A postmodern society, one in which gratuitous sexuality is as common as saying "hello," but is shamed and made a subject of ridicule... This is the confused world that the spunky teenager named Moxy Elliot had to grow up in. Mocked by adults for her low-brow sexy appearance, and treasured by perverted teens with low standards for the same reason, she has been trained to sell herself as a toy. The result is a confused life, which had been compounded by years of broken socialization. The only glimmer of hope for her is a girl in her art class, a girl to whom Moxy is drawn like a moth... For she seems to lack the parts that Moxy feels have been stripped from her, by her environment itself. Engaging and provocative, this thriller and coming-of-age drama is a wild ride with a deep and complicated narrative that calls into question our views of innocence, moral absolutes, and how we treat ourselves in our conflicted social structure; and what this means for us as a species.

He is now to return to the capital of Dawnton to report on the mission, not knowing of the conspiracy growing around him. This is the first chapter in the second draft of my current WIP.

Joel Wyatt is a lowly call center representative who works for the "big, evil empire". No, really... the maniacal CEO of Vaig Communications has battled against some of the greatest costumed crusaders the world has ever known. Not that that has anything to do with Joel; he's just trying to keep the peace with his girlfriend, Gwen, make time for bowling with his buddy, Spliff, and afford the ever-rising rent prices in Denver, Colorado. But strange things are afoot in the 303 area code, and suddenly, Joel is finding himself face to face with the sort of heroes, villains, and giant, radioactive monsters that he used to only read about on his news feed. If he's not careful, Joel might just move from being a spectator to an active participant in a series of events that could change the course of history itself... and maybe even his own life.

"Did I ever tell you the one about the man who read his own obituary?" Sometimes you'll find yourself living in a shotgun shack, and wonder "how did I get here?" Well I don't consider myself an authority on metaphysical contemplation and neither should you. "Well the universe is shaped exactly like the earth, you go in a straight line long enough and you'll end up exactly where you were." Don't take my word for it, just see what your own mind can conjure when uninhibited.

Cultures are dying. Creativity is dying. Individuality and originality are cause for jailing. Refusal to do as told results in termination.
