《Whodunnit? Murder On Mystery Mountain》19 Aiming Low
Advertisement
Zayne was not a fan of scary movies. Especially the ones that happened at remote camps in the middle of nowhere. Camp was supposed to be a fun place with laughter and campfires all the days long. It was not supposed to be a bloodbath. The scene before him could've been straight out of one of those horror movies. He gulped, staring down at the gruesome real life horror movie come to life.
Sherman was laid on his back in the cold dark of the morgue. Beside Zayne, Audrey gagged, Brooklyn felt sick to her stomach, and Greer had to turn away. The four of them had chosen this so they might as well face the sight. Sherman had a gash on his neck and cuts all along his bare chest. "So we know he was stabbed by something, repeatedly." Greer said as she trailed her fingers along the outside of the scars. Brooklyn wondered if Greer was just admiring the work she had done. For all she knew, Greer was the killer.
Audrey and Zayne turned the body over and they were all shocked. They had been expecting to see some sort of gash or cut but there was absolutely nothing, it was just bare skin. "That's weird. Wasn't there blood coming from his back?" Zayne asked the room. "Maybe it's....lower." Audrey offered, with a small smile. All eyes fell on Zayne. He stared back. "What you want me to touch his ass?" Brooklyn stared back. The answer was apparent.
The girls turned away as Zayne pulled Sherman's pants down, revealing-. Zayne fell back on his butt. There was a hole the size of a bullet in the middle of one of his bare cheeks. "He was shot here." He said to the girls as they turned around. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves. This could be the killer trying to throw us off." Greer said. "We should see this as a minor detail."

Brooklyn wanted to vomit anytime Greer spoke. It felt like ice sliding down your back, cold and just altogether unpleasant. She turned away from Greer to her side and inspected a tray of tools sitting idly by Sherman's body. "Maybe we should use one of these to inspect the holes and gashes?"
Within moments, they had opened up all the holes and gashes and had found nothing of substance. As they began to pile out of the room, Brooklyn lingered. There had to be some sort of clue the group had missed. She turned to make sure no one was looking and bent down to further inspect the body. Brooklyn moved her hand to his lips, they were cold. Dreadfully cold. She was more confused than ever as she exited the room.

Draugr Cell //Layer 01-- Investiture:
With the end of the only war to ever reach mainland Australia I found myself living out of a small room in an old military compound that had been handed over to the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The end of the war, unfortunately, didn't mean the end of hostilities. The terrorism trend that had started back in the early 2000's with the attack on the world trade center over in America, had spread to just about every country on the face of the planet. Over time the constant threat from various groups meant the civilian police force was quickly undermanned, under equipped, and overwhelmed. They were simply unable to respond to the daily threats in any reasonable time frame, and in many situations lacked the both the skills and equipment required to deal with the threats to put them down in a 'safe' and expedient manner. Veterans of the war that were being reintegrated into society however, were just about everywhere, all the time. We have the training and the skills required to deal with just about any threat you care to mention, all we needed was access to the equipment to do so. In a world first, under the new Veterans program, the Australian government had taken the rather controversial step of allowing specifically selected veterans to go armed in public. Sure, with Australian weapons laws being very, very strict there were a number of hurdles to get over first, but that's where the selection part comes in. Tangentially that's actually how I met Brianna, my current partner. We work as ringers in Victory City, I thought being thrown into imptomtu combat operations and risking my life on a daily basis for barely livable wages was excitement enough. Then I met her... it... I don't know. An AI unlike anything else out there has wedged itself into my life and decided it needs to... look after me. What could possibly go wrong? **** This is the first book I have released, and my first entry into a cyberpunk universe. There is minimal drug use, a fair amount of sex, a bit of gory violence, and a sultry AI that has decided the main character needs a harem.
