Courier: Person who transports sensitive data, documents, and small packages.
Zoe Blanco is a small town girl that flees to the big city to escape the cult she had been raised in. Upon arriving in New York, Zoe witnesses a courier on a motorcycle weave in and out of traffic while her cousin takes her to the apartment he shares with his mother. She thought it looked fun. Weeks later, Zoe is unable to find employment. Desperate to support herself, Zoe takes a loan from a local mob boss and uses the funds to buy a Frame(NanoPC implanted to the brain) and motorcycle. She lands a job at a transport company soon after and begins working as a courier.
Along the way, Zoe uses coding and slicing(hacking in this world) skills to create a few useful apps and steal some credits(money) to pay back the mafia. In time, Zoe learns that actions have consequences as the past comes back to haunt her and corporate interests take note of her.
This story has slice of life elements, some fantasy elements, is inspired by Johnny Mnemonic, and other cyberpunk works including way too much time spent riding motorcycles in the Cyberpunk 2077 computer game.
Genre: Science Fiction
