Ok peeps! I bid you good night! I'm off to ready myself for a night of drinking, debauchery, and skirt chasing.

About to query agents for a book I'm writing. Initial thoughts on this synopsis? Make you want to read? Make you want to smack your momma? Let me know

Widower and bum-father Neil Hairston cares about little these days. Jobs come and go, insomnia loosens his grip on reality, and he can't escape the feeling that his dead wife left him with an illegitimate son, Thomas. When a stalled DC metro train traps him and his son with thirteen other impatient passengers one hundred feet underground, Neil hardly seems to notice.

Only this train's stop isn't routine. The other cars are crushed like cans. A drug-dealer bursts into flames. A high-schooler turns into a pillar of salt. When the remaining survivors realize they are being killed by an unseen demon to pay for their sins, they band together to appease this ancient spirit. And Neil's personal struggle with faith, fatherhood, and redemption leads to the revelation that nine-year-old Thomas may hold the key to saving all their souls.

METRO84 is my latest psychological thriller novel with supernatural elements, complete at 84,000 words. My short fiction has been published in a couple literary magazines, including The Colored Lens. I've worked as a professional copywriter and editor for over a year. Thank you for your consideration.

It reminds me a bit of the 2010 film Devil. But I like the transmogrification death and, from what I can tell, in-depth character development. The foreshadowing of a dénouement involving the son is a great way to reel in the agent-reader. 👍 Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

Apologies 😳

I think it depends on how you write the story. The demon element is somewhat overused IMO, but it could come off well if the story is good. Of course, I'm by no means an expert on writing.

Good luck!

Lol. Seriously, where do you guys learn this? (I grew up without a dad, so don't judge.) lol

No dad AND I'm a girl. I learned everything I know from friends who were college athletes, instagram (fitness is really trendy right now), and bodybuilding websites.

1. Clandestinely eat 5 eggs with copious tabasco sauce for breakfast.
2. Wait one hour.
3. Allow incessant, sulfurous flatulence to take its course unabated.
4. Curse your "condition" while taking great care to convey its daily frequency and lack of treatment.
5. Watch said girl exit with haste.

Fortunately, I'm not a one-stand kind of person. But it is indeed a secret weapon I've never had to unleash. And we shan't discuss how I discovered this secret weapon. :laugh:

So jealous!
 
I saw World War Z last night. I know movie adaptations of books are always disappointing, but they left out the whole zombie war part. It's hard to even give the movie the same title as the book. They just turned it into a remake of Contagion with zombies. But it was still fun to watch.
 
The paperwork for medical school never ends....leases, loans stuff, blood drawn, etc etc etc Its like a full time job getting ready for medical school.

Haha luckily for me I worked at a medical school after graduating, so I have all of the HIPAA and blood work stuff done, minus an annual tb skin test. Juan Solo... don't you have all of that also since youre going from UC to UC as well?
