WRITTEN AWAITING ART TEAM

“Fear of Flying ”
Story: Michael San Giacomo & Connor Willumsen
Writer: Michael San Giacomo
Art Team: TBD
Unusal collaboration here. Michael crafted a story that sounded very similar to a tale suggested by Connor Willumsen. Using elememts from both stories, it's ultimately being presented as a sequel to Micah Farritor's "Falling Fast." After the events of the original tale, the witness decides flight was never meant for mankind and keeps his feet on the ground.

"Routine"
Writer: Mike Blaylock

"Untitled"
Writer: Dino Caruso

“Liftoff Takedown”
Writer: Wilfredo S. Duran
An assassin takes his best shot at getting his target in a flying human world. What could be a simple run of the mill action piece has become an engrossing tale with lasting consquences. Easily the most violent tale of the entire Bizarre New World project!

"Eagles High"
Writer: Dan Hill
In the skies of World War 2 chivalry was not yet an endangered species. Over the course of the conflict two aces on opposite sides of the war, Manfred Schwarz and Gordon Stone, grew a mutual respect for one another. They faced each other many times, neither man ever gaining a clear victory. After the war ended the two found each other and became close friends. They would meet in a small village in France every year to talk and reminisce about battles and years gone by. This year everything is different. The story takes place a year after the 'outbreak' and charts the annual meeting between the two as they reflect on and recreate the battles that brought them both together.

"Turbulence of the Heart"
Writer: Maxwell "Splatoon" Patterson
Set a few years after the majority of the population has taken flight, a commercial pilot reacts a bit harshly to the sudden increase in biological air-traffic. He originally took the job because he enjoyed the freedom and tranquility it offered, now he has to deal with tourists, thrill-seekers, hippies and swingers strapping on oxygen masks and hanging out at 30,000 ft. Combined with his natural anti-social tendencies, the result is an even deeper level of bitterness, as he's deprived of the one act that used to bring him joy. It's a salty little yarn filled with dark humor.

"The Museum"
Writer: Troy Dye
Art Team: TBD
Taking place a few years after the events of "Population Explosion," Paul and Sean take a trip to the Getty Museum to see the human flight exhibit. Sean being a bit older is still dealing with his inability to fly.
