Essays & More Straight From The Pen

By Wayne T. Dowdy

Peek inside the wild life of a man who fought to change."My salvation came in the form of a concept: fighting poison with poison; the same as using Cobra or Rattlesnake venom to save someone bitten by one of the vipers. I was the viper bitten by itself. ... When living, I used to lose interest in life and then go on sprees capable of causing death. When faced with death I fought to live: a paradox of my existence." THE SEARCH FOR ENLIGHTENMENT."Maybe I was born mean, violent, screaming and striking all near when I came from my Mother's womb. And, yes, I was a disturbed child, disturbed by loud noise, inside and outside my home: my mind a whirlwind of fears; fear I would die as a child; fear my family would abandon me for being so mean; fear a jet or plane would fall upon our house and kill us all, fear I would be left alone with planes racking my brain." AN AIRPORT ATE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.Essays & More Straight from the Pen contains twelve essays, three poems, and one short story about Taser, a typical, arrogant male who learns humility in an unusual manner. Adventure into something unique.
