Everyday Divinities

by R.B. LeMoyne

What really happens when you push the "power" button on an appliance? Where do the items you use every day really come from? What do your possessions think of you when you're not using them?EVERYDAY DIVINITIES answers these questions in five short stories that explore the hidden lives of the objects that surround you every day. In THE ALARM CLOCK, you'll find out what he really thinks of his lot in life. THE TELEVISION AND THE REMOTE CONTROL show what happens when you want to turn on your TV. Your coffee maker is up for review in THE COFFEE MACHINES, and learn about the conversations your computer has when it's not in use in THE DESKTOP AND LAPTOP COMPUTERS. Finally, you'll get to see how well your mobile device takes its daily wear and tear in THE CELL PHONES.Separately, these five stories shine a small light on several corners of a world where inanimate objects are given life by strange but familiar entities. Together, they build a greater picture of a world that has been hidden from mortal eyes... until now.

When he's not observing and documenting the secret lives of inanimate objects, or blogging about his writing, R. B. LeMoyne can often be found reveling in the geekiness inherent in playing video games or roleplaying games, or settling once and for all why Batman would beat Boba Fett in a no-holds-barred battle royale.
