Rooster Dreams
( no acid required )
"Another dream smashes into my body, sending splinters of reality into the vacancy within my soul..."
Book Description
Take Timothy Leary, Vonneguet and Kafka, you have Rooster Dreams, a story of a young man on a mind bending journey to clear his name while finding his way out of the novel into something more sane.
Searching for his fiancee Maria Kelly in 2034, Portland Oregon, our hero finds himself a victim of the media when Maria's brother prints a story accusing him of being a notorious serial killer.
In this 'no acid required' trip our hero is assisted by many colorful characters:a sado masochistic hunchback, a shaman and a womanizing rooster out to avenge himself against our narrator for an unrelated crime.
Inside this Book
<< When I woke, it was to the blasting cries of police sirens, gunfire, faceless people and the incessant screaming of the telephone. Half asleep, I snatched the cracked phone from its cradle.
" Hello? "
" Honey ", my mother said. " How are you getting along? "
" Mom ", I groaned glancing up at the digital alarm clock, the last number impossible to read thanks to the last tenant whom had repeatedly stabbed the chromium clock in an attempt to stall the countdown til the apocalypse. " It's three in the morning. "
" Have a job yet? "
" Yeah. Waiting tables at the Holiday Inn. "
" A waiter! Honey, certainly you can do better then that." A long pause. " Have you found her? "
" Mom! I've only been here a few days. "
" Why don't you stop this foolish search for Maria and come home. Your father and I will be in New York for three weeks. Your sister, Niles and Angela are in Arizona for winter break. I'm telling you that you'll have a whole house to yourself. Come home."
" Not till I know. "
" Marilyn says Vincent doesn't even know where Maria is. "
" I'll find her. "
" You're living in a fantasy world. You'll never find her. Darling, Darcy gave me the number of her psychiatrist. Since the death of her husband, I'm telling you that this man has helped talk Darcy out of her grief, has her take this wonderful new antidepressant... Chasteline or something. "
" Mom, you remember Doctor Good. "
" Now don't you bringing him back up. That was a freak accident. Now I'm telling you -- "
" Mom. "
" -- You're going to just get yourself hurt. You're up there without much money and don't have a clue where to start looking for this impossible fantasy. Far as you know Maria could be -- "
" Mom don't say it. "
" -- dead "
" Mom would you SHUT UP one second. "
There was silence.
" Just for a second. "
" I'm listening. "
" It's all I ask. One second. "
I could hear my father shouting for her to get off the phone. They were going to miss their flight.
" Listen honey, " my mom said changing the subject. " Your father and I have a plane to catch. You know how long it takes to get through security. We'll be getting into New York around ... What time was that Chris? Listen honey, I've got to go. Love you. "
And she hung up. >>
