STREAM-DRIVEN DREAMS
tonight i began work on the last short story for my fiction workshop. this assignment came with a catch; certain elements, including character names and setting were generated randomly, through the old flip-open-a-book-and-drop-the-finger technique.
my two names: Peter Hodgson and Sergei Zboronov.
and the setting: Prague.
now, having spent the last couple months immmersed in Sci-fi, Cyberpunk, German Expressionism, Poe, and William Gibson, i have opted to drift from the realist tack i have been on so far, and directly into the grimy, cogged heart of STEAMPUNK!
the idea, so far, is a hard-boiled/holmes-esque/noir/imagist mystery short, featuring two Byronic detectives in a dystopian steam-powered Prague of the distant futurepast.
hot shit! too stoked.
