Science fiction is full of first contact stories, but is there a such thing as LAST contact? Decide exactly what that means, and write about it.

Icarus Christopher Carlisle was born in Chicago, Illinois, on 6th November 1982 to Perseus Christopher Carlisle, a world-renowned actor, and Mary Winnifred Carlisle (nĂ©e Fontaine), a professor and artist. He is their only son. He currently lives in Brooklyn, New York, where he works as a detective for the NYPD. Heâs also a pianist, playing charity shows at least once a year, but he is more prevalently known as a medium. At 13 years old, he was in a fatal accident that had him declared dead for four minutes, yet after having miraculously awoken, he was bestowed with the gift of mediumship and a year later set off on a nationwide tour in which he delivered messages from the dead to loved ones in the audience. It was a quick sell-out and was entitled âIcarus Carlisle: Boy, Resurrectedâ.

B O Y , R E S U R R E C T E D ; an original story
â At 11:56pm, Icarus Carlisle was pronounced dead. But Icarus Carlisle was not meant to die. â
After playing âBoy, Resurrectedâ, Icarus wanted nothing more than to lead a normal life (or as normal as possible as one could with a world famous father) and without thinking he signed up to be a detective. He found his place, finally feeling like he belonged somewhere and finally feeling like he could do some true good in the world.
Naturally his stint as a former theatre star, relaying messages from the dead to their loved ones in the audience, was always going to haunt him and wherever he went the words âspirit kidâ or âBoy, Resurrectedâ followed. It was a disease of the mind, of the past, but Icarus was adamant that it wasnât going to bring him down.
But itâs not long until he has worse to worry about. With corruption amongst his colleagues rife, with a string of grizzly murders playing out like some twisted game, and with his relationship with his father turning bitter, Icarus seeks help from the only people he knows he can trust: the dead. A fateful encounter with a woman who has prophetic dreams can also give him hope in a world where darkness seems to fall quicker than is natural and the two of them embark on a dangerous, vicious mission to bring justice to those who deserve it. Before itâs too lateâŠ

[This idea has been rattling in my brain and I had to share it.]
I know we all love the âhumans are space orcsâ concept⊠but imagine, onboard the new ship theyâve been assigned to, the human meets an actual space orc. A massive monster⊠fangs and tusks and scars and a battle-hardened stare, looming over all the other life forms on the ship in its thick indestructible armour it refuses to remove. It barely drinks, it doesnât need sleep, its massive shoulders are heavy with the terrible things it has experienced. Compared to the squishy & delicate human body, this thing is a walking tank.
⊠Except instead of hating/ignoring one another, the human and the monster start bonding over both coming from death planets. The human is excited to find a life form who doesnât quiver with fear at the vague description of a jellyfish and the monster is ecstatic to meet someone who understands the feeling of being bitten by a quaâlem (cats are pretty close). They sit together and compare dangerous animals and locations as the other aliens look on in confusion and fear⊠oh, you also have dense jungles of deadly hidden predators, boiling acid lakes, tamed predatory killers, and areas with horrendously high and low temperatures? Sick!!Â
It doesnât take long before the two of them become totally inseparable. The human loves not feeling like some kind of crazy outsider and the monster is overjoyed theyâve finally found an equal in this unkillable marshmallow.
Monster: When I was a youngling, a grol-lik stung straight through my armour. The pain lasted for approximately 16 human hours.
Human: Oh yeah man, I get that. As a kid I got a wasp stuck in my shirt. It stung me like four times, it was awful, and all my cousins just laughed at meâŠ
Monster: [using their arm screen to research human courting methods] I see.

sorry about disappearing again! truth be told I lost interest in hphm/hphl. due to this, I am going to make some changes to my blog (to make it my main/general instead of just hp focused). though Iâll still be around in the fandom (liking/rebloging/etc) and I may make a sideblog to store my hp stuff.Â
the first thing Iâm do is change my url (when I decide on a new one). so I guess this is a kind of heads-up?
