Philosophyfiction Stories

Philosophy fiction; short story exploring themes of ethics, justice, parenting, and subjectivity.

In a distant future where Earth is forgotten by name but remembered in blood, an engineer of divine machinery begins to unravel the echoes of a godless ancestry. Haunted by visions she cannot translate and drawn to forgotten symbols etched in her very DNA, she searches for truth in a world that worships machines as angels and mistakes ancient scriptures for metaphors of control. As she dives deeper into the subconscious dreamscape of her ancestors, she begins to question everything, divinity, creation, even reality itself. Is faith just memory misfiring through generations? Are the machines she builds sacred... or projections of a frightened consciousness yearning for something lost?

Amanda is 41, divorced, and broke. With no other options, she leaves Chicago and moves back in with her mother in the small Texas town where she grew up. On a whim, she visits her old college campus. Inspired, she signs up for a philosophy class as a way to rekindle her thinking skills and rebuild her sense of self. As readers take the class with Amanda, they will explore a variety of provocative books and class discussions that could help them gain insight and clarity regarding their own life journeys. This is a work of fiction, philosophy class, and therapeutic experience rolled into one novel. It was written by a former instructor whose passion for guiding people to find, and awaken to, their callings found expression through this story. References to the works discussed will be offered with each class for readers who want to engage in the works.

A surreal and darkly comedic romp through the bureaucratic unraveling of existence. It turns omnicide into a cosmic clerical error.
