It’s the most dangerous mentality that can possess a black man’s mind. And, now, it’s the very thing that led to one’s death. But now it begs the question: Will anyone care?

“Inner peace can be reached only when we practice forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past, and is therefore the means for correcting our misperceptions.”
― Gerald G. Jampolsky, Love Is Letting Go of Fear
The duality of forgiveness.
The funny thing about this short story project is that I am able to explore various subgenres of science fiction while working through various topics and subjects. I always want to give mundane science fiction but didn’t know how to do it because everything I write about has always been dialed up to an eleven. It requires me to work through a more focused setting. That’s how An Overdue Dinner Party came about.
Six gentlemen are seated at a dinner party to discuss a topic that only two of them are willing to take part in. There are just some questions that shouldn’t be asked.

“Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs; the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones that would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what.”
The duality of family
The Family That Preys has a very personal connection to me. Actually, as I’m writing this “Behind-The-Pen” segment, I’ve come to realize that I have been venting about the mistreatment I’d endured by writing. Even worse, everything that you’ve read in that story is in direct correlation to how I was treated in my family. Well, I did dial it up to an eleven like I normally do but the base is still there. Here, let me show you.
The true role of a grandmother is explained and explored through the eyes of her favorite grandson who is finally comfortable enough to tell the woes of his past trauma.

Nature is a definite thing. But nurture is just as powerful. It can really mess with you.”

The duality of nature versus nurture
When you see the title and the synopsis of The Role We Play, it doesn’t take a genius to know what topic I was planning on exploring. This story was something I wanted to write for a long time because of my brother. Well, me, too, really, but mostly him. Let me explain.
There comes a time in one’s life when reflecting on all misdeeds become mandatory in order to find peace. For one inmate, today is that day.

Being human is given; but keeping our humanity is a choice.

The duality of the current state of humanity.
But Is It Home is a story that I wanted to serve as a reminder of the current state of humanity. Of course, I didn’t want to be too cliche about the topic. In the end, though, I wanted to focus on my hometown of Philadelphia as it’s one of the oldest municipalities in the United States. Hindsight being what it is, I did what I normally do and put a little bit of me in my short without me realizing it.
Philadelphia is about to get a few new residents in the near future. However, some details need to be ironed out before any decisions can be made.

Mars is ready to be populated and everybody is excited. Well…not everybody. Especially a particularly tight-knit Italian family.
