Fiction
is storytelling of imagined events and stands in contrast to
non-fiction, which makes factual claims about reality. A large
part of the appeal of fiction is its ability to evoke the entire
spectrum of human emotions: to distract our minds, to give us hope
in times of despair, to make us laugh, or to let us experience
empathy without attachment. Fictional works—novels, pictures,
stories, fairy tales, fables, films, comics, interactive
fiction—may be partly based on factual occurrences but always
contain some imaginary content. The term is also often used
synonymously with fictional prose. In this sense, fiction refers
only to novels or short stories and is often divided into two
categories, popular fiction (e.g., science fiction or mystery
fiction) and literary fiction (e.g., Victor Hugo or William
Faulkner). Wikipedia, the free

TASERED
by
Karen
Lewis
The controversial Taser gun, claims another
victim in this fast paced thriller with an erotic edge. Deron
and Curtis, the police officers who fired the fatal shot, are
catapulted into a nightmarish media blitz that screams for their
blood. The last thing they expected, when they answered the call
of a man acting bizarrely, was that it would destroy their
lives. Communication is impossible, as he speaks only Spanish.
They attempt to arrest him, and he pulls a knife. They Taser him
and he dies on the floor at their feet.
A bystander has recorded the incident on video.
He sells it to the media. Capturing the action from one angle
only, it does not show the man reaching into his pocket for the
knife. It is assumed, therefore, that the police acted brutally
and without provocation. Public condemnation is fierce and
international. Deron and Curtis are branded murderers. They are
threatened and attacked.
The man who died is Manuel Vega, a Mexican
tourist. He lived in Pinada; a small village near the US border.
His mother has been prominent in the media, grieving for her
son. She says he never showed any signs of violence before, and
the autopsy found no drugs or alcohol in his system. Suspecting
that nothing is ever as it seems, Deron travels to Pinada, to
try and uncover the truth behind Manuel’s deranged behaviour.
What he finds there provides the shocking conclusion to this
tense and unusual story.
The idea for TASERED came from a real incident.
However, the characters and situations are entirely fictional.

THE SON
by W.
Richard St. James
What would you do if you
discovered you were the Chosen One? Who would believe you?
Would you believe it yourself?
What would happen if you could heal anyone – but not
everyone?
What would you do if God’s message wasn’t what you expected?
And maybe, just maybe, you are not the Son of God after all.
Maybe it’s all just a terrible mistake, a set of
coincidences, a conspiracy. Who can you trust? What can you
believe? Is the woman who says she loves you your betrayer?
Or your only hope?
Have you come to save the world – from us? And does the
world want any part of you?
Join Izzy and Maria for a journey into belief, and beyond,
that is sexy, sombre, comical, and scary.

THE EVER UNTITLED: Norah's Story
by
Arunjana Das
......is a story of
a young East Indian woman, the daughter of a doctor who migrated
to Ethiopia to help the poor there. As a young child,
she's bright, precocious and a bit of a dreamer, until at the age of
eight she experiences the ritual horror of female genital
mutilation.. At the age of 13 she is married to a husband
who betrays her in the worst possible way. While in
advanced stages of her pregnancy her husband sells her for
alcohol to a gang of four men who rape her, causing her to
lose one of the twins she is carrying. While her
experiences would break a weaker person, through it all she
eventually emerges with a sense of serenity derived from
running away and raising her surviving baby daughter in
South Africa....
Years later with her daughter, a
bright and gregarious teenager in whom Norah sees herself as
she once was, the two return to Ethiopia to try and educate
the women about the horror the mother experienced.
However, her precious daughter is kidnapped and subjected to
the same horror which she doesn't survive. The mother,
more determined than ever to make sure the story of the
plight of thousands of women like herself is told, returns to South
Africa to continue with her life's mission to fight
against this atrocity...
Written in the first person, Ms.
Das has captured Norah's raw, heart wrenching emotions with
an incisive clarity that will make one weep for her and
rejoice at her strength to overcome the horrors she
experienced in her young life......
