    Application of intellect reveals how pointless our lives are:  We live for a short span and are confined to one world among billions.  But wisdom and maturity dictate that we try our absolute best, and enjoy every second of it.  Because if our time is fleeting, then why not?  Shallow dips into indulgence leave us thirsty…

  • Echo-A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel

    A friend of mine brings her frat boy date to my house.  “Bro” this.  “Brah” that.  He unapologetically apologizes for clogging my bathroom:  “Sorry brah!  But you should see it-it was epic!”  My face twitches in hate.  I open my eReader to Echo, and an alien light beams down from the sky, right onto him.…

    Lotta snow and I gotta get to school.  Yup, muttered curses and chipping ice off the windshield with freezing fingers and stinging cheeks awaits.  I’m chipping away, when suddenly my phone falls out of my pocket.  It’s open to Echo on the Kindle app.  Magic flash, and my windshield scraper turns into a lightsaber.  I…

      The truest guidance flows solely from the purest form of self.  So I work to distill myself down to that holy tincture; for ultimately, I know I can look to no other.

    I see a self-entitled tween giving lip to his mom.  Ugly sneer, constantly on his phone, you know the kind I’m talking about.  Kids hit an age when they’re not cute anymore, and damn, parents pay in spades after that.  Shaking my head in disgust, I open my eReader to Echo and a burst of light…
