51, 52, Then Area 53

May 28, 2021

Matt Stonish is the primary protagonist in Hope: A Wayfarers Story . In a tunnel he is using as a means of subterranean travel he discovers clues that inform him of an artist named Leslie Blackwell who is trapped at top-secret, not so secret Area 53. Matt decides that he must, against all odds, attempt to penetrate 53 and rescue her. Here is some of what Matt knew about the installation, and you dear reader should know this as well: He knew that the vast, underground installation in Warners known to the few as Area 53 was constructed in the shape of a hand. Residents of the area were told during construction that it was a water treatment facility, and being good sheep with short attention spans they did not question it, because TV news and local politicians would not lie, right? Politics and TV news were no longer local, but the narrative remained unchanged. In truth Area 53 was a multidimensional government facility similar to its predecessors 51 and 52. Unlike 51 and 52, it served

The Spirit of Time

February 03, 2021

Sarah Marsden is a young woman suddenly without a home because some bomb-happy quisling decided that he needed to blow her house up! Our fair maiden Sarah; she ends Spirit: A Wayfarers Story . That same comely blond Sarah? Well, she begins Time: A Wayfarers Story , the next book in the series after Spirit . While her part in Spirit is for the most part mysterious, she becomes the central character in Time . The Wayfarers stories are a series, but each title can stand alone as a singular tale. The reading of them from Fortress to Time would provide a chronicling of events and a timeline, all within the framework of a consistent theme. Still, each tale can stand on its own no matter what order the reader consumes them. And yet, having said that, this author would strongly recommend reading Spirit and then moving right into Time . The two stories are connected, without me having intended it that way. Time picks up the gritty, edgy, and at times heartrending End-Times tale and carri

Stille Nacht and Little Drummer Boy

We join Sarah as she makes her way through Fayetteville, New York: Modest ranch houses lined North Burdick Street across from the shopping center. Several of them stood in defiance of Reconstruction Solstice and were splendidly decorated with Christmas lights. The postage stamp front yards of the homes featured nativity scenes and Santa in a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer. A fifteen-foot-tall pine tree in one yard was strung with red and green lights and featured a lighted silver and gold star at the top that managed to stay attached during the gusts of wind. The owner of another house had been the sound tech for False Walrus on their final tour. On a flatbed trailer with a plywood backing and roof he had set up a sound system with two speaker columns, each comprised of a 15” woofer, a 12” mid-range, and a horn for high-end. From an amplifier and mixing console in the living room he pushed music out at 1,600 watts while the lights arrayed around the outside of the home blinked in sy

The Eye Sees You

The signs of the desecration and destruction that were the Reconstruction were everywhere. A sign in front of the Episcopal church across the street read “Christmas Eve Service Cancelled. Happy R-Solstice.” Spray-painted on the public library’s door was come new world savior , each word done in one of the RYBB colors. It seemed that everyone knew the red, yellow, blue, and black, but they had yet to see the figure that would claim to be the god of it. The police station behind the library had been abandoned after it was trashed by rioters in November. The windows were boarded up, and on one of them was spray-painted WE POLICE OURSELVES . On another was the upside-town “T” known as a falsum, which was part of the UpTack Security logo. On yet another section of plywood was a human eye painted by someone with artistic skill. The iris was done in red, yellow, and blue, while the pupil remained black. Below the eye in black paint was the letter C, and below that was U. When com

It's Gonna Be a Long, Cold, and Dark Winter

Alias Elvis tunes into AM 63, where he catches a broadcast by pirate radio personality Donny Bee sharing useful nuggets of information: “Right now, it’s fiat military rule until the regional governors are installed after the transition into the North American Union is finalized. There won’t be any more voting, do you understand? You see that your retirement benefits are now provided by a world financial consortium, right? You see there’s nothing but RYBBCoin, right? “Are you hungry? I’ll bet you are by golly! Did you prepare all those months ago? Of course, you didn’t, because you thought Uncle Government would provide for you, because after all, you paid into it, right? “Normalcy bias is like brain damage folks, yessir! You think because you’ve got your Abundant Life digital applique and your roll up your sleever and your ALL phone that everything is taken care of, don’t you? Well, expect consistent outages with the Abundant Life payment system because the real Mark of the Beast is
