Hit World
Imagine a world of the near future where murder is legal -- provided it's done by a licensed "Shooter" employed by LifeEnders, Inc. That alone would make for in interesting series of stories, but there's a lot more going on in Hit World -- Where everything you don't believe in is real...
The Ferryman
By John E. Siers
Suicide has reached epidemic proportions in Hit World, so much so that the politicians have taken action. They've passed a law against it. Of course, they can't really punish a suicide, but what they can do is seize the suicide's estate, leaving heirs with nothing.
But hey, this is Hit World. What if a would-be suicide just hires LIfeEnders to do the job? The problem is, they won't. Their corporate policy prohibits "First Party Contracts" -- in other words, you can't hire them to kill yourself.
But wait... there's another licensed-to-kill company known as Charon's Ferry LLC. They specialize in assisted suicide. Or so they say -- actually, they'll just murder you for a substantial fee, bypassing the anti-suicide law.
OK -- enough preview. If you want to know more, you'll need to read The Ferryman. But remember... this is Hit World, where everything you don't believe in is real.
The Dragons of Styx
By John E. Siers
The Ferryman ended on a very strange note, as two of the main characters discovered that they weren't really what they thought they were... that a primal force of nature lived within them, waiting to emerge when provoked by a crisis.
Now that force has been awakened and they must learn to live with it. Try as they might to maintain a normal existence -- as strange as 'normal' might be in Hit World -- their lives have changed and there is no going back.
Charon's Ferry has now become the dragons' lair...
... but as far as LifeEnders is concerned, that's not a problem. It's an opportunity.
