Chapter Eight from my novella, The Targeter, is being featured in Alien Buddha Zine #68, from Alien Buddha Press. It begins on page 34, with a copy of the cover of the novella:
Then it goes into Chapter 8 of my novella, the chapter being a reverie of the titular character, named Sid Arthur Gordimer, who is drunk and high on a combination of marijuana, ecstasy, and ketamine. His thoughts drift back and forth in his reverie of being a prince in a mansion watching half-naked strippers dancing to electronic music in a party, then of being in a royal palace with Indian music.
His parents, the king and queen, are pressuring him into taking on the responsibilities of the crown…but of course, this is all just the reverie of a drunk, stoned man. Outside of Sid’s apartment, in the real world that he’s trying to escape with booze and drugs, a war is going on. Bombs and gunfire can be heard outside.
He knows he’s no saint, and no prince. He’s a goner.
