Synopsis/Details
The world of Bomb squad guru and toke-master Chase Malachi has always been a bit surreal. But nothing can prepare him for the outlandish journey that begins with a phone call at work ,researching an improvised microwave bomb, and getting stoned when, his partner DEVON calls him about a mysterious device on a running timer found in an office building. He gets there to find a massive conglomeration of circuitry harvested from the electronic devices in the building, everything about it defies description. Nothing he does stop the timer, yet there are no explosives present, none can be found in the building. When the "bomb" goes off it's not with explosive force, but with a decaying and disintegrating of the entire world, indeed the universe, Chase and Devon included. Then the story appears to reboot, in what turns out to be a slightly different parallel reality, as Chase again encounters the device, this time with a growing sense of deja-vu about the thing, which is now larger, and more evolved in its electronic chaos. Chase tries different methods this time, yet still the timer counts down to zero, and we see a more bigger, more cosmic look at the disintegration of the universeAs As Chase is "reincarnated" repeatedly, each time, his memories of other time-lines where he tried to disarm the "bomb" become more solid, a girl named Faith, an alien in human form sent to help him understand the bomb, and an interdimensional parasite known as the Metaphage, who thrive on on the very law of entropy that the bomb uses to destroy us, will invade the planet, spreading rapidly through multitudes of human bodies in which they can only survive for a short period of time To hunt down Chase, Devon and Faith. Every time they encounter the device it's a bigger, more advanced, and more bizzare. As it grows it causes a phenomenon called graviton psychosis, anyone near the bomb exhibits disturbing suicidal and homicidal behavior, and ironically enough the psychosis is linked to cannabinoid receptors, Chase and Devon are only able to interact with the device unaffected because the THC is acting as an antidote. But It's temporary. graviton psychosis gets worse every time, the Metaphage come at him faster every time. If he doesn't figure this bomb out soon, he never will.

I am a screenwriting aspirant with many years writing and reading scripts, watching and studying films, and many completed feature length scripts. (14 so far). I was About two years into a communication arts degree when the ADHD devil on my shoulder told me there were more exciting things to do than sit in a classroom. I spent years thereafter writing prose, poetry, short stories, and a couple of novels. I had some prose published in small poetry journals. I was co-founder and contributor of a counter-cultural "zine" called Horribly Awry. which had a few thousand readers for awhile, and I piqued an agent's interest for one of my novels, but alas she couldn't find a market for it.
