The World Ending in Fortune’s Wing

Here’s some info on the upcoming Fortune’s Wing: Flies Again, the third and final installment of the series. I’ll try not to provide any spoilers!

 

The question in FW isn’t whether or not the world will end, the question is how. The next question is, will it be reborn, or left in the dust? This is what Fortune Oyama has to decide. As Adam reminds him as he sets off for his journey, “The world is ending”. Most readers are probably thinking, “Well, of course Fortune won’t let the world end! That would be crazy!” Of course, if it was that simple, then I wouldn’t have written the story. Fortune is going to have to make a very difficult decision, and surrounding factors are going to make that decision even more difficult. Think about the world for a moment: try to look at it from the point of view of someone who, oh, let’s say, ISN’T FROM EARTH. I know how crazy that sounds, but just try it. You arrive here, and while you do see some people living in peace and harmony, you also see racism, murder, destruction of the environment, etc. Do you see where I’m going? From the point of view of an outsider, this may not look like a world worth saving.

Here’s another way to look at it. Think of the city or town you live in. List all of its positive and negative traits. Now, imagine you have to sell someone on the idea of moving to your town, and you have to tell them all of the good things and the bad things. What if the bad things outweigh the good? What if the bad things, are really bad? Could you still convince someone to move there anyway?

This will be Fortune’s dilemma. Save the world, as crooked as it is, or destroy it? Keep it just the way it is, or change it? And change it into what? If you want to know what he decides to do, you’ll just have to stay tuned…
