Pastiche Stories

Outside the convento of Tiano, Basilio tells a young boy stories of ghosts that haunt their town; ghosts seeking solace, as well as redemption and revenge. He also speaks of his longing to see these ghosts, to find the answers to his own questions. But maybe the ghost he is looking for is closer than he thinks. This is set after the events of El Filibusterismo, the novel by Jose Rizal, and also mentions some characters from Noli me Tangere. Content warning: descriptions of gore and violence

Poetry is not my forte, that is for sure! I have only read a handful of pieces, so I'm not that familiar with the art. However, I have yet to post anything, and this pastiche was one of my school assignments - where my writing time goes - and I decided that I would share it with you!

Will the United States last for three hundred years? Julian West has his doubts, but after waking up in 2076, he finds the nation has been reborn like a phoenix. Idabee Leete, daughter of the doctor who revived Julian, serves as his guide within the American Union, the organization who used the lessons of Martin Luther King Jr. and game theory to take control of Congress. Julian soon learns that the cyclical forces of history which allowed a nonviolent revolution to take place in the 2020s are the same forces that could have torn the nation in two. What sacrifices is he willing to make in order to bring about the best possible future for the United States?

The innovations laid out within its 44 chapters culminate with an opportunity for peacemakers to collectively bargain for an upgrade to our social contract in the upcoming election.

My fiction response to "Writing Challenge: Texture, Tone, and Style" from page 61 of "Wonderbook The Illustrated Guide To Creating Imaginative Fiction" by Jeff Vandermeer. A painting (Scott Eagle's cover for Vandermeer's City of Saints and Madmen) is given as an example of a collage. The challenge is then to create something similar using words. (Part 1) ARDOR SAUCE: a Pastiche This was created from public domain sources I found by searching for a term I chose arbitrarily "mushroom." I sampled phrases containing this term, as well as any nearby phrases that caught my eye -the pastiche was created by shuffling phrases from these four sources -then references to "mycelium" or "mushroom" were replaced with one of: -- "compulsion", "fixation", "whim", "ardor", "craving", or "longing" -- a very few other minor alterations to text or changes in punctuation were included Public domain works used: -MUSHROOMS: How to Grow Them. A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON Mushroom Culture for Profit and Pleasure. BY WILLIAM FALCONER -STUDENT'S HAND-BOOK OF MUSHROOMS OF AMERICA by Thomas Taylor -Mushroom Town by Oliver Onions -The Whitehouse Cookbook by Mrs. F.L. Gillette (Part 2) Alchemical Remix After completing Ardor Sauce, I wanted to tie its various samples together a bit more tightly without changing them too drastically, so I added an "alchemist training manual" through-line, then reshuffled and pruned them to more closely approximate a time sequence.

I am Carmen. Have you heard of me? I guess not. Aren't you one of those kids who sang the chant "Pen Pen de Sarapen" with smiles painted on their faces on the streets where I used to collapse on, battered and bruised? Hear me out, please. I am Carmen, a maiden of misfortune on the hands of the men who treated me like a toy.
