Violations of the Mind & Soul

The countdown till blast off has begun, with VIOLATIONS OF THE MIND & SOUL by Ian T. Mello acting as your ticket to literary heights you’ve never dreamed. Strap yourself firmly in for three flash fiction tales that will fulfill your need from crime, fantasy, and suspense. Mello has chosen three treasures from his ever-growing loot of literary thrill-rides.

In the opening tale, “Art Heist,” a lonely groundskeeper adds some spice to his life by meticulously orchestrating a plan to rob multiple masterpieces. Hiring a professional to guide him with the planning, and a hired goon to handle the dirty work, it seemed like the most unlikely of criminals has this caper in the bag.

Next, “The Tree,” awakens your psychological senses, expanding your mind to mystifying places that will leave you breathless. Two brothers argue about whether a common holiday decoration possesses ancient powers. The ridiculous argument incites a physical confrontation, leading to the truth coming forward concerning an electrifying decoration of secrets.

Finally, a dangerous warning is delivered to an unsuspecting deli owner, his dishwasher, and an innocent bystander. “Criminals” is a story of revenge, as a local hero rubs two business associates the wrong way and if they’ve come back for his soul. Two thugs with ties to the mob bully three men, each connected to the arrogant cause of the entire mess. But will the target of the crime live long enough for his hit from the mob?

You won’t be left with any heartwarming feelings after this literary mission. However, you’ll be solidified as a literary warrior ready to take on all foes. Again, strictly literary.
