POCKET BOOK. GNOMON The shadow of the gnomon slides at a steady rate. Even if the dial is ancient, the time itself is up to date. Though the train sleeps in the station, the sun just will not wait. And the ever-moving sun and the clocks that tick and chime are the chains we use to bind our minds and imprison them in Time. Time has no bird, no scythe, no power over man or Fate. Having wanted to be early, we decide that we are late. (122 pages)

"Between fear & love is hope." __________________________________ Cole is a powerful young psychic, unknowingly involved in a conspiracy to end a mental war with a mysterious consciousness, taking place within a drug-induced dream. Last Human Being is a science fiction mystery, written and presented as a novella for a film. Praise for Last Human Being: English Professor and Author of Forge, Kevin Macpherson Eckhoff has said, "Fast and shadowy, Last Human Being pits instinct against philosophy. This book, part somnambulist allegory, part speculative psychosomatic thriller, renders shifting dream-scapes in which impassioned characters confront not only one another's fears, but also the haunting vacuity of their own interiors. Fans of MTV's original Aeon Flux series or George Lucas's THX 1138 will easily be consumed by the ink-whether electric or chemical-within Brian Taylor's first novella."
