  • Pilot (times of [war] matter)

    “War is an awful thing. I spent my life getting people from A to B, then I was drafted so that I could bring people from terrorized to free; but I’m not sure I even know what that means. The hardest part is that I want peace again. No matter what I do here in…

  • The Ghost of Gorman

  • Is American independence a thing of the past?

    When any holiday comes around, I try to reflect on the reason we celebrate that holiday. On July 2nd, 1776, representatives from the 13 colonies voted to declare their independence and two days later, on July 4th, the Declaration of Independence was signed. It is on this day that the 13 colonies formally cut their…

  • Soul Theory (My idea for a Zombie Thriller)

    © Andrew Cannon. All Rights Reserved 2015 “We are going to lose her!” one doctor exclaimed as he waited for the defibrillator to charge. “1, 2, 3” he zapped the woman on the operating table, but the readings on the computer did not change. Once more he counted and zapped the woman, but she lay…

  • The Pilgrim’s Relevancy: Book VI (homosexuality)

    In the town that was now behind them, Christian remembered encountering certain infatuations, specifically in the entertainment.
