What happens when a madman blames society for his troubles? See what one man can do when all he wants is revenge. This is not a happy story: maybe it is even a horror story. It certainly has some political overtones. No, I am not advocating what happens, but I could do it if these bad things happened to me. Read it and think. That's all that I ask.
Write a story framed by a single scene: something happens, a flashback or inner monologue intervenes, and then the story ends with the rest of the original scene.
Humanity was forced to seek the stars. Destined to lead mankind into an ever expanding presence, the inhabitants of HD 85512 b have known no other rule than those of the benevolent machines. The same machines that brought their ancestors there hundreds of years before. But what is man if he isn't free? What is man without being able to choose for himself? Ask yourselves the same question and remember: Whom do you love the most?
Turn around, the one who loves you has been waiting for you to notice them. Just know that the one who loves you may also have someone behind them who's been waiting for their turn to be noticed...
