Addict Hero: Fantasy
Jun. 26th, 2005 04:00 pmThe hero-worshippers swarmed around him as he emerged from the temple of the silverdust. Come on, big jimmy, they said in wheedling voices. Tell us. What was it like? Did you see it? Did you see them, this time?
Come on, boys, don't hassle the man, said the temple acolyte who strong-armed them away. Your jive'll have its time, but it ain't now. The man's busy. Gonna be mighty busy for the next while. He's got himself what you might call a holy mission.
Lines of silver scrolled across the hero's skin as he moved, tracks that faded even as the rush went away. See a hero without silver on him and you saw a man who'd kill you sooner than look at you.
Inspiration: Iceberg Slim
Story Potential: Medium-high
Finished Length: ?
Notes: All you've got here is an interesting world set-up. It's like the ghetto, in a lot of ways. The "heroes" of the temples are addicts to drugs that they're fed. Don't know how that works in with use of street jive...might be as how this feels almost like an alternate Harlem in the 60s. Peculiar.
