Agent Person
Some street number
Some town, Some Country
Agent Person,
I know that I’m
not meant to be alive. It runs in my family. It’s nothing you can convince me
otherwise because it is my truth. No amount of talk or therapy or prescriptions
are going to change that.
You
got a truth? I know you do. Every family does. But, the difference between you
and me is not everyone knows your family secrets. Everyone knows mine, and if
they forget, they can check the papers.
You got it on your mind now. I
can see it in your eyes. My family isn't any more messed up than yours… than
anyone’s. It’s all about phases, energy, and those goddamned generation curses.
But, hey, look at the bright side; maybe your curse can be broken. I can
respect that. But, not mine. Mine’s stone. It’s not going to change.
Please consider my novel, Water and
Stone. Complete at 92,000 words, one reader has referred to my manuscript as
Kafka-esque. This novel will find readership among those who enjoy sci-fi works
like those of Margaret Atwood and the psychological horror of Stephen King.
The first
chapter of Water and Stone was chosen for awards for the Agnes Hyde writing
contest, and it was published in the Spring 2014 edition of the literary
journal, Prairie Winds. I have a double major in Creative Writing and
Web/Graphic Design. My second novel is entitled, Tickets to See the Sun.
I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your
valuable time and consideration.
Kind Regards,
Amber R. Hiles
