Gladiolus tormentus Read online

  I found myself laughing. Maybe it was the infernal heat pushing my sanity just out of reach, or perhaps it was the only logical conclusion to the absurd, albeit it costly, circumstances of the past few hours. Tomorrow I would have to pick up the pieces, start clearing the wreckage from what had once been the centerpiece of my daily life. But for now, as the crowd, confused and somewhat lost, began to wander off in silence, I could only laugh.

  About the Author

  Brent Seth was born in Bloomington, Illinois during an ice storm which, with the benefit of hindsight, seems to have been something a peak. As a self-destructive, cynical nihilist, Mr. Seth has always displayed a peculiar affection for comedy, especially when used as a club to beat-up that which was never actually alive.

  His first novel Short Fuse is currently available at Amazon and Barns and Noble.

  When he isn't busy tapping the keyboard, Brent spends his time dusting the cello in his office, indulging in extreme (and sometimes vindictive) gardening, massing even more LEGO bricks to an already insanely large collection, and wishing he knew how to play the cello.

  Mr. Seth now lives in Michigan with his husband and several spoiled cats.
