The Wasp: A Tortured Mind

by Brent Cole

Romance, rape, murder and mayhem, none of his ex’s had anything good to say about him when questioned and many had reported him on internet web sites intended for the reporting of cheating and dangerous men. In his position as a teacher and gymnastics coach he was not only hidden but also in a prime position to find new and exciting fodder. Brian was both dangerous and a cheater and it didn’t bother him. Although he had avoided criminal prosecution and a record on more than one occasion, he was every bit a criminal in many respects and poor Faith was simply another victim. A willing and susceptible victim that had no clue of the hell this temporal pleasure would visit upon her young life and that of others around her as well. Some psychoses are genetic and only require a trigger to make them into the nightmare for others they tend to become; Faith didn’t realize it yet, but she was late on her cycle by a week and at fourteen years old, things were about to turn upside down and her child, suffering a psychosis complicated by unrealized craniopagus, would make Freddy Kruger seem tame.

About the author

Born in South Carolina but raised in North West Oregon, I had the opportunity to grow up in a true hundred-acre wood. This gave rise to adventures and imaginings of my own making that allow me today, to imagine a world apart from the one in which we live. A world where people are right, good and moral and concerned not just for their own idea of humanity but for what all humans can attain. Reaching for a common goal that allows true freedom for everyone, not just the elite. For adventure that is unlimited and available to all.

That world exists today if only we would just reach out for it and take hold. My imaginings are from the heart and are the culmination of what I would hope others might do and say in these circumstances. I love the characters that I build and hope they affect you as they affect me. I want the reader to be immersed in the story that makes them want more and more and when the story ends, I want them to wish it could go on.

I spent a great deal of time at the Oregon Coast, Mount Hood and on the Columbia River thanks to my parents having the desire and means to provide such an upbringing. In my adult life I have traveled the entire United States, been to Mexico, Canada and South Africa.

I've had so many opportunities that many others can only dream; that is not to brag but to relish in what I've experienced. I use those experiences to try to bring to life my stories that you should enjoy them coming to life in your own mind.
