HYPERSPACE
Why is Planet Earth a
LUNATIC ASYLUM
?
Is our species, homo sapiens sapiens, innately suicidal? To this very day there is a multitude of individuals spread around the planet who are convinced that if they utterly annihilate those who are different than they, and kill themselves in the process, they will achieve Paradise! Is there something intrinsically twisted in our DNA that has resulted in a history of bloody violence and torture? Or is there another factor? Is there an existential element which though known to some psychologists and to a particular school of obstetrics that remains ignored by the medical profession, thus allowing a destructive, brain twisting series of events to torturously dominate the lives of individuals around the planet, allowing them to act out compulsively in irrational ways to their detriment oblivious to their own survival and often having as their goal mass annihilation of others?
When you read HYPERSPACE you will be shown the origin of the element in one individual which malevolently influences the brains of many around the planet. You will then experience the likely end result! HYPERSPACE is so written that the reader virtually perceives events through the sense perceptions of the protagonist.
If one views the Map of Literature, one sees bursts of literary brightness sporadically across its span. HYPERSPACE, which brings a new literary style to the reader, is such a burst of literary brightness. It is a work of literature you owe it to yourself to possess!

IF YOU DOUBT THAT HOMO SAPIENS IS A LUNATIC SPECIES, LISTEN TO THE NEWS AND READ HISTORY. THE QUESTION TO BE ASKED IS WHY! HOMO SAPIENS' LUNACY EXPLAINS ITS COROLLARY: THAT PLANET EARTH IS A LUNATIC ASYLUM! READ HYPERSPACE AND WATCH THE PROCESS IN MICROCOSM UNFOLD BEFORE YOUR EYES.
In purely psychophysiological terms, this story is about a man with a malfunctioning brain. So great is the extremity of this malfunction that he crosses the line separating the neurotic from the psychotic, though this is never stated. Rather, HYPERSPACE showsthe reader events in the protagonist's life that are pathetic, heartrending, tragic, and chilling. Beginning with Jason's inability to consummate a relationship with a warm, alluring, high-spirited, and extraordinarily beautiful young woman, the story delves into his past, utilizing his self-questioning concerning this failure as a triggering mechanism of reminiscing which transports him to events of his adolescence, resulting, eventually, in his regressing to the first day of his life. Through Jason's vivid pictorial imagination and his great power of recall the reader is introduced to a young life being subjected to traumatic experiences having his parents and an indifferent birthing facility as their primary sources. After the story's first depiction of a traumatic childhood scene Jason is shown walking into the semi-desert plain beyond his parents' house. There, in the darkening evening, he "befriends" a small twinkling star visible to him as he stands near a rocky peak. When he "realizes" that it "guided" him in his walk, drew him away from his home, in order that they meet, he "reaches out" to it. From then on this star becomes Jason's focus of escaping from hell. Finally, after his aforementioned failure with the woman, he decides he must travel to his star friend. Boarding a "spacecraft" Jason begins a voyage which will shock and chill the reader with its take-your-breath-away ending.
The story–dedicated to psychologist Arthur Janov and to obstetrician Frederick Leboyer–is deeply psychological, showing a direct connection between birth and post-birth trauma, sexuality, and suicide. It also utilizes the protagonist as a thought provoking vehicle of competing philosophies (existentialism, world systemic theories, and Stoicism), and as a passionate judge of classical and contemporary music, making HYPERSPACE provocative and relevant.
Sexually explicit material is integral to, but does not dominate, the story; while useof colorful, intricately descriptive prose and ardent poetry throughout HYPERSPACE, make it a literary delicacy. The story's refusal to shy away from the protagonist's abnormal psychophysiological state with all of its ramifications aligns HYPERSPACE with psychologically profound novels of such caliber as Sartre's Nausea and Salinger's A Catcher in the Rye. HYPERSPACE is a realistic literary analysis of a person whose brain is programmed to self-destruct.

HYPATIA
chariot-woman riding calm–hysterically shrieking mob besieging–rushing grabbing palla tearing–in dank church cellar dimly lit/men holding her down raking her skin–her strap-bound pain-writhed twisting body–her horrifying anguished screaming cries–in narrow church confines an echoing hell–bleeding breathing skinless soul iniquitous men into flames are throwing–mitered smiling bishop nodding/slavering at sight of this God-bedamned act . . . ". . . man! And they thought they were being good Christians!" 0 ". . . but when he laid his diseased subhuman hands on Hypatia, Cyril the saint murdered philosophy, math, science and classical civilization all in one shot, 'cause Hypatia was the Einstein of her day and last of the Neo-Platonists." He is beginning rising, turning towards the doorway at the other side of the room. 0 "Jesus would have gone after the fanatic Cyril, that bishop, that saint, the sadistic murderous subhuman fiend, with a sword."
AURELIAN
In the year 260 the emperor Valerian marched a Roman army into Persia, historically an enemy of Rome. The entire army was destroyed, Valerian taken alive, tortured to death, the Persians stuffing his body in taxiderm fashion. At the same time the Empire was beset on all sides by barbarian hoards, consisting mostly of Germanic tribes, most notably the Goths and the Alemanni. Hence, the Roman empire at that point in time was on the verge of collapse three hundred years before its actual fall. Successor to Emperor Valerian was his son, Gallienus, a profligate and, as described by the English historian A.H.M. Jones, a "poltroon"! Gallienus, more interested in enjoying life, eschewing the military discipline ingrained in the Roman psyche since the days of the Republic almost a thousand years before, allowed the empire's decline to precipitously proceed. At this time military officers of the empire's long held provinces, rather than the politicians of Italy, vied for the imperial Purple. During the reign of Gallienus, the Illyrians were the provincials most powerfully visible in the Legions, Illyria having been a province located in the area of modern Albania. These Illyrians, filled with youth, dynamism, and military pride, could no longer tolerate Gallienus' incompetence and possible cowardice, so they overthrew him, he now being replaced by Claudius II, an Illyrian soon to be known as Gothicus, because the very year of his ascendency to the Purple he smashed the Goths so badly in the battle of Naissus, that this tribe of vicious invaders were quiet for the next seventy years. Claudius died of plague the following year. The next man to ascend to the Purple was another Illyrian, Aurelian. During the time of Aurelian's reign another Germanic tribe invaded. This time, however, the scene of strife was not in central Europe, but in Italy, with Rome herself the prime target! With a shadow of the Legions that once conquered half the world, Aurelian literally exterminated every Alemannic warrior that entered Italy. When Aurelian finished destroying the Alemanni, he turned eastward. Reinforcing the Legions with great manpower, as in days of old, he marched against Zenobia, queen of Palmyra, a city in Syria, which had claimed the eastern part of the Empire as its own. After having re-conquered that half of the empire, Aurelian had new coins minted, his image on the obverse with the words RESTITUTOR ORBIS (RESTORER OF THE WORLD).
