Toxicandyville: A Long-winded Short Story

It was a simpler but no less complicated time--before social media, mass chaos, Mask World and the so-called Plandemic (as young Jack Freeman silently refers to it)--but the Beast System was still hard at work, capturing souls and planning for our inevitable dystopian future.. Equal parts romance, horror story and scathing social commentary, Toxicandyville is set in picturesque small-town America, where our humble narrator, an aspiring word magician and genius wannabe, is just trying to get by and find a little enlightenment on the wrong side of the tracks.
