Elevator

by M. Jones

Paul is just trying to make it to school, but time is an infection that can't be cured. An elevator, a collection of strangers and the snapping of blue crab claws. Nothing will save them from the sands of time.

This volume also contains several new short stories: A Monsanto cow breeds a new unwelcome sickness in Moo. Discarded computers get their revenge in Breathing Life Into New Technology. Loneliness brings on an unwelcome alliance in Something In The Water. They Took Manhattan will make you check your roach motel. Interesting Drug discusses the dangers of eating non organic, and My Heart Will Go On investigates the concept of loving someone forever (it ain't pretty).

About the author

I am a neurotic, typing mess who sits in front of an old Olympia manual typewriter, appreciating the way it reduces my fingertips to bloodied stumps, the flesh punctured ragged by broken bones. Ghosts hover in my periphery, while time and space travel long in two directions, in a vast circle that never manages to complete itself.

I have currently completed and published a very disturbing m/m (gay) novel that explores themes of abuse, gender identity, vigilantism and emotional compartmentalization. IN ABSENTIA can be found at http://bloodlettersink.com or at Amazon.

Contrary to popular belief, I have not wrestled tigers in India, took a bullet for a nun or obtained a master's degree in Japanese breakfast cereals.

I am, however, very fond of knives.
