A Collection of Stories and Such
I must warn you... this book is weird. Really weird! It contains 35 titles. Some are stories. Some are like poems. Some are... I don't know what the heck they are. Some are short. Some are long. But all are strange in some way. In the words of Dr. John Zaharie, Ph.D... Your book is really weird, Victor. Maybe you should try writing about herbs or health foods instead.
Caution!
Don't expect this book to be like anything you've ever read. Some people say it's horrible, ridiculous, doesn't make any sense. Others say it's brilliant, enthralling, the best thing they've read in six years. Go figure. If I had any sense, I'd never release this stuff into the public.
Some Samples...
Farmer Jalion's Barn...
Duthton came home from school today and found a bug on his belly, stuck tight, eating its way into his skin. Mommy, he screamed, why do I have a bug stuck on my skin? Because, she replied, you are going insane.
Dinner at the McGuires...
The silence was broken when Mrs. McGuire spoke. Adam, she said, would you please touch that chair next to you? Why? Adam asked. Because, she explained, I'm afraid it will jump up and bite me.
Jeffrey...
Jeffrey stood facing the cold, steel bars. Wide-eyed and willing, he peered into the cage at the kangaroo. The kangaroo looked back. And then... it happened! Jeffrey heard the kangaroo say something to him.
Interview with Bub...
Sometimes I get this feeling that I'm dreaming when I'm awake. It's like I could just snap my fingers or something and I'd awaken from this dream. It's like I'm going to wake up and you'll all disappear.
My Offering...
Take all of my losses... Take all of my gains. Then come back tomorrow... And take what remains.
...and many more.
