Tour Of Duty: Stories And Provocation - Plot & Excerpts
This time, I picked a character I liked, and let that inspire me to create a persona. The actual Peter Hathaway Capstick was a fine writer, and I highly recommend his books. Africa at night is awesome and vital. The cloying, damp heat with scents of rot, of animal and growth punching the nose. The discordant symphony of beasts, from crickets to lustful frogs to the warning growl of leopards on the prowl. Nowhere on earth can offer the immersion of sensation one finds in the Limpopo, Okavango, Serengeti or Kalahari. They’re all different and unique, constantly changing and fresh, and all part of the greatness known as Africa. Hellfrica, on the other hand, is everything Africa is, and less. It is just as vital. The scents are better described as stenches. The animals sound desolate, effete and bored. The heat . . . Ah, yes, trust the Prince of Lies to make Hellfrica cold. Not all the time, of course. Hot and cold fight each other for supremacy, below the boiling sun and the scimitar curve of the moon, or at least it appears that way.
