A Shot in the Dark by Armon Mikal


When you are an aspiring drug runner for up-and-coming criminals in the crowded city of Luckhaven, life and death comes down to customer service.

It’s good customer service to answer the phone when your fixer calls, even if you’re in the middle of sex with a pleasure robot.

It’s good customer service to make sure you don’t bring a weapon when you meet your fixer at the exclusive club that has muscle grafted bouncers at the front door.

It’s good to customer service to mind your own business and not ask what is in the mysterious bag you are picking up.

It’s good customer service to take the back roads so the cops don’t stop you.

And sometimes it’s good customer service to get back up after taking two bullets in the stomach, and go retrieve the package your were supposed to deliver, even though you are bleeding out.

Ezekiel Aurora offers excellent customer service.

In the gritty world of A Shot in the Dark, Armon Mikal creates a dark city of fixers, runners, holophones, and synths, where everyone is strung out on rocket and cops can sentence you themselves–and the most important thing you have is your reputation.
