the lantern seems to be amazed by Atlantis's beauty, I do not blame him. The first time I saw the city was, was a magical moment. It is the most magical thing I've ever seen. The lights, the people, the atmosphere, it can never be replicated. Once at the city gates we both stop. They are torn open, leaving the city wide open. We enter swiftly, seeing broken weapons and… dead guards.
Arthur - I…
The lantern places his hand on my shoulder.
John - We'll take him down. I promise.
I nod and begin to head forward. We swim through the wreckage and make our way to the palace. The doors are open, but an army of guards stand tall. Once they see us, the open their formation, letting us in. Inside we see Orm, Mera, and Murk.
Mera - Arthur, you are back.
Murk - My king, there was a man with a prototype whip. He obliterated the guards. Is this the Lantern.
Arthur - Yes, this is John. John meet Murk, Orm, and my wife Mera. This is all caused by an alien parasite who took over an Atlantean. He used the Manhunters as his army.
Orm - So what do you propose we do? He is currently in the science center. He locked it down like his personal fortress.
John - Then we need to siege it. He may be powerful, but me and Aquaman can handle him.
Orm - Aqua...man?
Murk - It is his superhero name to the surface world.
Orm looks down shaking his head. I give a look to Mera who looks scared, she has every right to be. This is the 4th attack on Atlantis within months. Maybe it is me. Maybe I am not fit for king.
John - Arthur, we need to get a move on to the science center. We need to stop him before he destroys Coast City.
Orm - Destroys Coast City? Is this the Manhunters you spoke of?
John - Yeah, Fisherman had an insanely high iq, he hacked all of them from the prison he was in.
Orm - Interesting, you will need to be very cautious then, for he could turn the Science Center into a living deathmaze.
Arthur - Right then, let us go.
John turns and begins to head out. Mera places her hand on my shoulder, giving me a smile.
Mera - Be careful Arthur, this kingdom needs you.
I nod before I head out. We begin to make our way to the science center, where we see weapons mounted and armed. I look at the lantern, who blasts the turrets that are in front of the entrance, allowing us in. We step inside, seeing an array of destroyed equipment. To our relief, in front of us we see him, no death maze, no traps. Just us versus him.
He moves his hand downwards, extending the whip in his hand. I raise my trident and the lantern lights up his fist. We stare at him for a few seconds before he begins to run at us. Flailing his whip, he wraps it around my trident, and begins sending electricity through my body. He yanked the whip, pulling the trident from my hands. The lantern sends a blast of energy out, but the Fisherman raises my trident, absorbing the energy. Using my water hand, I create a sword and begin to slash away at our enemy, but he continues using my trident as a defensive tool. When I leave my side open, he uses the whip to strike, sending me flying into the wall. He then slams the whip down onto the Lantern's shoulder, taking him down from the air.
Arthur - We can't hit him, my water hand can't get past the trident.
John - Can't you just call it back to you?
I shake my head as I stand up. I look in front of me to see the Fisherman spinning his whip, slashing the ground as he does. He drags the trident on the floor leaving scratch marks as he does.
Right as he makes it to me, he performs an overhead swing with the trident. Lantern is able to form a barrier over me, sparing me from the strike. Fisherman quickly launches the whip towards him but using my water hand, I create a hook that cuts his hand off.
Fisherman - AGHGHHHGHGHH!
With this opening, Green Lantern creates a hammer that slams onto his body, causing him to drop the trident. I roll out if cover, retrieving my weapon and stand next to my ally.
The Fisherman raises up from the ground, grabbing the whip with his remaining hand. He sends the whip out once more but this time I catch it with my water hand. He begins to pulse electricity but it doesn't ever connect to me. I pull, bringing him towards us, allowing us both to hit him with an uppercut simultaneously. His body flies backwards, into the wall, he is finally beaten.
Well I decided to make something else due to me losing my last WIP and this is the outcome, I'll keep the window open if anyone has ideas for improvements
Finally we got a little snow today. But it´s already gone again.
Frisbee loved it, so he hope we will get some more this winter.

