Logline

Two mythological heroes play a game that decides the fate of the Mediterranean. The victor gets to return to this world, where the Etrusco-Phoenician Empire fights to maintain its maritime dominance and thwart imperialism from the Greeks, who expand westward to insulate themselves from the Achaemenids.


The following is the first draft of my latest story, written to be adapted for the screen, or even for the stage. I will be posting it for my own archival benefit as I go, and then I will compile it into one final document when it is ready to be published in whole. But you, as a member of this Substack, will have access to the story as I create it, and those interested can see part of my process. Bump some music like this and enjoy Part 2!
