Creating Human

The city of Shinar is full of strange and mysterious oddities, but none so great as the cursed black bag of Leonard Bravecci. Well, that is, of course, with the exception of the man himself.

When the disgraced inventor returns from exile, the people of Shinar are quick to rebuke him. A lifetime would not be long enough to forget Leonard’s sins, and many have already lost their lives in trying to right his wrongs. From the spread of the Sweller's Disease to the burning of The Prometheus Building and all those inside, Leonard is a walking reminder, a nightmare that cannot be woken from these past fifteen years.

But where the townspeople only see the survivor of this massacre, Pooka, a desperate con artist, sees potential.

Even if Leonard is the killer the town claims him to be, Pooka would be a fool not to capitalize on the man's misfortune. What is one man's failure if not another's chance to succeed? And besides, killers are the least of the con man's problems.

From the murderous Zachary Hannes to Commandant Anon, the despot of Shinar, the reluctant pair have far greater concerns than rumors and whispers. To survive in Shinar, Leonard and Pooka must work together. But to save the town, they must do the impossible: cure the Sweller's Disease or die trying.