Sad story about this one. I set this up on my bed because the subtle lighting from the window seems to be the best for stuff like this. As I was finishing up, I thought I would try a macro looking down in the glass. I got too close and it tipped over, hitting the floor shattering into hundreds of pieces. I was shocked that it broke so easily, since it landed on padded carpeting. Getting explored takes away some of the sting.

This was my view waking up this morning, as my sister and I slept the night on the hospital floor next to my Mum who is under palliative care.
In tough times the kindness of someone can mean so much - we have been blessed with incredibly kind and caring people in the hospital where mum is.
Mum is the patient - but they have been caring for the whole family. And they were very helpful in letting my sister and I sleep at mum’s side during the night.
My sister and I were saying we haven’t had a night sleeping in a room with my mother for 40 years - and it was incredibly comforting to us both to talk as we lay listening to Mum.
It is a strange time full of emotion and practical concerns - and just making sure Mum is as comfortable as she can be.
This evening I’ve been sitting next to Mum reading out to her some Flickr comments and describing some of the photos I wish she could see.
Tonight my sister and I will sleep together by her side. And we’ll see what tomorrow brings.
[Hub City Cemetery, Hub City - 8:10 AM.]
“Hello Mr. Lawton, my name is Jeremiah Daniel. I need you to assassinate someone for me.”
“How much are you offering?” I ask, sitting in my car.
“How much do you want?” He says.
I scoff. This dude seems filthy rich. What would I know, though. I’ve been on the phone with him for less than five minutes.
“Depends on who you want down.” I reply
“His name is Kody Manchester. Drug dealer. He scammed me on a deal. I’ll send you the details.” Just then, a notification pops up on my car screen.
“How’d you..” I mumble to myself as I click the notification.
The file shows a man with brown long hair, a beard, and ragged clothing. Age 26. 5’11. Seems like he was a crackhead. Canadian. Immigrated to America when 5 years of age. Damn, this file has everything on this guy. I keep the file on, and continue to talk to Jeremiah.
“When and where?” I ask
“Tomorrow, He’ll be making a drug deal at 59th Kane Street. In the back alley of a breakfast restaurant called ‘Bob’s Breakfast Burritos’. I’ll give you 2 Mil. Deal or not?” He responds.
“Deal. See you tomorrow then.” I say. I hang up the phone, and drive away.
I drive into the parkway of my house, park my car, and get out. It’s rather upsetting to be forced to leave this beautiful house and city. Though it is for my own safety, wouldn’t want Waller bothering me again. As I walk into my house, i find a package with my name on it. I raise an eyebrow and bring it inside. I grab a knife and open up the package. I see a pair of gloves, an armor chest piece, and a pair of armored pants. I take them out, and at the bottom of the box there’s a note and a USB.
“You’ll need this for the mission.”
-Jeremiah Daniel
Seems as if i’m gonna be doing some pretty heavy duty stuff. Well then, better get prepped for tomorrow then. I should probably do some research on my next victim. I start to make my way into my living room, where my computer is along with some dirty dishes I never really bothered to pick up before leaving to New York. I move the dirty dishes to the side, open up the computer, and insert the USB. It shows a picture of the kid, along with all his criminal records, his address, info about his mother, father, and even more. Sad that i’m gonna have to take this kid out. He took the wrong path, and it got him into some serious shit. Ah well, shit happens. I close my computer, take the USB out, and make my way upstairs. I throw my computer on my bed, sit on my bed, and grab the remote. I start surfing through the channels, nothing peeks my interest. I decide to get out of the house for a little bit, since I’ve got nothing to do till tomorrow. I walk out of my house, lock it, and make my way to my car.
The rest of the day I did pretty much nothing. Went to get something to eat, looked at some possible places to move, got some new clothing (Because i’m somehow lacking that.), visited my daughter, just everyday things. I got back to my house at about 9 PM. Went to bed at midnight.
