1. The Fallen Caryatid » reviewsPresident Mark T. Adams loves his country. The Red National Army, a terrorist organization that recently obliterated San Francisco, obviously does not. A story of starry-eyed patriotism and idealism in a world just as cynical as ours.General - Fiction Rated: T - English - Drama/Tragedy - Chapters: 3 - Words: 9,178 - Reviews: 1 - Updated: 7-25-09 - Published: 6-9-092. What is a life unlived?A short little ditty about wasted lives. Self explanatory, I should think.Complete - Life - Fiction Rated: K - English - Poetry/Humor - Chapters: 1 - Words: 211 - Reviews: 0 - Updated: 7-11-09 - Published: 7-11-093. Loneliness is more than a feelingA short poem of pure emotion. It makes sense inside my head, but I'm not sure how well it translated into words. I haven't written poetry--seriously, at least--in about two and a half years. Call this a failed experiment.Complete - Life - Fiction Rated: T - English - Poetry/Angst - Chapters: 1 - Words: 244 - Reviews: 0 - Updated: 7-2-09 - Published: 7-2-094. Crimes Against Humanity reviewsAn old theme; an old story. No new perspective. Just a fusion work, written by virtue of caffeine-induced insomnia. Short, but certainly not sweet.Complete - General - Fiction Rated: T - English - Crime/Horror - Chapters: 1 - Words: 1,326 - Reviews: 1 - Updated: 6-26-09 - Published: 6-26-095. Linear ThinkingWhat does Sisyphus think about as he rolls his rock up and down the hill? An assignment for my English class. "The Myth of Sisyphus" by Albert Camus was our source of "evidence". Very rough narrative, written quickly. Reviews still welcome, though.Complete - Mythology - Fiction Rated: T - English - General/Tragedy - Chapters: 1 - Words: 857 - Reviews: 0 - Updated: 4-26-09 - Published: 4-26-096. The Torch Has Been Passed reviewsA blurb that doesn't quite fit anywhere else. Is life a panic in a burning theater, as Sartre asserted? Or is there some greater meaning to the blaze? How can you live a meaningful life when you believe that life is meaningless? My incoherent thoughts.Complete - Essay - Fiction Rated: K - English - General - Chapters: 1 - Words: 539 - Reviews: 1 - Updated: 4-13-09 - Published: 4-13-097. God Killed My MuseA day when I found supreme inspiration in writers' block. An old poem, but I am still rather fond of it. Reviews always welcome.Complete - Life - Fiction Rated: K+ - English - Poetry/Angst - Chapters: 1 - Words: 777 - Reviews: 0 - Updated: 4-13-09 - Published: 4-13-098. Conversation Between Head, Heart, and Soul reviewsThe only dramatic script I've ever written. It scares me a little. No, it scares me a lot. This piece is about the absence of compassion--the attempt to suppress all emotion in favor of reason. It's either about a Vulcan, Dr. Gregory House, or me.Complete - Play - Fiction Rated: T - English - Drama/Tragedy - Chapters: 1 - Words: 2,205 - Reviews: 2 - Updated: 4-7-09 - Published: 4-7-099. The Mere Joy of LivingCaptain Anna Rand, USN, commands the USS Babylon. While in deep space, the Sun experiences a scientific impossibility.

We Bled for Independence reviewsThis is about a girl named Cady Alcott, who is of my own creation, in the Pottawatomie, Kansas of 1854-a place suffering from the recently passed Kansas-Nebraska Act.
