The conclusion to the debut story of Small World Protection Agency is now available from Trestle Press!

Without having to spend his time constantly job-hunting, my father was able to focus more energy on his religious pursuits and impositions. He became more adamant about going to church – rain, shine, or apocalypse. That Sunday was the first time we stayed to attend the after-church blesstivities: Bible study for my father (my mother refused to escalate to this level of insanity), and Sunday school for my brothers and I.

I came to the Sunday School room hesitantly. My dad guided me…

As some of you know I started a new book a few days ago. The title is IMAGINATION and it’s the wildest concept I’ve had yet. Here’s the preliminary tagline: (What if everything around us, our friends, our surroundings, the universe, what if all we experience is just a figment of someone’s imagination? And what if that someone is dying?) I’m very excited about this one as I’ve been thinking about this possibility for a long time. The book will be written in the style of one of my earlier…

My father, Wilbur Chaffey Stockton, was twenty years old when I was born. At that time he was employed as a bus driver for Safeway Trailways driving the New York to D.C. route, and was the best bus driver I ever saw. He could park a big ACF bus on a gnat’s backside. He hated the name Wilbur and always insisted on being called Bill.  As Pop always had an eye for the…

“I got a job!” my dad cried excitedly, bursting into the living room. It had been nearly a solid three months of rejections since the human plumbing malfunction, and I must say, my father had been more stable than any of us had anticipated. He had been taking better care of himself since the conversion and all of us were beginning to think that his newfound salvation was an improvement. In the evenings when he came home, he was pleasant, despite the string of rejections he had suffered. He…

The afternoon ritual of my brothers and I had always been the same as the ritual of most American children: hours of the pleasant vacuousness of television, the Internet, and video punctuated by dinner, homework, and bed. The system had worked very well. The violence and sexuality of such media had never led my brothers and I to the atrocities of rape, assault, prostitution, drug abuse, drive-bys, or the equally sinful cursing that were touted by more reactionary individuals, so no one fully…

Jesus may have given my father hope, promise, the faith to go on, and the blind assurance of an afterlife. Unfortunately, he was unable to get my father a job. Perhaps Jesus Fernando, our former gardener, would have been able to, but he was long gone.

It had been a week since my dad’s conversion, and his transformation seemed for the best. Every morning he would wake up earlier than anyone to pray for a successful interview. He would gather his briefcase filled with resumes and cover…
