Excuse Me, My Brains Have Stepped Out
by Pandora Poikilos
Anya Michaels is having the time of her life. She has the man of her dreams by her side. She has graduated at the top of her class. She has the job others were lining up for. Between late night drinks at her favourite bar and fancy dinners at the most expensive restaurants, she has a string of adoring friends. Everything changes when she hears the dreaded words, “You are sick.”
Being diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder, her world starts to fall apart, one piece at a time. Now dumped, her four year relationship is nothing but a memory filled with pictures, thoughts and a very broken heart. Her job becomes an even further challenge as she tries to hide her condition. Her friends suddenly have more important things to do, what is a party without a party girl? Perfect could not crumble any faster.
Soon, caught between situations, people and pieces of life that she never dreamed of planning for herself, Anya begins to wonder if her brain condition is all that bad. As she absorbs the changes in her life and realization sets in, she begins to wonder if she is the only one saying: Excuse Me, My Brains Have Stepped Out.

The Government: Dark Days
by Joseph Storm
In this futuristic tale of American fate, the presidential election of 2020 will change the country forever. Congressman Joe Striker has been abducted, his family murdered, and every U.S. lawmaker executed. Believed dead, Striker is tossed into a mass grave with his colleagues, but his assassins have made a critical error. Joe is not dead, crawling from the depths of earth to avenge his family’s honor. Upon arrival of his ransacked home, Striker discovers that a vital piece of unread, undiscovered mail holds the answers to the senseless, horrific crimes. An administration mole has secretly sent him information, which implicates the people and plans of a newly elected “Government Party.” This unknown ideology fools the American public with a smile, while ruling violently with a fist of iron.
Discovering that this threat still lives, the hunt begins to destroy the roadblock to domination. As the country falls around him, Joe must flee the enemies of freedom, along with his own demons. However, before he can accomplish his goals, Joe Striker must eventually face them both. The fate of America rests in Striker’s hands, and the fate of the world will soon follow.
