Notes from the Idle Mind: Short Stories

Previously published under the pen name Israfel Sivad.

An idle mind is the devil's workshop...

With these four stories, Michael Anthony Adams, Jr. laid the intellectual and artistic foundation for all he has done. Functioning off the theory that art should "explode" reality, Michael set out to capture a surreal interpretation of the world he experienced.

From the tale of a young man spending his night staring into a mirror to discover hidden truths about himself to a mythical rendering of the insights awaiting all of us when we wander away from the safety of our homes, Michael tells revealing narratives with precision. Although these stories begin in the real world, they quickly leave it for an imagination that has the ability to see the reality lurking behind reality.
