    About this ebook

    John finally has a seat at the table, but will he be able to stomach what actually passes for news nowadays? "CNN" takes a quick peek behind the scenes to reveal the jarring reality of a biased media. What would happen if Scientology ruled the world? This exact question is answered in "Scientology", as a familiar face aims to bring down the whole system. Lastly, follow Tom as he vacations with his wife, Carol. What is supposed to be a relaxing vacation is filled with navigating the quips and traps laid down by his quick-witted wife. "Marriage" reminds everyone that all the problems in the world aren't as great as the ones in your relationship.

    Victor Sanchez

    Victor Sanchez is currently pursuing his Bachelor’s Degree at Full Sail University, in hopes of fulfilling his lifelong dream of being in his grandmother’s will. With the eminent dismantling of Obamacare, he hopes to parlay this degree into a job that offers health insurance. His dry, sarcastic brand of humor was molded by the cynicism that plagued his early 20’s. This cynicism was developed from his 10 years in the restaurant industry, which slowly eroded his tolerance for people. Now, on the cusp of his 30’s, he hopes to use his humor to pleasantly distract people from the eminent destruction he knows is coming. He can be reached at v.michael.sanchez@gmail.com.

      Scientology

      Darkness permeates the room except for the faint light emanating from my cell phone in the corner. Silence also stakes its claim save my long, slow breaths. Neither of them are good company, but I trust them, at least. My cell phone lights up, and Beck’s Loser creeps through the speakers. I pick it up and wait for Beck to finish his pleas for euthanasia before I answer.
