    Michael Carter

    My hometown is Jacksonville, Alabama I currently live in Lagrange , Ga . I'm married to my beautiful and wonderful wife Rebecca Carter and I have 5 children they are the center of my world . I'm an avid Hunter and fisherman and love being in the outdoors . I grew up simple and not having much but I never went without . Like many of you, those hard times coming up shaped my life and I am thankful everyday for the lessons learned along the way! Writing and publishing books has always been a desire of mine and this age of technology has made it much more attainable with the introduction of ebooks. I was born on October 5, 1978 , I also love college football and of course being from Alabama I am a diehard Alabama fan! Being raised in the south also makes me a Nascar fan.

      I spot him immediately when I walk into the bar. He smiles at me like he knows me, despite the fact this is a blind date and we’ve never met before. Nerves take hold of my body and my hands begin to tremble as I approach him. “Hi,” he says. “Hi, um,

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      SELECTED MAILS FROM SENDER: Stanley James

      RECIEVED BY MAJESTIC SECTION 44- {TOP SECRET, TOP CLEARANCE ONLY, READ ONLY ENABLED]

      ORIGINAL SOURCE DOCUMENT – [37 EMAILS – 1 ATTACHMENT] – CORRUPTED

      MAIL#00 1 – received 15 October 2029

      Ok, well here’s my report that you’ve been waiting for. I’m not really sure what’s gonna happen in the next few days. I don’t know what you’ve got lined up for me, but I’m gonna play my part well, I know that for sure. I’m mentioning my part, so I can mention the money, upfront, just to remind you, whoever it is that’s reading this, whichever representative of Majestic it is that’s dealing with me, to not forget about it. I’ve gotten the first chunk – very generous, thank you very much – but just don’t forget the balance, ok. Remember, you said one of the reasons you hired me above the other candidates, apart from being a fantastic coder, is for my straight-talking. Well, I’m straight-talking now. I’ll tell you everything you want to know in these mails, but don’t forget the cash, lads; don’t forget my money.

      Well, I’ve read through the Briefing that you supplied and I understand what it is you want from me, what you want me to find out. But I ain’t gonna answer every point you make in a numbered list like that one you gave me. No sir, far too boring; I’m just gonna write. I’m in the city, as I write this, in Carthage Bar; the ale is real and expensive, but I can afford it now. I needed a stiff drink after the day I’ve had. But that’s what you want to know about, ain’t it? My day. Well, sorry if I’m boring you with irrelevancy, but that’s the way its gonna be. I’m gonna take the time to get down everything I remember, so I’m getting in the mood. And I hope you’re pleased with my writing; you wanted someone young, but someone old enough to not write in that bloody lay-z, awfl qikspeek shyt tht al th yuns ryt thees dayz. God, if I had to write like that, I’d go crazy. Anyway, if some new admin guy at your place can’t read my reports then I suggest you fire them and hire someone else who can, someone old-school. Anyway, lets get on.

      I was scheduled to start work at STAR at three o’clock in the afternoon, my first shift, but one of them came by my place to pick me up a couple of hours earlier.

      Hey there. You Stanley James? he said at the door, and didn’t wait for an answer. I’m O’Brien from STAR. Now I know you weren’t expecting me coming for you but the thing is we’ve got a job on now and could do with the hands, buddy.

      I ain’t had my training or anything yet. I wouldn’t know what I was doing. I said.

      Training on the job, dude. No time to start like right now. Listen, I’m parked on the bottom in the black Smile. I wanna get back to it before someone takes my wheels. He grimaced then, and his gaze moved around the floor, looking at the scratched graffiti and the patchy paintwork, the knackered elevator and the general grey decorum. You know, I used to live in a pit like this in Borough said O’Brien. I know, it’s depressing, man. Wait till you get your first pay check buddy and you’ll be away from this shithole.

      I don’t mind it really. It’s pretty quiet. I- But he was away towards the stairs.

      Ten mins, buddy, he called back at me, I’ll be outside. Get a shifty on, yeah. Then he was gone, giving me no chance at all to argue
