The Sky's Eyes

by Brian Macrae

Overview

Attending demonstrations has become the most popular pastime. When the demonstration turns violent (and they usually do), Lukas is there; He records and sources low-rez video to the newsfeeds. He has worked hard to build a reputation for producing quality clips. That reputation and his willingness to be in the fray are his primary assets.

One morning, he discovers that his hard-earned digital reputation is worthless. In that moment, he realizes that he is both unemployable and a social outcast. Could it be related to the girl he met the night before, or to the abduction of another low-rez producer that he happened to record at a demonstration?

Lukas is trying to figure out how to solve the mystery, when he meets Kim. She is stubborn, pushy and difficult to be around. Unfortunately, she won't go away because she needs to solve the mystery as well, for completely different reasons. Kim lives in a world of data and algorithms. Lukas prefers climbing on buildings and playing in traffic. Together, they must discover the cause of Lukas's destroyed reputation because people keep disappearing.

About the Author

Brian Macrae grew up in Connecticut. He left home at 19 and moved to San Francisco, California. That move began a habit of moving frequently that lasted 15 years. A few of the places he called home were Rochester New York, Columbia South Carolina, Boulder and Durango Colorado, Durham and Raleigh North Carolina. He finally settled in Asheville North Carolina and lived there for a while. He then moved up to the Poconos, a vacation area in Eastern Pennsylvania to be with the woman that he would eventually marry.

The years spent in San Francisco were the most formative. Seeking knowledge and experience, he read voraciously and sought out new activities whenever possible. The other experience that would have a serious impact was an accident in a restaurant that put him in the hospital for 28 days. He left with skin grafts covering nearly 1/3 of his body and a renewed expectation that life should always have direction. Life can be slow and leisurely or hectic and driven, but it should never be random or pointless.

He delved into yoga as physical therapy after the injury and eventually became a yoga teacher. That led to a practice called AcroYoga which is a combination of Acrobatics and Yoga. His other passion is renovating houses.
