Scars

James was a high-rider, a thrill seeker, an EVA cowboy. He was one of a small brotherhood of men who made a living out of lassoing dead satellites and towing them out of Earth's orbit. Then came the accident, the one which cost James everything. Now landlocked and grounded with no chance of returning to space, James lives a life of quiet desperation. By day, he struggles with having become an amputee. By night, he is haunted by nightmares of the moment that took his leg, his friends, and his entire career. After a failed suicide attempt, a company psychologist assigns James a companion animal named Max-a very smart rat with an interesting past. Now, once again, James will find his life radically changed as old wounds are opened and fresh scars are forced to heal. J. Ishiro Finney is an author of horror, gritty sci-fi, and neo-noir. He is 5'6", weighs 155 lbs on a full bladder, and has black hair that is slowly going silver. If someone was to play J. Ishiro in a movie of his life, it would be a young Brad Dourif, best known as being the voice of Chucky-although Ishiro is more akin to Brad's portrayal of the Twisted Mentat Piter De Vries in the film Dune.If J. Ishiro were a beverage, he'd be a cup of scalding coffee. If J. Ishiro were a celestial body he'd be a planetoid in the Oort Belt. J. Ishiro's best friend is a rodent. He gets his best ideas while in a half-awake state. He eats raw oatmeal. Every day. He listens to music that could be mistaken for a factory collapsing. He's seen ghosts, spontaneous human combustion, and a UFO in broad daylight. One of those prior statements is not true. J. Ishiro does not believe in ghosts. The UFO was a silver disc gliding over an Air Force Base. Spontaneous human combustion is impossible.If you were to break J. Ishiro down into his key chemical components he'd be at least 3% coffee. The rest would be piss and vinegar. His atomic number is 60: Neodymium. When J. Ishiro throws parties he serves heavy water and yellow cake.His other works include: Casefile: Arkham, Titanium Rain, Utopiates, and World War Kaiju. He has used the pen name Josh Finney in the past.
