I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?"

The Charming Monkey

, ,

After playing Hotel Dusk Room 215 on the DS recently, I've become quite interested in Noir fiction. I already tried my hand at it (albeit in a tongue in cheek way) in the prologue to my review of the game. I really enjoyed writing that so much, so I'm going to attempt at writing a bit more. My plan is to write a story on my blog. I guess it's not going to be true Noir as I don't intend on it being that dark. A lighter Noir, if you will. A kind of Gris. I have a few ideas about the plot and characters, but I haven't planned that much of the story. I'm going to see where it takes me - it's a bit of an adventure.

The various parts can be reached via the links below (hit read more), and hopefully I'll be adding to it on a regular occasion. I have no doubt that there'll be the odd cliché, and it's very much a work in progress. Oh and a big thanks to JKing for the awesome CSS help!
