LAZARUS LIVES! [opening sequence from a proposed novel]

Although it's a bit far down on my current to-do list, I have a novel-in-progress called Lazarus Lives. I shared the eventual book's opening sequence with my paid patrons in December. This is its first public appearance. 

Though people who've known me for a very long time may recognize some bits 'n' pieces inspired by my own experiences, this is very much a work of fiction. The art teacher Mr. D is the only real-life person depicted. Here's to you, Mr. D: You made a positive difference in my life. We'll follow this one up very soon with a glimpse at what our then-young creators were attempting in the 1970s.

For now: Lazarus Lives.
