MEET ME IN NOWHERE LAND THE YEAR IS 2034. A MASSIVE TECH CONGLOMERATE CALLED GENCORP HAS DEVELOPED A STRONGHOLD ON THE US GOVERNMENT. GENCORP IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 98 PERCENT OF ALL TV, NEWS, MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT THROUGH THEIR A.I MEGAMIND PROGRAM, GENESIS. THIS IS THE STORY OF TWO GENESIS FACTORY WORKERS AND THEIR ESCAPE FROM THE MAGNIFICENT MACHINE. 1 It’s the soft kind of quiet on a cool, dark night in the canyon. A vanilla bourbon candle has receded into a shallow pool of molten wax as I stare through the television. I cued up that popular new detective special “Brute Force” but have since fallen into a state of catatonia. I’m staring through the screen, time drools on with occasional gun shots and deep voiced monologues. I briefly tune in long enough to catch head detective cheese balls hit this all time line.. “Jackie, I’ve got a nose for the truth, and something in here stinks.” Suddenly, heavy footsteps approaching from the exterior corridor break my stupor. It’s probably Niah or Eve next door returning from Hollywood. An owl hoots. The footsteps get closer, closer, then suddenly stop right outside. The hell? I turn around and see a white envelope slipped underneath my door. The footsteps resume, now with some pace, on and away into the night. .. https://substack.com/@timmyskelly
