulation.  As the joists and beams deteriorated , the whole structure would become too unsound for any large animal, and would require significant climbing ability to negotiate.  The apex predator of this new ecological niche?  Cats.

In my post-apoc setting, Manhattan Island was abandoned, and all the bridges blown.  As water levels rose, the edges of the island became submerged under up to 6 feet of water, with skyscrapers towering above these channels.  Skyscrapers ruled by cats.  And, over the years, the cats had…changed.

So, I had a wacky idea while lying in bed Sunday morning.  It’s been banging around a bit, and I need a blog topic, so here we go.

Basically, it’s a concept for a dark sit-com/dramedy show.  Take a low-class, redneck family.  They win the Mega-Ball Lottery, and suddenly come into around $200 million.  Their whole lives get turned upside down and inside out.  Basic themes revolve around “money doesn’t solve everything,” “rich people are just different,” and “greedy people suck.”

 This picks up just where pt. 1 left off…

 Martinique found herself back in her tiny apartment. The smell of blood was still all over her, and she vomited.

Hello. My name is Racquel. I have a secret. Two secrets, actually. One belongs to my master, and one to my mistress, and I am sworn to keep them, even each from the other. It is not what you might think, though. They are not unfaithful to each other, but to the Empire. You see, they are Shardlings…

Jack sensed his faux pas even before Don Garibaldi did himself.  He rose slowly to his feet while the boss worked through what had just been said.  It was only two steps towards the door, but, for Jack, that was enough.  By the time Garibaldi was shouting an order to his goons to grab the grifter, Jack’s long legs had already taken him past them and into the storefront of the tannery.  Jack thanked the ancient merlanes once again for making orks just bright enough to follow orders, but not bright enough to anticipate them.
