“Leechers” is a sci-fi graphic novel, that’s scripted to be about seventy pages long. It’s about a colony ship, called the Destiny, that’s set on a course for a New World, yet to be inhabited. Only it will take over 200 years to reach it. The story, itself, isn’t about the colonist, who are fast asleep in their cryo chambers, but rather about the engineers that get awakened every five years. It is about the dark secret that passes on amongst members and also the strange mystery of the shadows. Something else seems to be awake with them. In all this is one of my favorite stories. The original name I was going to use was “Echo Walkers”, named after the profession of the engineers. They would walk the bulkheads of the ship listening for echoes. Simply put, if you hear something other than a hum, then the engines are failing and something needs correction. The concept was that the ship was so big that these guys spent days traveling these huge halls of steel on very dark and very narrow ramps. Above them, you could barely see the ships ceiling, and below was a long drop. So traveling a creepy corridor by yourself, with no weapon, was the eerie aura that I wanted to create. It lead’s the characters into imagining things. Unfortunately, for them what they think they’re seeing isn’t false and this leads to a lot of untimely deaths as the controversy spreads amongst them. I don’t want to give away too much. I am currently working on this and hope it turns out well. If not…then there is always Tess 2000.
