Inspired by the adventures of The Agents Of COMPASS that I have been chronicling here (and over at The Knight City Chronicles), frequent erudite HeroPress commentator Nimbus (aka Steve Bates) has penned a great short story set in the same universe.
Look, Up In The Sky! is set during the last Agents Of COMPASS adventure - kind of "behind-the-scenes" - as new kid on the block, Aviator, follows the exploits of the Agents and gets tangled up in the mess they left behind.
""Why the hell am I doing this?" Rob Tomlin muttered to no one in particular because he was on his own and no one else was nearby.
He was stood in the shadows on top of a building looking out along an empty street in the rough part of Knight City known to locals as Devil Heights. He'd been there a few minutes, taking a moment to catch his breath and to "survey his surroundings" or whatever they called it. Glancing down at his watch, Rob noted that it was almost 10pm at night. He'd give it another half an hour and then "retire back to base" and into his comfortable bed.
It had seemed like such a good idea at the time. It's what they did in all the comic books. With great power came great responsibility and all that trash.
So here he was.
On patrol.
And he'd seen nothing. "

ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out and link, Tim. And I'm now 'working' on the next "episode" (or whatever they're called).
I find it immensely flattering that our silly little game can inspire anyone creatively - so all the thanks must go to you!
