You guys, I really don't have a reason, I just lost the spark. I have so much I want to finish but it's been a struggle. I looked at a document and realized I had multiple parts of Burn I hadn't even posted and figured I'd get back on the horse.
Anyway, let's get back into Burn, the story that takes place 27 years after the first serial I wrote in the rebooted Vice universe.
Burn
I saw this and it reminded me a little bit of Luce and Haley. Also, yes, I have a Tumblr I haven't updated in 4 years.
Burn Recap
Let's do this from Skylark Gray's POV. By the way I have no idea why these Vice serials always turn into such sausage fests.
16-year-old Skylark Gray has grown up on The Atlas Star, a research satellite ship that rarely touches ground on Earth. He is a foster kid and raised by his guardian who is mostly ambivalent towards him except on his birthdays where they spend an hour in the Closet.
On his 16th birthday Sky goes looking for answers and discovers he is Phoenix Maxwell, the only son of the former president of the Republic who was famously kidnapped as a toddler and never found. His guardian had been sending the tapes of the closet to Maxwell to make him think he kept Sky locked in a closet for 10 years.
He learns his guardian knew Maxwell during the war and took Phoenix as payback with the help of his fiance Luce Grace, a hacker cyborg in the cartel. They'd hid him by lying about his age by a year and having his name removed from the manifest so he'd never be found.
Sky demands to go back to his real parents but he is also sympathetic to his guardian so when the ship lands they arrange for him to go home in a way that won't get anyone in trouble. They tell him try and cross the border to the West, wait until his DNA is tested and then when the match shows the authorities will take him to his parents. They tell him not say anything so he won't accidentally give something away. The plan works and he is taken to Fort Perch where he is examined by the surgeon general, Dr. Hayworth.
Dr. Hayworth takes my blood pressure and gives me a standard check up. She asks me if anything hurts and I say no. She asks me if I'm sexual active and I shake my head. She asks if I've been been sexually assaulted and I say no quickly, but wants to check anyway and I let her. Then she leaves the room.
When the door opens a few minutes later my biological parents are standing in the doorway.
BTW, Burn got away from me. It's closing in on being NaNo length....
