Blurb:
In some worlds, there are monsters behind every catastrophe.
Tom lives in one of those worlds, and he is blessed, or cursed, to be
able to see the monsters. He learns that the world is not supposed to
be that way, and it is a symptom of the breakdown of Reality.
Sometimes, the world drafts you to save it.
Tom realizes that he and the people he gathers in his travels are
supposed to fix the world. He doesn’t know how, and he doesn’t know why,
but the fates are conspiring to make him a reluctant hero. Anyone that
knew Tom would know that was not flattering, just inconvenient and
idiotic. Tom suspected that he should be siding with the monsters.
What do you do when the Monster is in the mirror?
People around Tom have a habit of turning up dead. Some of the deaths
he knows he had a hand in, and most of those deserved death, at least
in some psychedelic lights. Others turn up dead, and Tom has no memory
of it, but he does have a suspect; Himself.
If he repairs the world, will there still be a place in it for a monster like him?
Excerpt:
Something soft and pliable surrounded his face, and his hands were
clutching the same sort of thing. Tom still smelled the aroma of
Lavender. He opened his eyes, and looking up slightly, he saw the well
proportioned navel in the black landscape that was Veritasia. His hands
gripped her beautiful ass, and her legs were wrapped comfortably around
him. Being properly positioned, he went in for a quick kiss on the lips
that never speak.
This must have served for waking her up. The next few moments were
taken up by the need to renew and reinforce some late night memories
that they had created last night. Tom had always considered Halle Berry
to be an ideal womanly body of sorts, but he would not have traded the
acrobatics that he and Veritasia engaged in last night, even for Halle.
If there was anything wrong with Halle’s body, it would be that her
boobs were just slightly too big. Veritasia’s was perfect.
They had pulled into this rest stop for the night, and everyone had
taken advantage of the opportunity to sleep. Tom had also taken
advantage of the opportunity of trying for touching that irresistibly
gleaming dark skin that was consuming his attention.
To his surprise, she had responded very positively to his advances.
This came as a relief to Tom, as he had determined to have her, and he
really didn’t want to have to clean up any loose ends afterwards. He
also wasn’t sure how many others of the group would have become loose
ends if they saw him dispose of her. All water under the bridge now. He
could have his fun, and everybody got to live.
He went out to find whatever passed for a tourism building in this
rest stop. He finally found it on the last path that he looked for it,
and found that it had a map showing that the border of Arkansas was ten
miles ahead, and at the border they would be treated to the great
Metropolis of Paw Paw, Arkansas, population 812.
He returned to the RV, where he found that the womenfolk had banded
together to brew a pot of coffee, cook an egg, bacon and toast
breakfast, and gossip. He got a cup of the coffee and a plate of the
breakfast. He also got a lingering kiss from Veritasia, fetching
immediate glares from Sally and Charla. Tom wasn’t sure why Charla would
be upset, but he decided to file it away for a rainy day.
Tom had a vague sense that a long time ago, this sort of situation
would have been much more traumatic to him then than it was now. He had
no memory of this, for the period was probably back more than the twenty
year limit on his memories. Somewhere along the way, he had got the
hang of being unconcerned by other people’s reactions to him or about
him. You get more girls, you get less pain, and it makes disposing of
loose ends a much simpler matter.
“Our next stop will be the wonderful Arkansas town of Paw Paw, which
is one of the thousands of towns that has apparently popped up out of
thin air.” Tom said to the group. “It seems to have replaced the city of
Texarkana.”
