A devoted priest loses his faith while trapped in an outhouse.
Filled with existential despair and acerbic wit these short stories or, 'lamentations,' grapple with themes ranging from contemporary politics, to God and religion, to the absurdity of everyday existence.
From the opening moments exploring the unraveling mind of a character on a journey through the vacuity of consumer society, to the finale in which we await the arrival of an absent Messiah, these stories cut to the heart of the human condition.

The Last God Standing
A god's power is not in his strength. It is in belief. Once, he understood this better than any other. While gods of war and wisdom carved their names into stone, he whispered doubts, unraveling faith until only his name remained. Now, he stands alone-the last god in a world that no longer remembers the ones who came before. But something is shifting. Prayers grow quieter. Temples stand empty. The power he once grasped so effortlessly begins to slip through his fingers. Victory was supposed to be forever. But even gods are not immune to time. And when belief fades... what remains?Complete

The Novel
Plot: The plot focuses on an unnamed depressed apathetic writer experiencing writer's block. After the success of his critically acclaimed debut novel, The Novel, he runs out of ideas to write for another masterpiece. He goes on a journey, even having to do things he wouldn't normally do just for the sake of getting ideas, just to reclaim his lost creativity, and he also reflects his experiences in life and love. The novel is part satire, part philosophical, due to its existentialist blend inspired from the works of Camus, Sartre, Dostoyevsky, and Kafka with a mix of my trademarks—surreal and dark humor, violence, parody, satirical commentary, horror and shock value, depression, and nihilism. Genre: Transgressive Fiction, Absurdist Fiction R-Rated. For mature readers only. (as usual)Complete
