Triggermortis

by Peter J. Miele

With the culmination of a long-term project in Iraq, Colonel S is ready to meet and shake hands with his other self. The other half however, does not make him an entire person. His emotional skills have failed him. He knows now that something is very wrong. Watch this relationship with himself unfold as cigarette men from the invisible cosmos of his mind come off their packages and engage with him, plead with him for reason in all aspects of his life and eventually guide his thought processes.

From his career as a hardheaded colonel in the CIA, where just about everyone under his command dies in Iraq, to his incomprehensible personal life, where he builds zombies in the basement of his rented house in California in order to insure a lasting US Army and success in his career, things rarely work out for him. What's going on? Well, he intends to pump out zombie soldiers into the world where they accomplish their purpose, which is to engage the enemy in a very real way. This process is a riveting chronicle and the essence of S's greatest desires, his opus magum; the rescue of the US Army and the salvation of the American dream, which we will explore in detail in TRIGGERMORTIS, with tension-filled biases and performances, generally speaking.
