Reading Notes: The Sandy Road
- The Sandy Road is a short but riveting tale, as the men are put into danger within a few sentences thanks to a poor decision and unfortunate event. The setting of the Sandy Road would fit perfectly into the setting of the Badlands in Cyberpunk.
- Oxen in the futuristic world of Cyberpunk would not make that much sense, so I could replace their method of transport with normal vehicles, but keep the element of having a pilot lead them with either a physical navigator or some sort of AI navigation system.
- The plot of the Sandy Road is extremely short, with the story being finished within a couple scrolls of the webpage. This means when I write my own story on it, I need to flesh out each section of the story, and add some dialogue so that it is entertaining to read even though it is longer than the source.
