Echo: A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel

Metrosexuals have taken over the world.  They’ve stripped me naked and fixed me to a vertical rack, stretching my body across a set of wooden rollers.  They’ve covered me in waxing cream and plastered waxing strips over every inch of my body.  RIIIIIIIPPP!  I scream as a giant tract of hair flies off me.  They do it again, and my heart drops as I realize they’re about to make me look like a ten-year old boy.  Suddenly I see my loyal terrier, Bitefighter, running toward me with my eReader in his teeth.  He spits it out, and it opens to Echo.  Magic flash.  A single mustache hair from Teddy Roosevelt sinks towards me, catching the light in a twinkling shine.  My eyes fixate on it as it drifts down…down…as soon as it touches my chest my biceps grow into thick, rippling lengths of python-like muscle.  A hardened eight-pack pops out on my torso.  I flex inward, shattering my bonds and throw my head back in a triumphant roar, veins popping from my neck.  Yeah, I know how to throw jabs, crosses, uppercuts and overhands, but I stick with the manliest punch ever—the haymaker—as I start mowing through legions of overly groomed, metrosexual elf-men.

There is no way I will submit to daily hours of plucking, tweezing, and whatever the hell else I have to do to appear as if puberty passed me by.  Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here:  Vol. 1 on Kindle.  Vol. 2 on Kindle here:  Vol.2 on Kindle.

IMHO, effectiveness is usually determined by the ability to switch from generalization to the nuanced and then back again…thus matching each context with a harmonized response.

Echo: A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel

I’m at an office function, bored out of my mind.  I notice the boss glaring at me.  “What?” I ask.  He whispers into his collar.  Suddenly, a trap door opens beneath me, and I’m falling into a fiery pit.  I grab the sides of craggy rock walls as hellish updrafts wash across my skin, instantly making me break out in a prickly sweat.  Down below, a giant, tentacle-covered insectoid chitters greedily and utters, “ZUUUUULLLL…”  My boss crouches on his haunches near the pit’s edge, his lips split into an evil grin.  “What do you think Kent?  You think that we would tolerate any hint of free-thinking around here?  That we would tolerate the robust sound of your piss hitting the urinal, putting the rest of us micro-phallused office drones to shame?”  I say, “I’m not sure that’s how you can judge the size of a man’s—”  His face twists in rage.  “SHUT UP!  Right now you’re going to feed the insectoid.  As ALL do when they dare to defy Fucklor—the unholy god of office life.”  The rocks under my grip increase in temperature…my fingers are slipping….suddenly I’m falling.  Mid-air, I reach in my pocket and open my eReader to Echo.  Magic flash.  A badass, Jahn-teller weave begins enveloping my body in a speedy creep.  Photonic matter chain-mail flashes over me as I disappear into the insectoid’s belly.  A few seconds pass…then BOOM!  With an explosion of boot-jets, I blast out of that foul creature, and I raise my fist as I fly upward, punching through my office high rise and crumbling it around me.  My insectoid-infected coworkers all perish in a mass of hissing screams.  I give them two middle fingers, barrel-roll, and fly off into the boundless sky.  All the while, I’m grinning in sheer joy as laser-edged telemetry dances within my helmet interface.

When the boss tries to feed you to the insectoid, be ready.  Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here:  Vol. 1 on Kindle.  Vol. 2 on Kindle here:  Vol.2 on Kindle.

It’s important to inject scalability and nuance into generalized philosophy.  Tactics may not translate from 50 lb kid to 300 lb fighter, or from human to grizzly bear.  This is not a call to be cynical, but a call to push awareness/creativity/exploration…

So that we can avoid the mire of staid thinking and create NEW responses for The Unscripted.  

Echo: A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel

I’m deep in meditation, fully immersed in an immaterial dimension.  Clarified light washes over me.  I spin in place, letting it pour across my full-hearted smile.  Suddenly, something strikes me in the chest.  I’m sent spinning downward, into a black nightmare realm of tattered jags and ugly angles.  WTF?  I cast a wild glance around, and see a crystal-festooned New Ager approach me, laughing while slowly clapping his hands.  “You think you get enlightenment before us, Kent?  Think again.”  He snaps his fingers and a horde of patchouli-covered crazies are running at me, galloping on all fours and baring their teeth.  They smother me in a group hug, chanting their stupid chants with their stupid forced grins…NO.  I open my eReader to Echo.  Magic flash.  My hand thrusts out of the mob.  A bolt of brilliance crashes down from the sky and courses through my fingers, electrifying my body.  I transform into the latest, greatest model of the Veritech fighter and I hear my voice rise in a defiant scream:  “BY THE POWER OF ROBOTECH!”  Suddenly I’m in battloid mode, blazing away at mobs of vacant-smiled freakshows with my heavy beam cannon.  BO visibly bursts from these fools in noxious green clouds as I litter the ground with bloody, bead-covered limbs.

During your meditation, do not suffer the reek of patchouli.  Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here:  Vol. 1 on Kindle.  Vol. 2 on Kindle here:  Vol.2 on Kindle.
