Stories

I write stories, and sometimes I post them on the web for people to read.

This is where those stories can be found.

It's been a year since the events of Green Filter.

Fields has just entered into the blueshift, the second phase of the experiment that saw his sense of sound improved and his eyesight artificially restored. Fields' uneasy relationship with those who restored his senses is about to take a nasty turn when corporate interests collide with the affairs of the overworld and the morality of the living.

Fields reflects upon the past while at the same time elements of his history best left buried threaten to rise to the surface. He finds himself forced to help cover up a murder, receives threatening messages from an unknown source, and as a series of seemingly unrelated events set of chain reactions that weave ever closer together, Fields finds himself being dragged back toward all the things he'd sworn to leave behind.

Fields has a few problems.

He lost his sight in an accident, then had it artificially restored at a cost that he is only beginning to realize.

His new eyes have revealed to him the forces that have been manipulating him for most of his life, and he finds both hope and defeat in the knowledge that he may never have been responsible for his own actions.

He always thought that trouble followed him around, and now knows that as much as this is true, so is the opposite. He finally understands why he finds himself pulled toward scenes of accidents and crime.

There are tragedies in his past that he'd rather keep buried, and truths about his existence that few could understand. There's a doctor who wants him to confront these matters for all the wrong reasons, and a cop who's asking too many questions.

And as if all of the above wasn't enough to keep him busy, there's also a girl who he doesn't know, who he sees everywhere, and whom he loves without knowing why - and then there are the ghosts.

It starts with a question, and ends with a choice.
