Hey now,
I’ve got a short (actually quite long, in honesty) story being published in this sci-fi anthology that’s coming out in March. The story is called “To Mine Blood.” It has blood in it. I’m not a big sci-fi guy so I’d like to think I wrote a sci-fi story for people not into sci-fi, but you tell me (once you’ve spent money on it and are already stuck with a copy…).
You can pre-order the anthology right the heck now by clicking on this:
This is a spec script (my first one ever for anything) that I wrote for this TV show called Community that I believe some people like.
If you’re interested, after the jump I’ve written a big, rambly postmortem sort of thing of the whole screenplay.
There was a circle of ten or so mountains each about 3000 meters tall and 200 meters apart from one another. Atop these mountains, on the very peaks, lived one man apiece.
One day one of the men on one of the mountains (the leftmost one if you were looking at it from the southeastmost one, if you want to know) got up in the morning and, after having his morning coffee, realized with a tinge or two of remorse, that he was dying.
And so, after washing the dishes, he ventured out of his cabin at the tip of the mountain and stood on the tip there, cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted:
“My friends, I regret to inform you that I am dying.”
