A Day at fizz! Inc. was originally intended to be the spiritual successor to the first Just Another Day story. Positioning Mark's son, Liam, not only as the lead character, but the new boss of plop! Plutonium(tm) operations. This story instead became the basis for the "Project Dandelion" story in Just Another Day 2: Perchance to Dream, with Liam himself appearing full-time for only one chapter. Somehow, I never found a place for the sassy Ms. Espresso in Just Another Day 2. The original chapter titles were a tongue-in-cheek reference to the classic computer game, Doom.
Chapter 1: Knee Deep in the Living
Part 1: The Real
The day began just like any other. I awoke from my plop! Plutonium(tm) induced sleep to find a notification on my Google Contact retina display. Isabella, a fellow co-worker, had written a painstaking report on the state of fizz! Incorporated's ongoing research and development for Project Dandelion. I fully intended to give her report the attention it deserved, but not before my morning espresso. As I entered into the kitchen, I heard a familiar voice say, "Good morning, G-Man. The usual?" It was my never disappointing Ms. Espresso machine. My daily jump start with just a hint of sassiness. I replied rather humorously, "You know how I like it, baby." Ms. Espresso quickly responded, "One extra fizzy espresso coming up, buttercup." I sat down at the usual bar stool beside the counter and proceeded to browse through the day's news on my retina display: "Martian settlers found to be engaging in illegal activity on the red planet." "Consumption of food linked to aging process, one scientific study finds." "Honey Boo Boo is pregnant again; with her seventh child, Bubble Gum." "Disneyland Resort announces plans for their centennial celebration set to kick off on July 17th, 2055." That is mainstream news for you. A mixed bag.
A series of semi-fictional stories dealing with matters of the heart, spirituality and other things too hot for The Grig Post.
Remember: A bold new beginning awaits around every corner!

The Grig Saga (Work in Progress)
The Grig Saga is a *work in progress* origin story and potential reboot to Space Ruckus. I, however, have no intention of developing this into a video game. It is merely a story; a work of fiction. Try not to take things too seriously.
