Ghost (working title)

Posted on March 2, 2019 by Philip

ghost (noun) – the disembodied spirit of a dead person manifested among the living Kat’s flat panel display was the only source of light in her living room, the ceiling fan the only thing loud enough to make noise.  Her nocturnal affinity meant that 11 PM brought her highest state of awareness.  The lightcast display…

5 – Media

Posted on July 27, 2017 by Philip

The second row of keys didn’t work either, and to make matters worse, I got caught again.  The most frustrating thing was that I was prepared this time.  I looked over, made sure Bookie was still occupied, and when I tried to open the door, she noticed me. That meant I either needed to get…

4 – Lab

Posted on July 21, 2017 by Philip

I was nervous for the first time in what seemed like decades.  There wasn’t a lot that could affect me anymore, but sitting there in class waiting to hear the announcements was indeed inducing a strange amount of fear and anxiety within me.  The weird thing, though, is I liked the feeling.  Being nervous was…

3 – Events

Posted on July 17, 2017 by Philip

I awoke from a dreamless sleep and knocked my phone off the nightstand trying to turn the alarm off.  What a fine start to the day. My phone buzzed shortly after landing on the floor.  I picked it up almost mindlessly and stared at the screen. “Morning sunshine.” We hadn’t been to school in around…

2 – Memories

Posted on July 13, 2017 by Philip

When you recall a memory, you’re actually recalling the last time you made that recollection.  It’s how memories can change over time.  When every day is the same, those memories become tangled up in ways that it is nearly impossible to describe.  We’d skipped school and driven to the beach many times, but when was…

1 – Repeat

Posted on June 30, 2017 by Philip

I slammed my hand into my phone, groggily trying to silence the obnoxious alarm that was ringing in my ear.  My mornings were a continuous loop of dreaming about smashing my phone to bits, but not actually doing anything other than lying there, glad that I could at least make it shut up.  The first…

SASPER (Chapter 1, cyberpunk novel)

Posted on January 21, 2016 by Philip

Chapter 1 Nathaniel Droyer raps his thumb against the bottom of the leather-clad steering wheel of his three-year old SASPER sedan as it carries him down I-10 east just outside of New Orleans.  The electric blue gauges cast a dim illumination into the car, but it is drowned out by the conglomerate glow of headlights and taillights leaking from…

Original: Prologue – Narrator: ????? – Add ‘Em Up and Knock ‘Em Down

Posted on July 5, 2014 by Philip

This is the original version of the prologue to my first novel, “We Put the ‘Dual’ in ‘Individual.’”  I am posting this to showcase how bad my writing was, as compared to how it had progressed as of  April 2012, when I rewrote this prologue.   “Hey!  Be quiet back there!” I was scared to…

Chapter 1 – Transfer Student

Posted on December 27, 2013 by Philip

Waking up at 5:45 AM was a slap in the face, and had been every weekday since Ben had started high school.  He thought it would get easier with time, but every single day when his alarm went off, he moaned and tried to think of any reason he could to skip school. It wasn’t…

The Day He Saw the Helicopter

Posted on May 4, 2012 by Philip

The view out of the seventh floor meeting room window was of skyscrapers against a backdrop of sky so cerulean that it looked like the ocean had changed places with the heavens.  It would’ve been so much better to be out there in the beautiful spring weather.  Perhaps riding around with the windows down, his…
