The city of Habromania, the place of creation

You died ten seconds before I got to you. I'm taking those ten seconds back.

Charles Book used to love his job. With promises of exploration, fame and glory, Charles had worked his way through the ranks just to get a shot at the big time, and he had made it. After twenty years he had been assigned to Outpost 21, the farthest human outpost in the solar system. Only problem was, nothing ever happened way out here. With nothing to stare at but empty space, Charles was losing heart. But in the blink of an eye, that is about to change forever.

This is a short story I wrote during the course of a single plane ride from Dallas, Texas, to my home in Lancaster, PA. In it I recount the city I used to live in, Dallas, through vivid mental detail. I went back to sell my novels (The Modern Reformer and Black Genesis: Desert Man) at Dallas Comic Con and found myself with time to spare. So my friend who I was staying with, and is a team member at Modern Comics, walked with me through the city. Than it hit me- my past was there, along with the friends I used to be close to. Yet at that point, they were all gone. I imagine them being where we used to hang out, but it was only a memory. This story explores that concept. Note: It's still a draft. I never really took much time to revise it and go further. I still think it could use a different ending, but I feel that I have to go discover it. Maybe this story is ongoing? I don't know. Anyways, enjoy, and all the best! -Andrew Purdum

When Norm, a Boston businessman on a trip to Tokyo, gets into a random bar conversation with a stranger, all he expects to get out of it are some tips on Japanese etiquette. Instead, he quickly finds himself in an odd discussion about masks he wears every day, midlife crisis and happiness. As their conversation gets stranger and stranger, Norm starts questioning everything he thought he knew about himself ­­-- and about what it means to be happy.

A combination of a novel, a memoir and a travelogue, both fiction and non-fiction, a globe-trotting adventure full of sentiment, music, low budgets, trains, encounters and lifestyle, the author confronts his memories - and the miracles - on the page, and embarks on a new trip to celebrate Christmas in Japan in 2014. This is a flawed attempt at aligning the past from two years ago and the present: the musician, the dreamer and the writer, the philosopher, together in one place. Follow his adventures in Japan, and within the soul. Based 100% on true experiences.
