A quick question - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Sylvetra_Snake · 11th July 2008, 08:46 PM

I am not sure what genre my short story is suited for. It is a first-person cop story with secrets and action and deaths right from the start, and not in the crazy shooting sense, it has a mystery theme behind it.

I believe that's usually in the genre called "Mystery" or Murder Mystery".

Is that the type of answer you were looking for?

Yeah think so. Basically, his family get killed by two shooters who then knock him out. Then it is some years later and he doesnt have any memory of who he is and his wife is there to see him (the mystery is that he saw his wife die, so who is she?). Maybe mystery or thriller or something. I am used to writing novels of fantasy and science fiction but this story was playing on my mind. I was going to write a full book but thought a series of short stories might be more fun.

Thanks.
