The Orb

Faced with a mysterious object in the comfort of his own home, Joey must make a quick decision and respond to the object's sudden existence. Key moments from his marred life help guide him towards the encounter's inevitable outcome.

Great for a quick read on the bus or train at around 15 pages long. This short work was written several years ago, and recently dusted off and cleaned up for publication. While writing this story, I took inspiration from Franz Kafka's The Trial, and was attempting to emulate the feel of his works. The Trial is a brilliant book, surreal and sometimes confusing as if you're in one of Kafka's dream. I strongly recommend his book, even if you do not like my story!
