SnipsAndSnails#2

          Hi all!  Thanks for joining me again for another edition of Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday.  Let’s hope the weekend is in full swing for you and there’s something exciting on the agenda over the next couple days.  This week I’m continuing with another snippet from Snips and Snail, a short graphic comic script that I developed a few years ago.  Last week’s snippet was the first from the story, so if you didn’t read, you only have to go back one week to catch up.  The story is focused on fear and how it has developed over the years and maybe a glimpse into society’s mindset regarding violence.  I hope you enjoy.  Happy Pappy’s Day to those it applies to.  Before you’re done for the weekend – be sure to go over to scififansat.blogspot.com and peruse all of the great writing and writers happening over there.  You’ll be glad you did.

          Eyes glowing in phosphorous sparks, he traced the scars running along his forearm between tufts of matted hair as he remembered his glory days.  In Madrid, the villagers wrote him into song. In Frankfurt, they cast him in bronze.  History books were the photo albums of his past as nations rose and fell around him.  Then the Newlands came, bringing fresh flesh to turn pale and countless young minds to blacken.

          Until it all turned wrong and the same gateway that brought him countless hours of scream-filled exuberance became his personal prison.  With a clawed forefinger, he added a slash to a growing list of similar marks along the wall beside him. 

          He accidentally kicked a box in the corner and a robotic voice called out.

          “Intruder alert!  Photon lasers activated!”
