This is just me letting out my inner crazy. If you're up for a little random, well read on my friend, read on. I like you. Nice hat. ..................................................................................................................................The first thing to establish is that this story is not about Mark. No-sir-ee. It's about Charlie. Charlie is cool. He has tomato juice and a green triangle and great ears. Really great ears. I mean, damn. So Charlie's walking along one day when he hears a scream. What on earth could it be? No really. Screaming? I mean what the heck is up with that. So what with the blood-curdling and the mystery-hot-on-his-heels and yadayada, Charlie sets out on an enchanting quest that will lead him towards peril and adventure and potential lost socks. By the way, sorry about the narrator. He's cheap, but he can be a real asshole sometimes. Do forgive if he says anything weird. It isn't his fault that he was born with a disagreeable temperament. ...................................................................................................................................Incidentally, if you do happen to think of a better title than that, then please, do share. I honestly couldn't think of one.

Throwback Vol. #1 (Violent Faith)

In light of readers telling me how much they enjoyed the short story collection, "Strange Mutations (one man's trash)", I decided to dig deeper into that old, smelly trash-bin and see what else I could scrounge up. So, readers beware, I will be publishing a slew of old stories under what I decided to call- "The throwback series". I needed to find a way to segregate these stories from my current writing because what's presented here are some rough drafts that spawned from an amateur who was just beginning to dip his toe into the world of literature and didn't have the slightest clue what he was doing. But don't run off!!! As long as you don't expect a bestseller, and keep an open mind, you may be surprised to find something you enjoy about these twisted tales. I do this only because I find it fun to go back as see how much I've grown as a writer from where I started, and only hope you have fun with them as well. Just don't hold it against me. I'll think you'll find a big difference in prose and style if you check out some recent stories under my profile. So first in the Throwback line-up is... Violent Faith. He has his sloppy moments, but if you stick around long enough, he just might surprise you and occasionally knock one out of the park. The title of this novella pretty much covers the plot, so sorry, no description really necessary. I was inspired to write this story after reading Jon Krakauer's novel, "Under the banner of heaven", which was based on true events. My story, however, is completely fictional. It is not meant to be an attack on any certain person or religious group, although it may seem that way at times. I was just having fun. I'm well aware that most Mormons are not psychopaths. It was just a fun theme to play around with. All persons, places, and events are nothing more than my imagination and not to be taken seriously. If you knew me, you'd know I should never be taken seriously. Cheers!! your friend, M.D. Stephens
