Ziggurat (Draft)

This page is for the early draft of Worm. For the minor parahuman character, see Parahuman Reference Sheet.

Ziggurat is an early draft of Worm.

Synopsis

During an Endbringer attack, a group of junior villains take over a city, trapping the residents in a ring of stone walls. It switched perspectives from the villains to the heroes fighting Hadhayosh. It would eventually merge into a singular storyline where Narwhal tries to deal with the captured city.

Trivia

• Ziggurat is one of the first drafts to show a hostile takeover by villains and their attempts to manage a city once they'd seized it.
  • It lost steam after J. McCraw realized that Narwhal was too powerful for a protagonist and that the length would have put it in an awkward place-too long for a short story and too short for a novel or a novella.
