Recenly, I have been accused of drawing only white people. (I believe the Samoan, who was my first post on this site, and the Asian who was my third, provide sufficient response.) However, I noticed that I have not posted a black person. So? Since I am all for equality? Here is Drew.
Drew is a character from a story that will not see a lot of time on this site since I plan to actually do something with it. I have encountered enough idea-stealing to teach me to think twice, and witnessed enough perversion of ideas I have loved to make me think even harder.

Drew was a comedian. And a pretty damned good one at that. At the height of his career, he gave a show in Boston and within a matter of weeks, every single audience member had killed themselves. The people had nothing more in common than having been to the same show on the same night. Drew was brought in for questioning and was told never to do that set again.
Now, Drew has never been a fan of authority, and if a bunch of people killed themselves over what he said, then they probably shouldn't be alive anyway (by his reckoning). And so he did it again in Washington DC. Again, the entire audience killed themselves by the end of the month.
His career slowed to a grinding hault after that, which gave him a lot of spare time. He wrote a book. After 73% of the people who bought the book killed themselves as well, the book was pulled from circulation. He was asked to speak on a college radio station. Listeners died.
When all was said and done, nearly three thousand people had died, and the government decided something must be done.
Technically, Drew had committed no crime. But he didn't seem the least bit concerned about all the lives that had been lost. He couldn't be executed, and he hadn't *technically* killed all those people, but it was decided that he should be locked up anyway and rehabilitated if possible.
So, officially, ended the career of Drew Mongomery and began his life at Serinity Glen.
