I actually wrote this for National Novel Writing Month. I hope you enjoy!
Prologue
What? Don't look at me like that. I dare you to write a book about the past few years of your life and give it a title. It's a lot harder than it looks. I probably sat in this chair for a good ten minutes brainstorming before J.A.R.V.I.S. asked me if I was still awake.
Who's J.A.R.V.I.S? He's my artificial intelligence. AI for short. Sometimes I'm tempted to change the abbreviation to SAI. Sarcastic artificial intelligence.
Who am I, you ask? The name's Stark. Tony Stark. Does that ring a bell? What about Iron Man? Ah, I see that spark of recognition in your eyes. He would be alias.
I'm sure you're all wondering what happened to me after I eliminated the Mandarin. Okay, so I guess Pepper is the one that got rid of Killian, but that's beside the point. Yes, I got the Extremis out of Pepper's system, and yes, we lived happily ever after. Or we would have if such a thing existed.
Oh, don't worry. I've had a plethora of happy, touchy-feely points in my life that I'm sure you'll enjoy. Either that or you'll be like me and wonder why I'm making a Hallmark commercial.
For all you battle hungry fans out there, I've had a few of those experiences, too. My life has just been one huge roller coaster hill after another, but I digress.
Have I activated your curiosity yet? Good. That's what I was aiming for. By now I'm sure you're rolling your eyes and silently screaming at me to get on with it. Well, take a deep breath and relax because I'm about to do just that.
I think I'll start with...my wedding day.
