    Author

    Edward Punales

    I’m a writer, poet, filmmaker, and lover of mythology, science fiction, art, and cheeseburgers.  I’ve published three short story collections, written and/or directed a handful of short films, regularly publish new work on my Medium page, and have spent way too much time on the internet watching old vine complications. I used to write under the pen name Edward Lange, but I switched to my real name in 2015. I live in South Florida.

      About the Author

      Ravi Patel, crusading political blogger, stay-at-home-son, and general do-gooder, strolled down the streets of Brickell City toward City Hall.

      With his notebook, digital tape recorder, and little black tie, he was ready to grill the City Council, make the Mayor answer for the corruption and negligence that his administration had wrought upon this decadent metropolis. Yes, Ravi was ready to make a difference.

      Plus, he’d probably get a really good blog post out of it; few dozen hits at least. And it’d be a much more productive way to spend his Monday night than watching pirated episodes of Spongebob.

      He turned the corner, onto Government Square, turned to face that cesspool of corruption and greed that was City Hall, and found a giant ditch.
