This story is about a supervillain who -after his first several attempts to wreak havoc on and around the flying city in which he lives are thwarted, and his superhero nemesis is coincidentally erased from existence- goes even more insane than he was before. Stumbling around his high-tech laboratory, mumbling to himself, Brady experiences an epiphany that leads him to design a fifth iteration of his doomsday device. Find out what he designs, and where that line of thought ends up taking him, in this strange story about a stranger, mad man.

These two poems are about driving in Oregon. Sometimes the view outside my windows was beautiful, but often the driving there was stressful, frustrating, and dangerous.

This story, They Stole God, is one of my favorites from this collection, delving into theology, cosmology, ethics & morality, while telling a tale that ends up containing dramatic & violent bank robberies and the violation of the sanctity of religious dogma – by force. Follow a group of monk-like religious adepts and their friends as they find that the deeper into the secrets of their religion they delve, the more impossible their escape from its clutches becomes. Some readers may want to look up the nature of such far-flung physics concepts as dark matter, dark energy, and the nature of singularities to understand the full scope of theology herein, and others will just want to know what strange plan they come up with next.

This poem is about the sometimes inconvenient and sometimes uncomfortable side effects of using modafinil, a drug that allows you to stay up nigh-indefinitely. I wrote 90% of Untrue Tales… Book Three in a single 60-hour session with the help of modafinil, and as stated in this poem, I’ve also used it to make cross-country drives without stopping to sleep.

Both poems today were written at Shoshone Falls in Idaho, just after the sun had disappeared and before the light was gone.
