New Years Day

By M. Matheson

Brian Rogers lives a too typical well-ordered life. Nothing ever changes, there are no risks, but on this New Years Eve, he is finally ready for a change. But, he is alone, and there he sits waiting for change, which surprisingly arrives, and she drives a Ferrari. The most beautiful and well known young starlet in America serendipitously finds her way into his life and takes them both on an incredible and life-changing journey.

"I find that good fiction brims with more reality than many other things claiming to be the truth. A good story will strip bare our heart, reveal the things that only God can see and move our soul." -M. Matheson It is my sincere wish (leaving me only two) that you, the reader of these stories, will be moved in some way, be it small or large, and at the very least simply enjoy having read a good tale. ~~~~ Scroll down to my books and stories if you wish to skip the short long story of my existence ~~~~ M.(Mike) Matheson was born on an Army base in the middle of nowhere, Arizona. Dad was career military, and Mom stayed at home, the norm for the '50s. Mike's ultimate hero, his father, died suddenly and without warning. Without his stabilizing strength, the family became a severed sparking wire searching for ground. The ensuing dysfunction and chaos proved, in later years, to make for great storytelling. Mike has been blessed to take a wide bite out of life. From motorcycle outlaw to the pastor of a church and missionary evangelist. He has traveled a lot, seen a lot, and done many things; some he wished he'd never done, and others he can't wait to do again. Yet, each and every scrap of life has made a fantastic fabric from which to weave many grand tales. Mike has written dozens of short stories. Flatline is Mike's second novel No More Mister Nice Guy was his first.

All is quiet on New Year's Day

A world in white gets underway

Brian Rogers was a typical professional in his late twenties, and typical was his problem. He was so sickeningly predictable that his coworkers, neighbors, and ex-girlfriends all set their watches by his every move. Once again, that point came driving home in a hailstorm, yet it had not caught him as a complete surprise. Still, it felt just as rough as a wooden stake driven straight through his heart.

Predictable was blamed on his profession, and blaming others kept his mind in order. He was a senior accountant for a firm that had once occupied ten floors of Two World Trade Center, but that was before he was old enough to shave. Their ranks had been decimated by 9-11. Now they were scattered amongst boring little towns in the Midwest and one large office in
