Shadowrun: Adversary: Shadowrun Enhanced Fiction Series, #1

By Russell Zimmerman

A New Shadowrun Short Story!

WHERE THERE'S SMOKE...

Most Awakened folks in the Sixth World have Mentor Spirits to help them navigate the vast, often confusing world of magic. Many times, the mage chooses a spirit that compliments them, and can help them out in tough situations.

And then there's Jimmy Kincaid.

THERE'S DEFINITELY FIRE.

Kincaid's never been one for taking the easy road, and to say his life is complicated is like saying water's wet. And when a simple trace job leads to a nest of Humanis thugs that have captured a metahuman hostage, well the voice of his Mentor Spirit isn't whispering peace and goodwill in the P.I.'s ear.

Because Kincaid's Mentor Spirit is Adversary…and Adversary just wants to see the world burn… Will Jimmy resist his mentor's siren call of death and destruction…or give in to those darker instincts and just level the entire place?

Adversary

They say everybody’s got a little voice in their head. Mine’s a little louder than most. He speaks to me—and yeah, I assume it’s a he, for the same reason I assume a serial killer making headlines is a he—in all sorts of different situations, at all kinds of different times. Sometimes it’s in the ringing silences between gunshots, or in the breathless moment after a spell turns all the air in the room to fire and burns everything and everyone but me. Sometimes it speaks to me in the hissed intake of breath before throwing another punch. It can be the snarl of an engine, the growl of a dog, the sound of a bone breaking. I hear his voice when I’m first half-awake and not sure
