April 18th, 2070. City's cold tonight.

The Undercity is thumping, just like every night and two-hundred metres below the surface the music's jumping, the lights are flashing, people are sweating on the dancefloor, and, just like every night, Don Cogliano's taking blood money from who knows how many kids. Sucked into this shit, they'll be dead next week, just like the rest.

That's not how it's going any more, this town's being cleaned up and if The Chief's just gonna swallow his money I'm the only sonofabitch who can do it. He's not getting away with this any more, not after he took my partner. Not after Johnny damn it!

Security's weak here in the back, slip right in. Bastard won't know what hit him.

The lights go out at once perfectly on-cue and I make my move.

The music goes out, it's just confused cries I can hear. My own breath, the tear of wheels on the dancefloor underfoot, my piece humming up to full power, and the last words I thought I'd ever say after what the cocky bastard did to me.

"Freeze! This is a bust!"

This is it. He's going down. This is it.

The lights come back on.

"The jig is up Cogliano!"


There he stood, defiant on his roller skates, sweat dripping down his brow, in what may be his final confrontation with the Despicable Don Cogliano.

We'll be back after these messages for more DISCO COP.

Good but you basically copied terminal 00
http://angusnicneven.com/

I've actually never heard of this!

It appears to be a very different theme to mine beyond a few basic similarities, but it's a fairly simple concept with a common enough starting ground I believe anyone might come up with, mine is realised in a different way to this one. Clearly this has been the case, which I'm sort of impressed by, seeing how close it comes to some of the formatting.

I'll give this a read but it's definitely very different to my own intentions. I will be up front and tell y'all that this was actually inspired by 17776 - What Will Football Look Like In the Future, one of my favourite short stories.

I made it as a prelude to something else and wanted to establish a character.

It's a story about the birth and early life of said character, and their experiences in gaining independence.

We'll get more very shortly as I work on the final two chapters.
