“Of Things To Come”
|
This is a story that I’ve submitted to a Matrix fiction writing contest. The contest is to tell the backstory, or a significant event in the backstory, of a secondary character from the first Matrix film. With a limit of 1,000 words, this is a heavily truncated version of the story I intended to tell. The “director’s cut” will come at a later date. Enjoy. The girl. All the good stories start with a girl, don’t they? We met not long after I came here. She was beautiful. The inviting eyes. Those jaw-dropping curves. And a smile seething with mischief. She was absolutely irresistible. She nearly got me killed. |
