Assassination Day

by David J. Wighton

Overview

Izzy had a dilemma. Zzyk's best technology guy offered to join the Wilizy. The Tech Guy (they nicknamed him TG) had skills that would give the Wilizy control over Zzyk's entire computer network. But Izzy had a nagging suspicion.

TG declared openly that he was offering to join the Wilizy as a ploy to gain their trust. He was there to assassinate Will and Izzy. He even informed them how he would do that. He even disclosed how he was communicating with Zzyk. Then, he told them a tear-jerking story about how Zzyk was using his infant daughter to compel him to kill them. He would work for the Wilizy if they rescued her.

Izzy didn't trust TG. Nothing that he said about himself, his daughter, or his reasons to switch sides could be verified. Was he telling them partial truths while he kept his true intentions hidden? As the day for their assassination approached, Izzy's uncertainty grew.

After the assassination, Zzyk had to make a decision. The video of Will and Izzy screaming in agony when their bodies burst into flames seemed real. The flames were lilac in color, as they should have been. His staff verified that the voices belonged to Will and Izzy. His allies confirmed that the copter TG used take his daughter to safety was destroyed by their missile. Zzyk decided to make a public announcement that Albertan citizens had nothing further to fear from Izzy, the wanton slut and Will, the deranged magician. He may have been wrong about that.

About the Author

David Wighton is a retired educator who enjoys writing youth novels when he's not on a basketball court coaching middle-school girls. The books in his Wilizy series peek at how people lived after the word's governments collapsed in the chaos that followed the catastrophic rise in ocean levels and the disappearance of the world's last deposits of oil. Luckily today, in the 2080s, the citizens of Alberta are safe because their It's Only Fair society uses brain-bands to zap people whenever they break a rule. That way, all children grow up knowing the difference between right and wrong. Unfortunately, they're also taught that women's ankles need to be covered so that men can't see them and turn into perverts. Plus, no-one in Alberta can have babies any more because the government manufactures them in a way that ensures that no child has an unfair advantage over any other child. All of this makes sense to Alberta's dictator, but not to Will and Izzy – two teenagers who are decidedly different from everyone else.

Wighton's novels have strong teenage characters driving the plot and facing challenges that, in many respects, are no different from what teenagers face today. His novels are intended to entertain and readers will find adventure, romance, suspense, humour, a strong focus on family, plus a touch of whimsy. Wighton also writes to provoke a little thought about life in today's societies and what the future might bring. Teachers may find the series useful in the classroom and the novels are priced with that intent in mind.
