+The ruthless one-time kingpin of the largest Black gang in East Memphis, Clay Jackson now acts as [[The King]]'s second-in-command. He enacts orders from The King with brutal efficiency, but their relationship is not a comfortable one, and ever is Jackson looking for his opening to take over, biding his time and gathering a group of loyalists to enact a coup. Jackson has a hideous burn scar all across the right-hand side of his shoulder, neck, and face. Jackson resents The King for forcing him into the siege that caused the burns, saving his life, and then for forcing him to join his band of pirates.

Carson and his men arrive at [[the_island|The Island]] on December 5th, 2003 and subjugate the colonists living there, including [[Sarah Hayes]]. They had been watching the Island and planning the invasion for some time beforehand.
 
 The King was born in a small town outside Memphis in 1973, and was raised by a strict, abusive, Elvis-loving father Mason and his timid wife Dot. Carson ran away from home at 16 after an incident with his school principal and a misplaced rock throw, and soon fell in with a low-rate punk band called The Rags in Memphis. After severely beating a concert promoter, Johnny Dunn, for refusing to pay his band, Carson was sentenced to five years in prison, with parole in three for good behavior.

 After one particularly bad night, Jackie left Carson, and he was soon forced at rock bottom to sell his beloved Lounge to [[Clay Jackson]], the underworld boss who ruled East Memphis. Carson moved back in with his mother, Dot, and found nothing to get him up in the morning most days. Agreeing eventually to take his mother to Graceland for her birthday, Carson was beginning to work up the courage to write to Jackie and fix things up between him and his wife, to see his daughter once more.
 
 It was not to be. The day they went to Graceland was October 16th, 1998, the day before The Fall. Several people who had been infected with the virus that caused the dead to come back to life reanimated and tore through the crowd of tourists, killing Dot and plunging Carson into a world of chaos and insanity that he would not recover from.

 ### Stories
 
 Along with these short stories I have several short novellas (9-15k words) which I'm not quite sure what to do with, as they seem to be of too strange a size to submit anywhere, and some other stories not published on this blog because they have been submitted to competitions or otherwise held back for future submissions.
