Lower Power

LOWER POWER, a short story collection from Matthew Atkinson, is a ten-step program to the wrong kind of spiritual awakening. For those who love violence, love that they love it, and hate that they love that they love it.Brutal honesty: in these stories bullets fly and knives come out in defiance of the saying that everything happens for a reason. Nowhere escapes the touch of slaughter: the imagination ("e;Laser Swords for the Bored"e;), paradise ("e;The Monk Seal"e;), transit ("e;On Rails,"e; "e;On Rails II"e;), celebration ("e;Smoke"e;, "e;Mr. Victorious"e;), or American cultural institutions ("e;Reviled,"e; "e;Chicken Emotions,"e; "e;Juvenile"e;).Once you finally admit you are addicted to carnage you will be ready to give up your wayward ways to a LOWER POWER.For clarity, this collection includes these stories:  1. "e;Reviled"e;  2. "e;On Rails"e;  3. "e;Smoke"e;  4. "e;The Monk Seal"e;  5. "e;On Rails II"e;  6. "e;Chicken Emotions  7. "e;Mr. Victorious"e;  8. "e;Run Hide Fail"e;  9. "e;Laser Swords for the Bored"e;  10. "e;Juvenile"e;
