"Hope", one must have it, for, without hope, what else is there? "Cockroachalisms, Life Lessons Learned On My Journey Through Life". Allow the guru of wellness, that is Xavier Cockroachal Damon, to lead you down the path of happiness with life lessons only he could teach. "Motel Hell", the place where lost souls dwell. "Climb from Hell", Supustrus is trying to rescue himself and his wife by escaping hell. Will they make it? "Gus Versus the Evil Gods", an offshoot of Cockroachalisms, where the dominant personality of an intentionally splintered mind is set to do battle against, what is now, 82 Evil Gods. Who is going to be triumphant? Oh, it is so on! There is then a collection of essays featuring the "Political Theatre of the Absurd 2016" series of essays about the idiot parade, charade that was the 2016 race for the White House. Oh, and in the short story "Hope", there is a possibility I go totally off on an American literary icon who is a doctor, of sorts, and whose last name rhymes with moose. There is that possibility.
