The Story So Far

Blood, Sweat. . .and Murder?: The Fall of Andres Guillermo Gutierrez

Andres Guiterrez was on his way up in the world

Cinnamon Buns and Cereal Killers: The Sad Tale of Orson Cordova

Orson Cordova was just a man.  True, before the world fell apart in ‘64, he could touch the Matrix in ways no one could ever explain.  Through his data jack he experienced a world that was beyond words.  He watched as the great ones took down the only place he’d ever felt comfortable.  When the Matrix had finally come back, he broke.  The closeness he had was gone.  Many times he considered eating the end of his trusty Colt, but he was a coward.  And so, he did what he could - bought an Azzie deck and bartered out his services while he drank himself to sleep each night.  Drugs sometimes too.  Always alone, always looking for ways to get back what he’d had.

One day, something in the Matrix touched him.  It took almost no convincing to get Cordova to go to El Paso. 

Things got blurry after that.  He remembered the faces of others, passing like shadows in a kind of nightmarish fugue state.  He remembered blood, lots of blood, but not who’s blood.  He remembered the throbbing feeling that something wasn’t right.  He remembered less and less.

Sometimes when people asked him who he was, he didn’t know what to say.
