I Killed A Plant Once Because I Gave It Too Much Water

Hello all! I've decided to use this platform that I've created for myself to publish a serialized novel I've suddenly decided to write. You can consider this post the introduction to that novel.

The book is called I Killed A Plant Once Because I Gave It Too Much Water: Or, The Tragic Fate Of The Halceon-V. Is that long enough, do you think? Yes, it is a reference to the Jose Oliverez quote, which may prove to be thematically relevant in the story...

I Killed A Plant is a sci-fi investigative conspiracy love story. If that doesn't make any sense, you'll probably just have to read it; I don't know what to tell you. The story follows a journalist by the name of Joshua David who, rather than writing an article like he was supposed to, has found himself enthralled by the story of the space station, Halceon-V, and ends up compiling all of his findings into a book instead, much to the chagrin of his boss, the Chief Editor of the Solar Tribune. The story will be told almost entirely through snippets of journal entries, interviews, video transcripts, as so on, as Joshua attempts to present only the facts of the case without his own personal bias getting in the way. However, as time goes on, he may find it harder and harder to remain personally uninvolved in the story.

That's probably all you need to know. I won't spoil the story for you here. Not because I don't want to (though I don't), but primarily because I don't know how the story ends myself. I'm still researching it. I'm still on the lookout for the next piece of information that will crack this case wide open, finally bringing to light what really happened on the Halceon-V once and for all.

I killed a plant once because I gave it too much water. Lord, I worry that love is violence.
