How "First Head" Came to Be

by H.S. Donnelly

Cryogenics companies are more than willing to freeze you when you die. The only drawback is that, currently, there is no way to successfully thaw out and bring you back to life. Still, there is the chance that at some point in the future science will solve that problem and people will be revived, cured of whatever, and then will resume their lives.

But even the freezing process is complicated. Water expands as it freezes (which, of course, is why ice forms on the top of a lake, rather than at the bottom). So preventing cell rupture (cells being mostly made of water) is difficult if you are chilling someone down to −320.4°F. So to simplify the freezing process (and potential revival later on), only the person’s head is preserved.

First Head came to me when I read about Ted Williams being cryogenically frozen. Many SF stories have used some sort of vaguely described suspended animation, usually as a device to allow people to go on a really, really long voyage to another solar system. But here, finally, was a process that almost sounded, well, plausible.

Thus, First Head began unfolding. As I thought about it, I asked myself the usual What if ... question, as in, What if you had a society where cryogenics was part of everyday life? One of the things I wondered about was how a revived person would get a body. One conclusion I came to was that it would be much easier to thaw out a frozen Head than, say, hydroponically grow a body to attach that Head to. So there would be many heads competing for a much smaller number of bodies. And if that were true, how would they decide whom to attach?

First Head unfolds through the eyes of a man who suddenly wakes up in a society where cryogenics has become routine. Rather mysteriously he has no memory of being frozen, nor what he had been doing in his prior life. As he goes through the cultural adjustment process in the Revivology Facility, he slowly realizes that he is going to have to come up with a reason as to why he, specifically, deserves to be attached to a body.

On another level, First Head is about an organization that, superficially, claims to care about the individual, but in reality couldn’t care less. Of the people who have reviewed and critiqued this story, a few of them have really, really liked the story. I think that this aspect of the story is what appealed to them.

Thanks so much for joining us today, Mr. Donnelly!

SSP Anthology Extravaganza for The End Was Not the End: Guest Post with Deedee Davies and Giveaway

About the Book:

TITLE: The End Was Not the End: Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy Tales 

EDITOR: Joshua H. Leet

PUBLISHER: Seventh Star Press
PUBLICATION DATE: March 26, 2013

FORMAT: Paperback, 306 pages

GENRE: Fantasy
ISBN: 9781937929077

Heroes prevail… usually. You sit close to a campfire, depending on its faint, flickering light to ward off the darkness. Yet the fire cannot hold back dark memories, thoughts of your fallen kingdom, of monsters across the land, of magic gone awry. Around fires like yours are seated other travelers, refugees from catastrophes none dare mention. Kings and queens huddle shoulder to shoulder with peasants, wizards share scraps with slaves, and each wishes only to be saved.

Some will be lucky, for heroes yet remain in their lands. For others, hope was not among the provisions stuffed into a pack when fleeing home. Eventually the silence of the night grows too heavy, and someone speaks. They tell a tale of loss, of foolish pride and tragic mistake. With bravery stoked by company, others speak up, each sharing their own sorrows. Before long, there are enough tales to fill a volume.

The conversations continue through the night, and by the time dawn has filtered through the gnarled tree limbs, journeys must continue, and one by one, the strangers trudge away. Their worlds may have ended, but they have survived another night. They will continue on, seeking to rebuild upon the ruins of great dreams. Their stories linger upon the air, drifting into time like the smoke from their extinguished fires, fed only by faint embers.

This book contains eleven stories set in worlds where an apocalypse has already come, but the characters you’ll read about aren’t quite ready for the end.

Welcome to Darlene's Book Nook, Deedee!

The Halls of War

by Deedee Davies

This story started out as a comic strip about eight years ago. I had a drawing that I did back when I was about 15 of a woman in impractical armour, and, about 15 years later, I dug out the drawing, decided to give her a bit of an upgrade, and design her a boyfriend. As I was doodling away, a story started to materialise for the both of them, and I quickly got it down into a (rather badly-drawn) comic strip.

I got about 9 pages into it when the scenes in my head got a bit challenging for my limited comic-strip drawing skills, and around the same time, I found that the dialogue and story text I was writing for it was becoming increasingly verbose. So I decided to start turning it into a proper story. I hit a brick wall. I had started writing it in the first person, present tense (i.e. Vronn's point of view), talking directly to the second person (poor old dead Achoris), which made a lot of the scenes quite difficult to write.

I abandoned the story for years, occasionally dipping back in to attempt to push it along, but failing. It was only when I saw the Seventh Star Press open submission post for post-apocalyptic fantasy tales that I finally got the motivation to hunker down and get the entire story roughed out. I'd never actually decided on the end for my comic strip, you see! I introduced Gerrard as a potential love-interest for Vronn, and made Felain an even nastier piece of work than she had been in the original. Once the outline was properly in place, the rest started to fall together quite nicely, although still in the 'first person, present tense, talking direct to the second person' format.

Once I'd got to the point where I couldn't actually read the story any more, I passed it along to a friend whose writing skills I admire greatly, who tactfully pointed out that they had no idea of the gender of the main character until half-way through the story... Ahem. My brain was still in comic book mode, you see, and I never thought anyone would need telling that my main character was female when she was wearing that boob-shaped breastplate!

So I went through and made a bunch of changes, making it clear that Vronn was in fact a lady, and clearing up a bunch of other anomalies. I also made the decision to overhaul the writing tense, changing it from present to past, and talking about Achoris in the third, rather than second person. I left one bit of the original tense in at the end, leaving it as Vronn's final dialogue with Achoris before she consigns him to the flames.

While I was re-editing, I also got the urge to do some more artwork of the two main characters, choosing the moment when they stand together and fight the horde of Summoned. So if anyone wants to know how I visualised Vronn and Achoris, there's a picture here.

The comic strip (such as it is!) is still available on my DeviantArt page here, and includes some variations on plot that weren't included in the final version of the story. Warning for really bad artwork!

As a final note, I'm really grateful to Seventh Star Press for giving me the kick in the pants I needed to get this story out of my head and onto paper (and into print!). I'm not sure what else would have done it!

Thanks so much for joining us today, Deedee!
