In Cumulus City, one of Jørn's 5 floating megalopolises, there's a section called the Twilight. Natural sunlight never reaches that far down in the city, and you can't see the sky. It's an older part of the city where a lot of shady things go down. Including street racing.

With so many OTHER crazy things happening (genetically engineered animal companions, telepathy, hover cars, ancient conspiracies overseen by even older AIs) I figured time in the Heroverse could function just like the real world.

Ummm... not really, especially for the Hero trilogy, which took place mostly in a floating megalopolis. I DID have a really clear picture of the city though, especially the alleyways and massive thoroughfares. Think Fifth Element meets Bladeruner.

Hmm, I gotta think about that one...
I guess it depends where you are on Jørn (the alien planet in the Hero Rebellion). If you're in one of the floating cities, day and night are nebulous concepts, since the buildings are so tall only the rich see the sky.

If you have 25 followers on your launch page, you're ready to launch! But if you have 50 followers, you've part of an EXCLUSIVE CLUB! 🎩
