Many thanks
to Fang-tastic Books for letting me introduce you to my new novella “HE:A
Sexual Odyssey”. I’m Stephan Morsk, a
mental health professional who’s been writing daily for about fifteen years. “HE” explores the cravings of a thirty-ish
law student in Manhattan to break his routine detachment by finding Ms.
Right. His search brings him into
contact with a mellifluous menagerie of oddball women, a coterie of thugs, more
than one attempt on his life, sexual exploitation, etc. He’s cursed with a heinous karmic vortex that
plunges him into situations that are more than a little intolerable. He stumbles along with an indomitable black
humor and an overarching need to find the perfect soul mate.
Take his reunification with one such
candidate, Eve.
“I’ll be staying a while,” she said. He nodded excitedly at the news. Not that he had invited her. She’d brought her bosoms, and that was enough
to engage his endorsement. “I’m in a bit
of a mess,” she said, cutely as ever.
She kept tossing off phrases, warnings really, puntos de informacion by way of
explication. “I’m not who you think I
am,” she said. Then finally, “I carry a
gun.”
Ignoring all this data momentarily,
he asked, “Can I get you anything?” p. 37.
His desperate ‘lustoration’ for
these angels blinds him to their glaring flaws.
Eve vanishes a day later. His
adoration of her, however, persists.
These flawed characters make up the bulk of my writing, while they
attempt in various delineations of crippled reserve to connect with an
irascible universe. The power of women
is another theme in my work. Here’s an
excerpt in which our protagonist is contemplating the elusively sensuous and
irate Misha...
“She’d succeeded in tempting, luring him, and,
be it said, dominating his soulless desire.
She was terminally cute, emasculatingly sensuous. Misha had wormed her way into his mind’s core
with two pubic detonations. Yet there
was no modus operandi with which to gratify himself of her. Her mouth, twisted cutely in remonstrance of
her charge, Sisco, was enough to engage his senses. Her breasts, punching their way through her
top, were addictive. He longed to cradle
them in a death-squeeze-inducing syncope.
He was infused with her cute-essence, no longer furtive in its
agenda. She’d cooked his cajones in a
no-stick fryer and watched them simmer in an aromatic Spanish mole, made him
her bitch in two easy pieces.” p. 9.
My protagonist is a lover of women,
far from misogynistic, he’s bound and tethered to their essence, a pussy
whipped pushover although that certainly doesn’t stop him from having sex with
them. “HE” pushes ahead, despite all
odds, in his quest for salvation.
“She stated her name was Eve, then retracted
that. She was a mysterious,
bullet-breasted chanteuse. She was
diaphoretic and passed out. Pure
beneficence, he expected no payoff from this femme ruse. Yet, if true, if she really was the one woman
with whom he could on some level connect, his generosity would be gratified by
her presumptive consanguinity. Yet all
he saw was a mass of malaise under a sheet.” p. 38.
“HE” attempts connection, more often
than not finding sex, sadism, exploitation or overt homicide.
Collapsing more than sitting onto the back
seat, he said, “Mount...”
“What?” the man asked. “Can’t hear ya’, brother.”
“Mount,” he said again, the words
sticking on his lips. He was getting
daffier by the moment.
“Mount... what?” the cabby
said.
“Cy... an... ide...”
“Mount Cyanide?”
Shaking his head no, he said,
“Sigh... nigh...”
“Oh, Mount Sinai hospital?” the guy
asked. He nodded. “You all right, brother?” He shook is head no.
“Mer... gen... see...”
“You ain’t gonna die on me in my cab
are you?” He shook his head no. “Okay, then I’m movin’. Otherwise I call you a ambulance man. Got no dyin’ in my cab, brother. Uh, uh.”
p. 65.
Even after near death experiences,
soul haunting humiliations, penile exploitations and more he’s still invested
in his quixotic quest for ‘the one’. His
absurd faith unbroken, he persists in this folly. One evening in law class he spots a woman
whose breasts match those of the ill-fated Eve.
Although he knows it’s impossible, he follows her in desperation.
She was a few feet away; her small, compact
body about the height he remembered. He
got up the nerve and called out, “Eve?”
The woman froze then slowly turned around.
“Why did you call me that?” she
asked. Same voice, same cuteness,
delivered in disguise.
“That’s your name then isn’t it?”
She shook her head no and kept
walking.
“Adrienne?” he asked.
She froze again.
“That’s your name isn’t it?” he
asked.
She just kept walking. He watched her disappear into the engulfing
crowd for the last time. p. 71.
Blind adoration of the female
entity. Blitzkriegs of gonzo karma, and
tactile exploitations cannot demur my hero from his quest. He knows she is out there. It is just a matter of finding her.
Thanks again for the opportunity to
uncover a small shred of “HE: A Sexual Odyssey.” I’ve won some awards, published short stories
and maintain my own website morsklitmonthly.com. I hope you’ll give this quick read a
try. It’s on Amazon and e formats Nook
and Kindle.
All feedback is welcome.
