Chapter 1: The Call
Tuesday; November 25, 2036:
Dear diary,
I'm almost finishing with the Ace Savvy series. As much as I like to write about my favorite superhero, I can't just stay in one story. Sure the franchise has become big with great sales in copies, having its own TV show and film trilogy, but as I continue to work on it I realize there was no more of what I could write. I have already to my agent Phil that I might finish Ace Savvy and leave alone at last.
Right now, I'm trying to think of a way to write the last comic for my favorite superhero. Now I must be creative. I have already so many great adventures of Ace Savvy that I couldn't believe I have to end without a fresh plot, but what could the story be about.
The phone rings on his desk as Lincoln place his pencil down beside the blank sheets of papers. He grabs his phone and answers the call.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Linky!"
"Hey, Leni, how's the fashion business?"
"It's going really great. I just made a new shirt that everyone is going to talk about for years."
"Wow, that's great, Leni. I wish I could hug you to congratulate you."
"Oh, Lincoln, stop It! You can't hug when you're on the phone. Anyways, how is the comic book business going?"
"Well... Right now I'm going to end Ace Savvy."
"Lincoln! I thought you like Ace Savvy and you want to kill him?!"
"No, Leni, I mean there's no more adventure for him and I'm writing the last issue right now."
"Oh, Lincoln, I'm sorry you have to do it."
"It's alright, I'm glad to finally let Ace have his rest."
Lincoln looks at his walls to see many pictures of Ace Savvy sketches and a picture of himself in the front page of Times Magazine's Top Comic Book writer and illustrator. He sighs to see he was only well known just to keep Ace Savvy updates with the current generation of comic book readers. He feels like he could do other things beside just his favorite hero. Maybe he can make his own hero, or may do something different.
"Alright, Lincoln- Oh I almost forgot something!"
"What is it, Leni?"
"I just remembered that Lori wanted me to ask you if you would like to go somewhere for a sibling reunion."
"A sibling reunion, didn't we have that like a month ago?"
"Well, family need to spend time together. That's why we're family. And we will be together for about two or three weeks."
Lincoln was thinking about this, yet he glance at his blank papers.
"I don't know, Leni. I need to finish my comic book in three weeks. My agent Phil wants me to finish quick so I could focus on my next project."
"Well, you can just take your work with you. There's nothing wrong to show us some of your work. We won't judge."
"It's not that simply, I need to make sure that once it's done I need to deliver it to the company for editors to fix any errors and for people to color the comic book. It's a process."
"So you're not coming?"
Oh no, Leni's voice sounded sad and the last person Lincoln wanted to upset was Leni. She was the sweet and naive older sister whose good vibe makes him smile while enjoying her company. Kind of think of it, he wasn't focusing what the other sisters have been doing.
He knows that Lori is a CEO of the telephone company, Leni is a fashion designer, Luna is a rock star who might be working on her fifth album, Luan is possibly still selling out stadiums with her comedy shows, Lynn must be training to get more gold medals from the Olympics, Lucy must be writing a new Gothic novel, Lana might be doing engineering stuff, while Lola is focusing on being Miss America, Lisa is a noble winning scientist, and Lily was an artist. He didn't get a word from any of them except for Leni.
"No, Leni, I'm coming. I'm just aware of the others."
"Oh, don't worry about them, Linky, just worry about you."
"Alright then, Leni, where do I need to go?"
"We first need to visit mom and dad and then we will go to Silver Creek Mountain."
"Silver Creek Mountain, isn't that a bit far?"
"Yeah, but you know since snow is going to come soon after November."
Lincoln feels a bit nervous to go over there, being far away from his agency. He doesn't know if it will take him long to compete the comic on time, but he has a family matter than he needs to accept. Just because he's more focus in comics doesn't mean he's going to push his family away.
"Okay then, bye."
"Bye!"
Lincoln places his phone down to his desk and look at his blank sheets of paper. He couldn't believe he was going to be somewhere far, but at least he could spend time with his sisters. Maybe they might inspire him to write something for Ace Savvy.
