About this ebook

What happens when the main character in a story realizes he's a work of fiction?

A 16-year-old aspiring writer sits down to write a story. But he's not a very good writer ... at all. So when his protagonist becomes self-aware, he decides to rewrite the story according to his rules. A Prisoner of His Own Mind is the absurd tale of what happens when a character fights back.

Selected as a Penn Review Magazine finalist.

Subjects: Humor / Comedy / Funny, Short Story / Short Stories, Meta / Meta-physical, Free / Freebie

Can picture the 16 yr old's confusion as he ineptly tries to deal with his 30-ish character. Gives a great view of Pier's outlook .. Want to read more.
