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."

W-HAM-ER TV

THE ONLY CHANNEL THAT BURNS THROUGH THE STATIC.

This isn’t just a transmission. This is the flickering image that slips past the Controller’s blind spots. Switch over to W-HAM-ER TV, the only channel that projects the raw visual code of the truth. These are the animated case files of my memoirs, burned onto forgotten film reels and buried deep in the digital vault. I project the gritty frames of every case—the life, the lies, and the shadows I expose—straight from the other side of the screen. Watch close. You might just see the cracks in the reality they built around us.
