In creating this upcoming story, I envisioned much of it like a feature-length movie. I am just as driven by music for my stories as I am the topic I'm writing about, so as an addition I have complied a list of the songs I listed to while planning out this story. Consider it a sort of soundtrack, if you will. To help everyone understand what songs influenced my thought process, the chapters of the story will be titled with the name of the song that 'fits' the scene.
Here is the list of songs that helped inspire my ideas:
"Shine Down" by Godsmack
"Way of the Fist" by Five Finger Death Punch
"Divide" by Disturbed
"Here Comes the Pain" by Slayer
"One Thing" by Finger Eleven
"There for You" by Flyleaf
"All Around Me" by Flyleaf
"Death before Dishonor" by Five Finger Death Punch
"Threshold" by Slayer
"White Knuckles" by Five Finger Death Punch
"Ashes" by Five Finger Death Punch
"Dead Man Walking" by Bloodsimple
"Lonely Day" by System of a Down
"The Bleeding" by Five Finger Death Punch – the quintessential theme of Slade in this story.
Within the upcoming pages will entail the story of a monster who lurks in Titan City. A man who forewent everything he was in the pursuit of what he felt needed to be done. A man who turned his back on his way of life in order to become a god. But this story is not solely about him. It is about the man who rose from the ashes to eliminate this monster, to free Titan City from the stranglehold of a madman. A man who will become the avenging hand of God in retribution for every life cruelly ended by a monster who hid behind a mask, who now hides behind the people of this fair city.
This is a story about that avenging angel. A man known only by one name…
Slade.
This is The Final Stroke.
