    I suspect that the vast gulf between what I am now and what I am destined to be is designed to eat at me…and that the only remedy is to attempt crossing that gulf every day, and to try to go faster with each step.  This, I have found, is the only way I sleep…

  • Echo: A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel

    Some evil wizard has apparently figured out how to fuse vegan-evangelists and grammar nazis and—no surprise—the result of this evil wizardry is a dog-sized tarantula with the head of a bespectacled nerd.  They’re coming at me en masse, hissing and spitting a stream of self-righteous venom.  I have nowhere to run, so I jump on…

    Today, like every day, I’ll strive to set an example for myself.  I do this so that I do not look to others for self-validation.  

  • Echo: A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel

    I’m going for an early morning jog.  Suddenly, an emo-poet with a faceful of metal darts up beside me.  GAH!  Before he can speak I cut down a side street.  Two more appear, and I turn again, running north.  Four of ’em run out from nowhere, and now I dash into the forest, leaping over…

  • Echo: A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel

    Writing snobs have taken over the world.  I’m being rolled through the streets in stockades, like William F’in Wallace.  An angry, bespectacled academic waves a red pen at me, shouting and screaming about proper grammar.  Others are clicking their staplers, showering me with staples, howling about how the proper staple should be set one inch…

    It’s not simply about getting back up when you’re knocked down; endlessly repeating that  makes you a punching bag that’s cracked and split at the seams.  It’s about that beautiful moment of possibility after you get hit…that moment where you’re charged with momentum and you can use it to regain the upper hand.   That moment…

  • Echo: A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel

    There goes my big mouth again, carelessly talking smack about Kate Middleton.  Privileged horse-riding socialites are pursuing me, their eyes as cold as the black-paneled optics on stormtrooper helmets.  They’re hemming me in, leaping over obstacles, taking potshots at me with rifles and pistols.  A bullet wings me in the ass.  “Got him in the…
