《The Edgars》Scene 6: The Murderer Strikes Again
Advertisement
(Scene: The police station, at night. The Officer is doing paperwork at his desk. Charles is gone from his cell. The Clone enters. He resembles Jonathan in every way except his different, bloodstained clothes, his flimsier hair, and a wild expression on his face. He is holding a rock.)
Officer
Good evening, Mister Ed-- Mister Edgar! Are you alright! Are you hurt anywhere? No, no. Don't say anything. Sit down while I fetch you a doctor. (The Clone approaches) Why do you stare at me like that? Go on, sit down. (The Clone wrestles him to the floor behind the desk and begins beating him with the rock) Help! Somebody! Murder! (After a while, the Clone ceases and exits)
(Enter George. He lifts the Officer up from behind the desk. Officer's head is bleeding)
George
Officer! Who did this to you? (Officer murmurs) Come on, man! Tell me!
Officer
...It was… your boy…
George
Damn. (Looks at cell) Where is Charles, the man you arrested for the murders?
Officer
...Bailed himself out… earlier today…
George
Impossible! (Beat) Now listen very carefully. It was he who did this to you. Charles. The man whom you released. Do you understand? Charles. Now tell me again; who did this to you?
Officer
...Charles… the man I released…
George
Excellent. Excellent. Don't move. I shall send for help.
(George exits)
Officer
...It was your boy… Charles… the man I released...

Ghostified City
‘Ghostified City’ is a post-dystopian sci-fi tale, set in a fading world that might be a future version of ours, running out on autopilot into oblivion. Adaman Yimmand is a simple robofactory operator in The City who's working with robots and machines every day. He doesn’t even realise that he might not have met another actual human being in years. Everything begins when he breaks his routine for once and enters a bar where he meets Evelith. This pesky other person does not let him go after he has had his -rather terrible- beer, because according to her actual humans are much rarer than he’s aware of. And from then on ‘the genie is out of the bottle and won’t get back in’, to use her words: Adaman meets more people, and gradually he has no choice but to accept that the reality of The City is not what he always thought it was, and to face the darkness of a fading humanity on the brink of self-inflicted extinction.Is there any hope left for him, and for his species? I have selected 'sexual content' and 'traumatising content' to be on the safe side, because there is a stripclub-like venue in the background of the story, and an almost-extinct humanity that has institutionalised suicide which might be disturbing to some. Apart from that it's not really a heavy 'adult' story.('Ghostified City' is my first long story in English as opposed to my native language Dutch, and an earlier version was published on my fiction blog 'Oranderra' until I stopped updating. This is a slightly altered version of the first series.)
