I tend to write these small snippets of larger wholes - there's so much potential for world building here. In some ways I imagined a Terminator kind of scenario where he'd been sent back to stop the Looms but then I imagined a secret militia tasked to exterminate them before they took over. But then, I felt sorry for the Looms. If they modelled themselves after humans, could they feel like them too - the age old question.
I have a hankering to read some old school science fiction....
tends to just "skip to" being a default state for the future.
Yet the lead up would be fun to write - or maybe just the memories.
"He remembered the time where he had killed his first Loom. He had made the mistake of falling in love with her, a mistake he would not mJe again, although there never would be anyone else."
I also love weaving in Australian things - all the old school science fi was Northern hemisphere. I'm a massive fan of the Australian Gothic so if I can thread that in a little I'm usually having fun.
I am still thinking on how the crap I'm gonna handle my review of Annihilation, then, from where I sit at the kitchen table, I can see a pile books on the hallway table (I put them there because I walk past them everyday,) knowing that I need to pick one of them next.
I've given up on the William Gibson books. My next choice(s) include a few PKD books, so I think I will be picking up one of them.
Butttt I've also got the audio book of the next in the series by Jeff VanderMeer, so I have to balance that demand on my reading time, too.
Thanks for being the only person to ready story. I enjoyed Gibson at uni uni (neuromancer) where I did a great unit - CYBERPUNK: CRASHING INTO THE FUTURE. but haven't got a long with him since.
and Children of Time by AT just got loaned back to me, after I didn't get to finish it the last time I borrowed it, so I think that curve ball is next.
After I do my daily hive duties, of course. Hive is a church, Afterall, and I must worship
