Chapter 54 of Traveling Salesman: Astronomgonist I just wrote and uploaded was inspired by true events that happened to me when I was 16 during a medical procedure. I just added a sci fi twist to it. And it was even more traumatic in my real life than I made it for my character. I did a more concise version of events for the character. Maybe one day I'll write a book about my full real-life story during that time in my life. It was such a long time ago, but I remember it as vividly as if it had happened today. My characters always live vicariously through me never the other way around.