[Bob’s Breakfast Burritos, Hub City - 7:00 AM]
I’ve been sitting on the rooftop of Bob’s Breakfast Burritos for an hour or two. Got my breakfast from here. Just setting up for when he comes. My comms are on at all times incase if Jeremiah needs to inform me on anything. I finish up my burrito and soda before sliding my helmet back on. As I clip my helmet on, I see a man in white motorcycle gear and a skeleton face mask speed into the alleyway with a motorcycle. He parks his motorcycle and takes his helmet and mask off, revealing my target. He’s holding a green suitcase- the item i need to retrieve. Another man- blackish grey hair and beard with a hoodie on and hands in his pocket- approaches him. Most likely the buyer. Plan of attack, take buyer out first, approach Kody, take the green briefcase, and kill him. Probably not gonna turn out how i want it to, but i’ll never know if i don’t try. As i get in position, they start to talk.
“You got the stuff?” The man says, as he starts to sniff nervously.
”You got the money?” Kody responds.
“Yeh, i do.” he states as he begins to open up a duffel bag, with tons of money. Kody forms a huge grin on his face. He looks up to the man, then opens up the briefcase. Tons of drugs.
Right when they start to trade bags, I pull the trigger on the buyer. Kody’s face becomes worried as he looks up at me. He curses to himself as he starts to put his facemask on along with his helmet and grabbing both bags. He drives away before i can take the kill shot. I quickly jump off of the roof, and onto my motorcycle- which was hidden behind the building. I start to chase him on my motorcycle. We drive through several red stop lights, almost getting hit by some cars. He turns left, and i almost lose him. We eventually get to a dead end. As he curses to himself, i aim my wrist gun at him. He takes his mask and helmet off.
“Hand over the briefcase, Kid” I state, ready for fire.
”A-alright, man. Just please, don’t kill me.” he begs.
He slides the green briefcase over. As i hesitantly bend down to open up the briefcase while still aiming for a kill shot, he quickly tries to escape by climbing the walls. I shoot him on his leg, making him fall down. He groans in pain, almost looking like he’s crying.
”Please, don’t kill me. I’ve got a family. M-my mom’s dying of cancer and i’m just trying to pay off her medical bills. C’mon man, just please..” He says, breaking out into tears.
“Sorry, kid. You took the wrong path. If you would’ve just stayed in school and been a normal kid, this wouldn’t happen.” I respond, ready to shoot him. He quickly grabs my wrist, and twists it before i can shoot him. I fall to the floor, but before he escapes, i grab my pistol from my holster, and shoot him. Tears run down his lifeless face as he falls to the ground.
“Again, i’m sorry kid. You gotta do what you gotta do.” I say, as i grab both bags, and leave Kody’s body there to rot.
I pull up to the location that Jeremiah wants to meet me at, which is a huge house. I park my motorcycle, grab both bags, and make my way to the door. I press the doorbell, with someone immediately opening up the door for me.
“Mr. Lawton, Jeremiah is waiting for you in his office. First door to the right.” The woman says with a smile. I mumble thanks and make my way into his office.
“Floyd, I presume you’ve executed the mission perfectly, going off of your previous missions.” He says, as he has grips both his hands together.
I take my helmet off, and start to speak.
“Killed Manchester, got the briefcase along with the duffel bag of money. Yeah.” I respond. He smiles.
“Excellent. Thank you, Mr. Lawton. Now, as promised, your pay.” he says, reaching down to grab a briefcase. He flips it open, and goes through all the money. It’s all real.
“2 Million. Thanks.” I comment, as i make my way out.
“Before you go, Mr. Lawton. I’ve got a proposition for you.” He says before i walk out. I step back into the office.
“I’m listening.”
“How would you like if I hired you full time to work for me, as a hitman.” he states. I smirk, and put my helmet on.
“When do we start?”

The half yeard is done. To commemorate it before I shave it off, I thought I'd grab my cat and take a rather ridiculous portrait of them both. Goodbye, half yeard. It was nice knowing you.
From the tradititional Berber house where we stopped for a tajine meal before hiking up into the Tighza valley.
6/2019 - Bridgeport, NJ
SLRS 9069 Baldwin DS4-4-1000 is the last PRR Baldwin in existence. It was built in 1949 and painted back into brunswick green in 2007. In this shot, 9069 is heading to a customer siding to pick up a flatcar.
