Stone Flag

Cutbacks in federal funding force a dingy urban mental institution to shutter its doors. Bewildered patients are given a bag lunch and shown the door. A nameless man wanders the streets of this strange new world homeless and scared. For the first time in twenty years his meds are wearing off. This whirling city begins to offer hint, long-lost recollection he was once a part of things. Burdened by the most basic questions -- Who am I? What am I? Where is this? -- he seeks to reclaim a blanked-out past. That is not allowed. An impossible foe purses him; any given memory can lure in a long trail of bubbles, each with a face inside wanting only to pop anywhere on him. Then our story explodes.

About the Author

Author, novelist, screenwriter, poet, fiction (and other keywords) David Barlow grew up in the cushy suburban digs of Ridgewood, New Jersey. Graduating up there in his class at Emerson College with a BFA in creative writing he pilgrimaged to Los Angeles for the script business. Skittering through several big Hollywood near-misses David plied a trade in writing copy, PR, and professional collateral. All while honing that edge for prose, verse, etc. Some time now those efforts have been enjoyed from the wilds of New Hampshire.
