The Fashion Island Revelation

By Mel C. Thompson

Release Date: 2025-07-23
Genre: Poetry

Description

An, indigent, manic, delusional poet goes into debt to attempt to start a new life in Newport Beach. He magically presumes the very world around him will arrange for this; and so he posts himself at Fashion Island continuously, imagining he will magically meet with a future sugar mama of high pedigree who will propel him into a world of social and economic privilege. In between these musings, as is typical of religious people suffering from mania, he boldly proclaims divinely-revealed truths and imagines he is bringing the world to a new state of clarity. The publisher has his doubts as to the author's spiritual credentials, but he's published this tiny tract "just in case."