On location with permission.
Week six left me standing on a ledge seven stories above the street for this shot....a leap would result in a splat, but I was double dog dared....
(2003)
He'll be thrilled, ecstatic. This is what he's wanted since he was born, for us to be at peace with the surface world.
I make my way to his room, the door is shut. I open it slowly.
Arthur - A.J? Wake up I have big news! Great news!
I flick on the lights then turn my head to…
I stare at my son, covered in blood. His fingers broken off, teeth pulled out, one of his eyes hanging out of its socket.
??? - Sound sleeper isn't he?
I look up to see man with a glowing red eyes speak to me.
??? - The poor boy screamed for his daddy to save him, but the device on the wall drained out all sound. Don't be mad, I made sure I took good care of him.
I charge at him with tears draining from my eyes but he blasts me back with rays coming from his eyes. I get back up and try and punch him but he grabs wrist. He headbutts me.
??? - You took my father away from me, so I took his father from him.
Arthur - Who… are… you?
He raises his right arm to the air and extends a blade from it.
Black Manta - You'll remember me as the Black Manta!
He slashes his blade across my wrist, cutting my hand clean off.
Arthur - Aggggghaggggh!
He let's go of my wrist letting me fall to my knees. Murk and Orm burst through the door. Murk looks at me, then A.J, then charges Manta. Manta blasts him into Orm, then blows a hole in the wall. He turns around and salutes to me before escaping the palace. I look at A.J’s body before passing out unconscious.
I wake up in a hospital bed in the medical center. I look around, seeing Kaldur watching over me.
Kaldur - My King! He is awake!
Mera and Orm come running Murk soon after.
Mera - Oh god Arthur… our baby, he's gone.
Orm - We will find whoever did this, and they will pay the ultimate price.
Arthur - How… did he… get in…
Murk - We don't know. I've reviewed the security camera footage from the gate and the palace, it's like he was a ghost.
Kaldur - We… are preparing a funeral for A.J. Arthur I am so sorry for your loss.
Arthur - Everyone leave me and my wife.
Everyone but Mera leaves the room. I watch tears run down her face. I raise my arm to hold her hand but, my hand is no longer there. I slam my fist into the wall out of frustration.
Arthur - This is my fault. The man, his name is Black Manta. When I first went to make peace with the UN it was attacked by a man in a black suit name Manta. I killed him on accident, the man that killed our son said that I took his father away from him, so he is taking me from A.J.
Mera - None of this is your fault Arthur, you stopped a murderer. This is just another murderer trying to fulfill his shoes.
At that moment the doors barge open. Hila comes storming in.
Kaldur - They said they wanted a mo…
Hila - Shut up nerd, I'm here to see my sister who just lost her son.
Mera and her hug. She sits down next to her.
Hila - I'm so sorry I couldn't be here sooner, I'm so sorry for your loss.
She places her hand on my wrist.
Hila - If I were here I could've stopped him.
Arthur - No, he was stronger than strong. You could've just been killed, or lost something.
She sits there, holding Mera as she cries. As I feel the pain of regret.
-----(2003)-----
I place the sonar displacement device down in the sand, sending a sonic waves against the radars allowing me to sneak past. Once I am around 100 meters out from the gate, I raise my wrist sending a small dart towards one of the cameras short circuiting all of them in the grid, reprogramming them to be playing a loop.
I swim to the wall and place a device on the floor. It begins to drill a small whole all the way to the palace. I swim into the whole and exit outside of the palace water barrier. I step inside, and use my grapple to get to the ceiling. I active my suction armor and crawl over to the the Prince's room. I drop down and open the door slowly. I place a sound disruptor on the wall, stopping any sound from exiting the room.
Black Manta - Wakey Wakey Junior…
I extend the blade out of my forearm.
Black Manta - We have a lot planned for tonight.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I am getting everything ready here for Mitchell coming over tonight. We will be having home cooked fried chicken, mac and cheese and brocolli. :)
