Scorpio Escapes - a story fragment featuring i-chan
Third attempt to showcase this and learn what people think.
An absurdity piece loosely inspired by the work of "David Wong", author of "John Dies at the End". Nothing remotely like this happens in that story, but let's just say an ice cream truck piloted by an eyeless zombie bear from the moon would not have been out of place in that story.
I have been thinking that perhaps Scorpio, the pirate super-pimp wizard gangster-kingpin, should never appear "onscreen", but always be seen through agents like the bear or heard about second-hand. What do you think, folks?
Also, there is some debate as to whether "pirate super-pimp" refers to a super-pimp who is ALSO a pirate, or instead, a super-pimp who acts in a pirate fashion, hijacking the resources of other super-pimps (in the same way a pirate radio station hijacks airwaves) in order to further his own ends. Personally, I like the second one better, as it leads to the reader imagining a more absurd situation.
