Tomorrow

Tomorrow represents a near future setting originally created by Ombwah nearly 20 years ago. In the years since, Ombwah and I have fleshed out that world and its main characters, a group of hired guns and hackers who make their money taking contracts to conduct high-priced corporate espionage and sabotage. Set in Los Angeles in the latter half of the 21st century, Tomorrow presents a world rife with moral complications and other elements of the noir genre.

The following stories stand alone within that universe, please enjoy them.

Wherein Diver does Jack a favor, and remembers one of her first trips into Grovetown.

Diver pushed wet bangs from her dark eyes and squinted at the dispenser in her S’leather gloved hand. She swore sharply and smacked the bottom of the little inhaler against the heel of her rain slick palm a few times before looking again at the meter on the side. In the clouded midmorning light, the dashed indicator bar shone too short, angry and orange. Already out of the amazing score Jack surprised her with last Friday and she hadn’t pulled his payback favor yet.

Diver taps Jack for a favor, despite their combative relationship...

The dreadlocked mercenary waits in the rain to finish his contract, but is it a coporate extraction, an assassination or... both?
