Risks Of Departure - Part 1

This short story is part one of an eight page piece I did with artist Paul Tucker for the 2004 anthology Ellium : Hybrid. I loved the mood that his art conveyed for this and it seemed to be a favorite of people who picked up the book.

We were given freedom to write stories based in the Ellium world. Elluim is a wordlwide organization that guides global affairs through various covert means. There are a couple factions within the organization and they are at odds with one another.

After being given the background information on this, I decided to write a story where one of the agents of Ellium, a top operative named Silas Corbin, wanted to leave. But Ellium is not one of those organizations that you just leave. It's like being in a gang. Once you are in, you in for life.


I'm posting this in two parts because eight pages just seems like a lot to click through.

Profile - Knowdaverbs

As I seek to expand my horizons this year by forming my own freelance copywriting business, I find myself going through all those articles, reviews, and stories I've written over the years. All this does is reinforce a few things for me:

1. I'm getting older.
2. I write an awful lot meaning this is something I probably should have pursued quite a while back.
3. I'm older this year.
4. I'm finding more joy in reading and writing than in watching television.
5. Did I mention I was getting older?
6. This will take discipline and organization, something us writers are known not to be particularly good at. I'm blessed to be an exception to that rule.

This next diddy is an article I did with a rap artist that calls himself Knowdaverbs which changed to Verbs few years later and where it stands at the moment. I've met him personally and he's a real likable dude. I so like interviews.

So as I continue to build this online portfolio of my past work, I'm reminded that...well..man... I'm getting older.
