Saturday 21st April 2012 Day Six 8.20am Good morning Brandon! Leith pulled himself out of bed reluctantly, shrugging the blanket off his bare shoulders. He wore a white vest and blue boxer shorts and his black hair, which was already messy enough, had been left even more chaotic by a night’s sleep. He’d been looking forward to a lie-in after such a long day but his phone had rung three times so far and he was sick of waking up to it only to go back to sleep again. Wiping his stubbly chin and groaning, he...

Friday 20th April 2012 Day Five 10.30am Leith was already standing outside the hardware store on Constitution Avenue when Stanton’s blacked-out car pulled up at the curb. He took a pair of sunglasses out of his pocket and slipped them on to protect his eyes from the bright sunlight glaring off the roofs of the parked cars lining the road. She climbed out of the car and extended her hand to him. Looking up on Constitution Avenue. “Good morning, Mr Leith.” “I think you should start calling me Theo.” She...

Thursday 19th April 2012 Day Four 7.00am Leith woke alone. He was sprawled over the double bed in his room, his clothes scattered over the floor and the blankets in disarray. His head was buzzing, not from alcohol but from a night of passion unlike any he had experienced in years. Slowly, and cautiously, he reached over to where Goodwin had been when they went to sleep in the small hours of the morning. She wasn’t there. It was only after a shower and a quick shave that he found the note on the kitchen...

Wednesday 18th April 2012 Day Three 10.00am Northbeck Hills was one of Brandon’s most exclusive districts, situated to the southwest of Downtown, across the border in Virginia. It was an expanse of luxury villas, swimming pools and tennis courts. The street running through the middle was lined with modern, expensive cars, but there was barely any traffic. Northbeck Hills It was at ten in the morning that Theo Leith and Tabitha Goodwin picked up Fiorino Anselmo’s trail, tailing his black Mercedes in Theo’s...

Tuesday 17th April 2012 Day Two 8.00am Senator Georgina Stanton woke slowly, roused from her sleep by the gentle pitter-patter of rain against the bedroom window. She rubbed her eyes and looked out over the grey skies above Downtown Brandon. Her apartment, on the thirtieth floor of the Onyx Building on the intersection of Michigan and Wilson Street, was just a couple of roads from the Central Precinct Police Station and had brilliant views southward to the skyline. The Onyx Building Rivers of water snaked...

Monday 16th April 2012 Day One 11.30am The wooden gavel slammed down onto the plate with a resounding crack and everyone gathered in the Grand Debate Chamber of the United States Curia immediately fell silent. It was a large, semicircular room with a balcony around the sides. A chandelier hung from the ceiling, illuminating the rows of desks and the raised platform at the front. On it was a long table and behind it were eleven chairs, each one with a Senator sitting on it. The United States Curia “Order!”...

Update 1 - 6th February 2013 Welcome to Brandon! In this first photo update, I'm going to be focusing on some of the areas shown in the launch video. Now, a little introduction. Brandon is my re-imagined capital of the USA, complete with its own military training academy, federal centre and multiple downtowns. It's a bustling, metropolitan city with a huge population and various different districts. I'll start from the top, with . . . DOWNTOWN NEW TOWN FEDERAL CENTRE EAST POINT MILITARY ACADEMY FRENCH COVE...

Brandon Relaunch!

By Macko123456,

Hey all, I lost the previous Brandon when I changed my computer but it's time for a RELAUNCH! This is the new city of Brandon. I'm working on a narrative project named Dark Streets to be published sometime this month, but for the meantime I'll stick to a video introduction to the city. Enjoy! More updates to come!
