[Also contains "Ado the Owl - The Wisps Book II" by Allen W. McLean]

Hector Blake longed for the excitement of his old life.

He had awoken in a dark room, the walls of which being impervious to his intense pyrokinesis, to fend off an endless one-on-one assault of enemies. He was, a day prior, living in peaceful retirement back home on Titan, once being a renowned superhero across the Sol system.

Now, adversaries flood the room he had found himself in, and his tools and abilities are all that he can use to stave off exhaustion while fighting personifications of his slothful thoughts. Hector’s applied displays incinerated such hindrances while reinvigorating him--but can he keep the fire alive, let alone bright enough to face a stronger burning willpower?

...

This short story was published as part of "SM-SARA, Poetry and Other Stories", the second book in the HaikuPrajna collection.

Editing this book has given me a chance for a retrospective reflection of my writing. I knew then that I was experimenting with publishing for the first time--and I realize that I will be for the rest of my life, I am sure...

Since this is some of my earliest “professional” writing, I went into editing this expecting to cringe--and I got some, but I also left feeling impressed. I feel inspired after reading what my younger self was producing. I was studying a lot of interesting topics for the first time during this era and was obsessed with retaining the wisdom, by applying the insight.

Cover for Elephant in the Room

This Second Edition has been re-edited and re-formatted myself, and features an all-new cover by my wife April Salisbury-White. These tales of epic poetry and flash fiction now fit in perfectly with the rest of Project Trinity’s stories featuring the Overseer, Richard Abendsen and all the other telekinetic heroes from the far-future Sol and Zeus Systems.

HaikuPrajna’s poetry focuses on themes like stress, serenity, concentration and meditation, where Elephant in the Room at first details lessons gained while studying philosophies such as Buddhism, Hermeticism and Neoplatonism, before diverting into fictional adventures centered on these ideas.

The round of “./sumatranus” poetry, the section “On Dependent Origination” before it, and all the following fiction can be considered a prequel to the other stories seen in books like “Fishing for Caribou”, “The Wisps Book” and “FLUKE!”. These books have risen from the ashes of a lost project like a literal phoenix, where the cumulative effect was the Sumatranus story and continuing writing when all had been lost to the digital ether; I could have quit then, but here we are with all the stories that we have today.

Hello readers,

BATTLE Colosseum, the latest chapter in the "FLUKE!" series, has been released as a paperback novella! Get your copy through the below links:

Paperback https://www.amazon.ca/BATTLE-Colosseum-Allen-W-McLean/dp/B0C6BSSC1L

Preview https://read.amazon.ca/kp/embed?asin=B0C67X4TMT

Our protagonist controls Nina, a playable character in this fictional augmented virtual reality video game. While playing BATT-LE Colosseum, Nina prefers to operate solo--because she was using a modified game client to play outside of the MEGA Corporation's GamePlex--and she struggles with being reliant on other players, like Ian the Turtle. 

This metaphysical science fiction story took inspiration from a wide variety of pop culture, from video games (like Smash Bros, Halo, Team Fortress 2, Fortnite and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon) to books (including stories by Philip K. Dick and Douglas Adams) and back to anime (such as Neon Genesis Evangelion and Gurren Lagann). I even took the names of the characters from the pets in our family, and I stuck in some references to Electric Armchair’s music. 

BATTLE Colosseum resonates with those who struggle with relying on others, as Nina grapples with the choice of reducing what she is reliant on versus being comfortable in any situation, including being dependent on her teammate. During BATTLE Colosseum, Nina realizes that replanning was where the fun was found and, because she has faith in her abilities, that she could have faith in her team, too.

Also includes Tomothy and the Overseer of the Forest, a part of The Wisps Book, along with a preview of ULTRAVIOLET, another chapter in the FLUKE! series.

Thank you for reading,

Until next time!

Summond the Scarecrow is about the titular Giant consuming the patrons of the Sorauren Farm’s pumpkin parade, and was inspired by the 2022 Inktober prompt list along by a trip with April [who co-wrote this story!] to a number of parks across Toronto; April likened Summond the Scarecrow to E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web, and I have taken inspiration for the Overseer from superhero characters like Marvel’s Spider-man and Doctor Strange.

Intro to Summond the Scarecrow 

[Blurb]

“ Summond the Scarecrow had consumed the Overseer of the Forest.

The Seer had brought the Giant jack o’ lantern head to a post-Halloween pumpkin parade.

They were forced to watch in the form of timeless spectating Shadows, while the daemon rolled through the annual Halloween event and caused people to go missing every year. But, in part of their plan to free the patrons trapped in the pumpkin, the Seer had to tempt Summond into consuming more.

The Overseer issued the Terraform a dire warning; the Scarecrow would burn unless they released those who Summond had been consumed. “

Thank you for reading.

Hello readers,

The next Terraform title, The Wisps Book IV, is Summond the Scarecrow. 

Summond the Scarecrow will release as a digital ebook on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. 

In this story, the Overseer of the Forest plots the escape of those being consumed by a Giant jack o’ lantern from the Deeper Forest.

“ Summond the Scarecrow had consumed the Overseer of the Forest.

The Overseer issued the Terraform a dire warning; the Scarecrow would burn unless they released those who Summond had been consumed. "

I know this is a late Halloween story (April and I actually used the Inktober 2022 prompt list as inspiration for this story!), but I know its whimsical horror will capture and entertain any time of year and every October; Summond the Scarecrow will release February 28th 2023.

Thank you for reading.
