'Isaac?' >>> 'She could only hope they had not.' Yes I've started and stayed the course of Chapter 5 Draft 0. So I'm up speed with the story so far and, having persuaded B to instruct the Treasurers to stump up for a Subscription to get me inside The Paywall, I'm heading Behind the Scenes to get a sense of just how this story is being extruded onto its pages.
Maybe we'll be sharing POVs here when when we had have Chapter 6 land, in plain sight and fully accessible to view, here in this thread? If so, know I'm looking forward to it.
So, in this second leg, the scrolling pages have travelled me from 'The rain was pelting down, slicking the tarmac, as if with sweat.' >>> '‘But it’s Isaac. He’s… he’s dead.’
I'm beginning to get a sense of the geography that's emerging as the words are extruded in the text of Draft 0. The setting, so far, is urban. The ride the Toni character takes to reach The Death Zone evidences, in addition to places, the tell tale urban elements of paths, edges, districts, nodes and landmarks. The Death Zone has turned out to be an entertainment venue not district, The location and name of this urban place is not revealed.
Apart from it being night there is, so far no sense of the time in which the story is set - present, or future, or past are open questions.
Whether time and place will become any clearer is moot: there is a sense of the surreal about this breaking story. Is it a real or an imaginary urban world?
So far three characters Toni, Isaac (Deceased) and Leah have materialised and some details, snippets really, are known to the reader by the end of Chapter 2.
Nothing urgent to report to B. I'll stick with the story at least through Chapter 3, curious to know if Leah turns out to know what to do but uncertain that there is need of cold case operative like me to be in play.

I would like to see some context for what the Death Zone is. Is this a futuristic story? I can't get a feel for the story setting.
