    About this ebook

    In this Sci-Fi Fantasy drama, "Get Out", Christian must patch together the world that is at its end, but first he must escape from a simulation that appears to be heaven. To escape, he must destroy his own demons, no matter how difficult it may be.

    In "The Sleezeball and Me", two characters are stuck together on a Ferris Wheel. Kat and Noah reveal a complicated history between them that put them at odds when complications arise. The operator of the ride leaves and these two are stuck together. Will these two characters be able to set aside their history and work a way out?

    "Take Thirteen" is an action adventure packed with comedy. In this short fiction, two strong and opposing characters display interesting angles of their personalities, while completing a great heist at an infamous art gallery. This job could cost them their life, or gain them millions.

    "Moving On" is an emotional journey following a man spying on his loved one. In this drama, you get to read through phases of grief, acceptance, and moving on. But who, in this short tale, is moving on?

      Prey

      As I drove slowly toward the mob of angry protestors and my meeting with 200, I thought of 199. The ashes of a once hard man, staring at me with wide eyes that pleaded for hope like a dog begging for treats. I’d somehow found a way to give him that h

      My wife, Gin, once knocked gently on my head, as if it were a door. “Hello,” she kept saying. “Hello. Who’s in there?” She and our therapist, Dr. Sherby, laughed a little about this, so I did, too. What fun. Keep knocking on my head like that, like i
