I'm 18 now, getting ready to head off to college. Here's a collection of most of my work from the past five years.
My most recent stories were written at the beach, when I was seiged in by the unbelievable heat. Three of them are dedicated to my friends--"Broken Glass"," The Dreamer's War", and "Legendary Heroes' Club." Remnant's idea came to me randomly one evening, and I wrote it out, and liked how it turned out. The Key was sort of like my version of a journal; it's a pretty intimate exploration of my view on religion.
The Cellar Dweller is just a creepy idea that came to me one night. I stayed up until 2 in the morning to finish it, and by then I was so freaked out that I had difficulties sleeping. The writing's a bit sub-par, partially rushed, but it was a one night thing, after all.
The Road to Redemption is kind of a sad, brief, and violent love story that touches on the darker side of service to one's country.
One of my two main projects was "A Bond of Blood"--an action/horror dealing with vampires and the agency which hunts them down. No, it's not a carbon copy of the generic crap that's cluttering fictionpress these days. The vampires are biologically altered madmen, and an NSA-controlled sector called Vampex is charged with hunting them down. The story revolves around a teenaged vampire, Rogan Lemarc, who finds himself torn by loyalty between a soldier of Vampex and a depraved mentor.
"A Soldier's Honor" follows the story of a band of famous German soldiers in the dwindling days of WW2. With the Allies marching steadily through Italy in 1944, the German High Command has ordered all efforts to slow down and sabotuege the advancement. The legendary soldiers of the 1st German Paratrooper division find themselves faced with terrible odds as they struggle to perform their duties.
The poems are self-explainable. I wrote some of them on a whim, whenever I picked up an emotion and carried it all the way through. "Moonlight" is mostly imagery; "Tango Mortale" was inspired by Mr. and Mrs. Smith, " Snowy Park" is my favorite, " Hell Train" obviously has darker undertones.
Finally, I messed around this summer with the categorey of "humor," although some would argue with me on that. Forgotten Encounters of Historical Significane and Dykes on Bikes are little mini-series that kept me entertained during the summer's most boring days.
