Sarah and the Crap Hole of a World

Sarah's father was the bassist for False Walrus, and he was busy touring when she needed him most. Read Time: A Wayfarers Story in Kindle and paperback


She was affronted and a nerve was struck. The tuning fork of her anger hummed as she snapped a drag, inhaled deeply, and then argued “he wanted nothing to do with me until I got a letter from him just after he died! I wanted to be close to him, but he was always busy with False Walrus. He was a great dad when I was little, but once the band became his living his bass guitar was more important than me and mom, and that’s why she divorced him, you know?”

Her eyes were narrowed as she took another drag, and her inhale was like a wet pan being set on a hot stove burner. “He abandoned us” she fumed before her quick, forceful exhale sounded as though she was blowing out a match.

While a cloud of smoke hovered between them, she continued with “but I loved him and now I know that he loved me too and it’s too late! He’s home now and I’m stuck in this crap hole of a world trying to survive without him or mom while some evil nutjob who works for ALL is stalking me and blew my house up because he was trying to kill Zane Zachary. I’m all alone with no one to love, do you get it!? Yeah, I wanted a relationship with my father!”

  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, ...

  A long journey and a strange destination. As they walk, let us surveil Finn, Matt and Anna and eavesdrop on their conversation: “We’re gonna be there soon” Finn announced, as a low hum blocked out whatever Donny Bee was broadcasting. Having left the bat under the bridge, Anna popped the hat onto Finn’s head and then slipped her arms around Matt’s waist. She then nestled her head against his shoulder and pulled herself tight against him. It added a degree of difficulty to both of their walks, but they would overcome the small weight on their impetus. After drawing a dawdling, seemingly bottomless breath, and then releasing it through her nose, she said, “I want you to know something, Matt.” For three seconds, there was only the crunches of their footfalls and the caw of a real crow. Then, Matt replied, “oh?” “I want you to know that I love you more than I can possibly describe” she sighed. Continuing to speak, she explained, “if something happens to us today, I want you to know th...
