Brief Author Bio:

I'm a high school English teacher. I teach Mythology and American Literature.

I'm following my bliss.

Synopsis: Just South of Reno

Some kind of western revenge tale that revolves around Nietzsche's philosophy of our terrible freedom, with some magical realism running through there.

Excerpt: Just South of Reno

This next time I awake the sun hangs low and a large moon is pulling up the in the east. But I am still here, in this desert, and I am still half naked with a snake tied around my severed throat. I move my hands to feel its body, and feel a horrible rock materialize in my belly as I realize that it is lifeless.
There is nothing left to do but to head north, and to follow the eastern wash.
