The Beginning

by R.W. Taylor

Overview

Origin story/Set up for alien contact!!

QUESTION: What would you do if you could absorb another person's memories, feelings, and talents...by killing them?

Welcome to Smith's life.

~~~

Smith was a very peculiar sort. He didn't like condoms, and he believed that men were superior creatures, designed to make children and forget about them, spread the seed as God in His great wisdom intended.

Smith happily boasted he'd created at least 12 children, none of which he'd ever paid a dime of child support for. He'd never felt a shred of guilt over it. He was the type who believed he could do no wrong. Even worse, he believed he was intelligent.

He was a short man with a gruff voice. He was the fool's captain and the coward's bully, and for that Reginald was his lapdog. At least the fool part, that is. Reginald, his companion, was no coward. He was a gigantic mound of fat and muscle and an absolute dimwit with seemingly no concept of danger. A living cliche of strength and stupidness.

Follow their adventure as they discover a secret about murder that will change the course of their lives.

This story is based on the writing prompt, "You accidentally kill a person. Instantly, you absorb all of their memories, feelings and talents. It feels quite addicting to you" from Reddit's WritingPrompts subreddit.

~short read with HUGE potential for growth and novelization!!

About the Author

Cross-genre writer R.W. Taylor likes to write...a lot. Think twelve hour days with a good-old fashion notebook and pencil—yes, that's how he prefers it—although he uses a laptop, too...sometimes. He's most at peace when he's diving deep and getting lost in the act of creation. He prefers writing science fiction and romance, but he's written political thrillers, erotica, poetry (bad poetry), and even a 50,000-word survival-lite fiction novel that may or may not ever see the light of day. He likes to experiment with styles and voices. He loves sharpening his skills through practice and experimentation. Short stories, novellas, novels; different tenses; serious stuff; light-hearted stuff; you name it. He likes to write about unique, imperfect characters who pull at your heartstrings because...they bleed. Or maybe one day he'll write about a perfect character with no flaws, or better yet, the most perfect character ever. When he's not writing, he works as a nobody associate at a secret chain store...somewhere in the universe.

He also likes naps, because, who doesn't like naps? And he likes his wife, Yeli Tige, too. She's pretty cool. Wait; scratch that. She's really cool. Without her, R.W.'s writing would have never come to be. Probably because he's a perfectionist and she's always telling him not to throw stuff away. Of reader interest: The two of them are currently working on a science fiction romance series.

Let's see, what else?

Right! Chocolate. R.W. Taylor likes chocolate. Lots of it. He can't write without it. Brain food 101. So you can thank chocolate, too.
