After the convergence #2 8-10 sentences for #WeWriWa
Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors. This is a sample from my latest work, and I hope you enjoy it. It continues after Alan and his partner Paul decide to take the case. The ‘him’ in the first sentence is a policeman detective who retrieves Alan from BART.
The train stopped, and I followed him to a waiting car. The car door opened for us, and after we had got in, it drove off. The control program competently slid through the traffic while a link to the machine asked me several questions. It used a smooth, fluid voice when it said, “Alan, was Paul working on a case?”
“That’s Mr. Blake. Mr. Bigelow was working on what looked like a divorce. Find the cheating husband, or maybe not a yet official husband.”
“Any names?”
“Classified. You have a search warrant?”
This work was recently published and is available for Kindle, including Kindle unlimited. It is a dark, noir detective story set in the near future, after machines have become intelligent. It uses a number of engineering/science puns – the “mutual impedance society.”
