Heroism and Other Lies: Trailer One

Fade In from black:

Night time in a city. The lights from the buildings and street lamps play upon the puddles in the street. A light rain falls. A man wearing a long dark coat crosses the street. In one hand he holds a blaster, the other a sword.

Dissolve to:

A mechanical looking chair in a metal room filled with buttons, switches and blinking lights. The chair has many ports running up it's back.

A woman sits in the chair. A hissing sound is heard as the ports connect.

A man in a navy-blue suit stands in the doorway.

He addresses her: "If you go off book or betray the mission, VerciCorp will blacklist you across all other employers and your name will be given to the authorities as a potential terrorist. Do you understand?"

Cut to:

An airship taking off. The woman can be seen sitting in the chair through the front window as it soars into the sky.

Cut to:

A man wearing a black outfit and an air mask stands before an open cargo-bay door. Large boxes fly out the opening as the wind from outside whips about.

Fade to black:

Voice over, male: "I thought I was done being a hero."

Cut to:

Image of an old archway, the words "BUILD A BETTER FUTURE" faded over cracked concrete.

Voice over, male: "But it looks like things are just beginning."

Cut to:

A brief image of the man in the coat from the beginning of the trailer battling two large and well armed robots.

Fade to black:

Heroism and Other Lies, a series of novellas by Douglas Miller. A superhero-level adventure in a cyberpunk world.

Episode 101: Pilot, Coming Soon.

  2. Exciting! Side note: I'm still not receiving emails that inform me when you post or when you've commented on my comments. (Nothing is in my Spam folder either, which is odd.) Have any other friends had better luck?
