Jack Hammer

Ace Reporter. Private Dick.

Good work. You found my secret file cabinet of personal dossiers.

THE CITY IS ON FIRE. We are under attack. The static is getting louder. I received a message about a safe house, but the location was encrypted.

Then a punk kid rode by on his bike, tossed a crumpled paper at my chest, and yelled:

"Hey Hammer! You're looking in the wrong place! The truth isn't on the front page... it's in the ten cent rag! Find the Pulp-Noir under a dime!"

And with that, he was gone into the smog. Follow the clue. Follow me.

"They say laughter's the best medicine. I guess that's why my doctor told me to quit journalism and start a clown college. But then I realized, most of the clowns are already in politics. And their jokes? Not nearly as funny as the ones I dig up on the daily."

Yours Truly, Jack Hammer.

"I tried to write a story about honesty in Washington, but my typewriter jammed. Must’ve sensed the lie before I did. Around here, truth’s an endangered species—spotted once a decade, stuffed, mounted, and trotted out for campaign season."

Yours Truly,
Jack Hammer.

NewzHammer Publishing: Jack Hammer’s Memoir Noir Collection

Jack Hammer5 months ago2 months ago

HAMMER PUBLISHING

 The Written Record of an Existence.

These are the files the Controller didn’t re-write and the system can’t delete. This is the cold, hard history of my life—the real crimes, the phantoms of the past, and the black-and-white truth of a life lived outside the program. Every entry is memory-resident, stained with ink and blood, and deep behind my firewall. Dig deep, but don’t expect a happy ending.

A man in a fedora sits at a smoky jazz club bar, his weary face reflected in a whiskey glass. Other patrons are shadowy figures in the background. The scene is high-contrast, gritty grayscale, and noir-style, with a single bare lightbulb. The mood is lonely and mysterious.
