Of course, every vacuum sucks - but actually this Vacuum doesn't suck at all, I just wrote it for the sake of the pun and a punchy headline (for the heady punchline, please go on reading). The Vacuum by David Proctor is a classical futuristic teenage mystery story, featuring a phenomenally inexpensive, but nonetheless carefully arranged, soundtrack by yours truly, the editor himself, me.

Basic story data: Leo and Averie, two students on Planet Aberdeen, are on their way back to their home planet, Planet Whitefall, located presumably in Solar System Vancouver.To travel economically, they decided to board a temporarily rebuilt cargo ship. Matter of expense on that part were 60 Hypox-$, I guess. Maybe even less, since it is not even a very nice nor a fast ship.

Full house up on the bridge

Just when there is some time to get a nice cup of tea, there are two bloodcurdling explosions to be heard all over the ship, completely out of the black (and into the blue.) Who can you trust? Who will have to die? Who will win the heart of the girl?

Facts:

• Complex multibranch storyline, in which every action can change the further proceeding.
• 17 possible endings.
• at least 5 possibilities to fuck up your relationship.
• at least 9 pieces of midi musik, each one more agreeable than a nightly break-down on a desert road in Texas.
• cutting-edge One-Click-Interface, featuring the revolutionary left-right-inversion and for one time a well thought-out use of the eternal stepchild space bar.

  Well, here goes: The Vacuum!
