King of Earth and Moon-a podcast novel

Google doc of the text so far. The Kid was, like, totally not amped about being choked.nbsp; The Kid couldn't breathe.nbsp; He was into breathing, in a big way, so this robot was totally, like, killing his good time.nbsp; The robot had a good grip.nbsp; Its hands had better dexterity than the Kid had expected.nbsp; Whoever made this robot had done a pretty good job, expect for the part where the robot came in and started choking him. The Kid grabbed the robot's arms.nbsp; It was tough for his hands to find purchase on the smooth metal; it felt like the thing had been coated in Teflon.nbsp; Like, who puts Teflon on their robots?

Apocalypse Dowell wanted to pretend that he didn't know Mick Aloha, but it was too late.nbsp; Several passengers had seen Aloha, the Kid, and Dowell arguing about their seats, arguing like a group of kids.nbsp; The police would find out soon enough that they knew each other; lying would only make the situation worse. Although it had gotten him through security back in San Francisco, he didn't trust his new passport.nbsp; Dowell had been given the name Charles Chaplin, a name sure to raise suspicions everywhere, except perhaps Japan.nbsp; He needed a quiet flight so that they could slip through customs and immigration without raising suspicions.nbsp; What he got was Mick Aloha, madman and troublemaker, who was now choking a small Asian man in the back of the plane.nbsp; Between gasps for breath, the man was swearing in Japanese.

Mick Aloha stood in the aisle with his shoulders back and his chest out, a man who deserved recognition for his accomplishment, a man who should be praised and honored.nbsp; He wondered if they'd make him an honorary captain; maybe they would let him fly the plane for a while.nbsp; Hell, they might even let him land the thing after what he had done. The passengers ignored him.

Like, the Kid totally didn't recognize the voice.nbsp; That was a total bummer.nbsp; He'd hoped that the message might have been from Tony or Rick; they were totally the kinds of guys who would send messages by robot, maybe just to invite the Kid surfing.nbsp; That was how they rolled, man.nbsp; Those guys sure were cool.

Mick Aloha thought the guy with the wok would be easy to take down; a kick to the knee would send him down soon enough, leaving Aloha free to take care of the group of men who looked like they'd fallen out of a yakuza movie, even though they had to be Chinese. They would be tougher to take down; individually, they would be no problem, but together they might fight dirty, like the midget cowboys in Oklahoma, and with nothing more than a hospital gown in his possession, Aloha thought he would be better off not taking his chances.

He thought about his Visa bill.nbsp; He could, like, totally pay it off this year if he set his mind to it and looked for ways to cut costs.nbsp; Once he paid off Visa, it would be so sweet.nbsp; He'd be able to use the money that he would have used to pay Visa to pay off his car.nbsp; Once his car was paid off, it was be totally sweet.nbsp; The Kid would be both stoked and amped to be out of debt.nbsp; Rick would be so jealous.nbsp; So would Tony.nbsp; They'd probably, like, sit around the surf shop all day and talk about how debt-free the Kid was.nbsp; Then, they'd all go surf together and everything would be great.nbsp; The Kid was stoked.nbsp; The Kid was amped.

Google doc of the text so far. Apocalypse Dowell's stomach felt strange; he eyed the IV attached to his arm and wondered if the fluids they were pumping into his body contained meat.nbsp; If so, it wouldn't make his stomach feel strange, just his veins and arteries, so he decided it must be something else.nbsp; Something else was turning his stomach. Mick Aloha. Dowell had been awake for less than five minutes, and already he had the urge to strangle Aloha, like a constant whispering in his ear, the same whispering serial killers blamed for their misdeeds, the same whispering that drew people to... The voice.nbsp; Before he'd been knocked outmdash;not fallen asleep as Aloha had saidmdash;he'd heard a voice.nbsp; The voice had been familiar, but Dowell still couldn't place it.nbsp; Who would send a messenger robot to them?nbsp; Who used messenger robots anymore?nbsp; It had to have been someone in trouble, but who did they know who was in trouble?

Mick Aloha awoke in a hospital room.nbsp; He was privy to waking up in hospital rooms; several times, after running from the police, he'd woken up in some strange hospital room, handcuffed to the bed with a headache and cotton mouth.nbsp; He checked his arms; they weren't handcuffed.nbsp; Good.nbsp; He then looked around the room, checking for escape routes.
