Brief Author Bio: Still looking to do something clever with my life, though I feel thoroughly useless almost days and a majority of my jobs could have been done by (poorly) trained monkeys. Some of those bosses certainly deserved to have feces thrown at them. Now I'm writing and working at an inn for too little recompense and dreaming of running off to Asia to teach English. |

Synopsis: Halcyon Helix
The world might not be over, but it has become stagnant. The introduction of a gene sequence designed to decrease aggression and deviant thought in criminal populations to the general world population calls creativity and enlightenment to a halt as well as the intended dissatisfaction and unrest it was meant to quell. The Halcyon Helix has brought a new peace to the world, a regularity and constancy, as well as contentment for most.
Art, however, is gone. Innovation is performed in minute steps along predetermined paths. Even economics and social change is moderated, guided from behind the scenes by men and women to refer to great yellow-paged books of tables and charts designed to create a stable cycle of existence for humanity.
A few creative, bright people who proved immune to the virus which carried the Helix have become 'super villains' if only due to bad press and lack of much crime to which to compare them. The Bard and The Chromosome Cowboy make trouble and statements all over the world while gaining support and materials for a revolution, and Aceryn Dougall is selected to undergo a reversal of the Helix treatment in order to be able to 'think outside the box' and find these criminals before they upset the whole of the new world order. When he sees the world through their eyes, and understands what they intend to do and why, though, will he carry out his mission? Or join the enemy?
