  • Echo-A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel

    Grammar Nazis have shackled me to a chain-gang of other aspiring writers, forcing us to correct each other’s pieces and take out every sentence fragment, every run-on sentence, every contraction, even.  Our souls are bleeding from our bodies in a slow, torturous drip…ENOUGH.  I open my eReader to Echo.  Magic flash.  Andy Dufresne appears beside…

    College professors!  Assaulting my will to live!  Disgruntled academics have created a Possibility Engine and tweaked it so that they now control the heart of reality.  My classes are now eight hours long, no bathroom breaks, no eating/drinking, no fidgeting, and breathing must be kept to a minimum.  I’m staring straight ahead, my colon feeling like…
