Hello Grandmother,
Writing to you isn’t easy. I know you’re out there, and you don’t know who I am. I can’t even be certain you’re reading this now. But it’s necessary to keep things anonymous, because there are people out to get me, and if they knew who you were, they’d be out to get you [...]

Hello Grandmother,
I’m starting to learn the ins and outs of the robot community. The Alternate has a strong distribution system that gives it a powerful sway over most of the west coast robots. However, the Alternate’s OS is not the only operating system available. Asia’s been conquered by robots for over a decade, and the [...]

Hello Grandmother,
I don’t speak any alien languages. I remember growing up wondering why any species with interstellar travel would want to come all the way to this planet to live, but these days I’m starting to see that maybe they had it worse somewhere else. After all, life on this planet is pretty nice on [...]

Hello Grandmother,
Following the Illuminati means I get to see some crazy parties. It also means that sometimes I get to sneak into them. That’s what happened last night. It was the usual Illuminati insanity; rich people doing the strangest drugs, sex and general debauchery they could find. Fascinating to watch, from an anthropological stand point, [...]

Hello Grandmother,
I’m starting to wonder if there even is an Illuminati killer. It’s hard to work in the night and not see ghosts everywhere. What if there is no one going after the Illuminati after all? The note I have made it out that Jakob was a member of a cult, not that I can [...]

Hello Grandmother,
I’m trying to decipher a map. It’s not a hidden map, not a secret, but one I don’t think that anyone outside the vampire hegemony has put much thought into. It’s the new map of the world.
The Vampires overthrew the Illuminati, and took over the world. But vampires aren’t like the old human rulers. [...]

Hello Grandmother,
When I was a kid, it always seemed like you were so well travelled, even though you’d only ever been as far east as the Grand Canyon. You seemed to know so much about the world, though I guess it was a small world for us then. Course none of that makes any sense [...]

Hello Grandmother,
Something big just happened in the world behind the curtain. The Vampire bureaucracy has arrested someone for the murder of Jakob Lawrence. Less than twenty four hours after shutting down the investigation into his death. As if that wasn’t suspicious enough, they’ve arrested someone I’m fairly sure didn’t do it. Or at least didn’t [...]

Hello Grandmother,
I think the concept of bureaucracy was designed to be run from the shadows. That way the people at the top have no accountability to what’s going on below. The investigation into the death of Jakob Lawrence has suddenly ceased. What’s the explanation, I don’t know, I may as well ask the shadows.
The ridiculous [...]

Hello Grandmother,
I’m not sure how to classify what I learned today, or what was suggested to me. All I know is it makes things stranger.
I had a run in with the robot junk dealer Flux today. Funny how it was able to remember my face so well, when its details of Jakob Lawrence were so [...]
