Gone: A #Novel by @SamProof
I am so amazed at everything that has transpired in the last week. Very literally, mountains have been moved. I can only attribute that to the fact that I have been INCREDIBLY deliberate with my words, intent, and energy. I have noticed that @SamProof has become more like my partner in passion and life than just in the #FiestaMovement. We're pushing each other so much in making the Fiesta more than just a car, more than just press, more than just publicity - the Fiesta gave us both this fearless passion to pursue our dreams.
You all KNOW my dream, hence why you are here ...
Take a glimpse into Sam's. This is the first page of his novel Gone.
Gone is the first novel by Sam Proof. Much like it's author Aaron Farr, the main character of Gone spend too much time online. He puts his whole life online, and one night wakes up to discover he himself has gone viral. The world is coming for him.
Chapter One:
Too Far Down
0/0
“When all else fails, we wait” Devlyn had told him “We wait for fate to change our lives, instead of the other way around.” Aaron knew it was true.
“God helps those that help themselves.” He answered half heatedly into cold desert night.
“Fate helps those that create their own fate.”
“Aren’t you too cynical to believe in fate Dev?”
“And therein lies the irony of it all.”
“Well then, here’s to irony.” Aaron raised his can of cheap beer.
“Here’s to there.” Devlyn answered the toast and they drank.
Aaron Farr in fact waited for a living at Washoe County’s own Washoe County Pizza Factory, and he hated it. He hated it even more after Devlyn’s symbolic analyzes of jobs in general.
“People who want to be psychologists, want to hear they’re less crazy than somebody else. That other people have bigger problems then they do. People who want to be pre-school teachers want to stay children. Or they want to boss around little people.”
“And what about waiters?” Asked Aaron.
“I suppose they want to do just that, wait. They wait until somebody tells them what the hell they should be doing. My guess is they didn’t have a very good father figure.”
Aaron’s biggest problem was he didn’t want anything. He didn’t seek fame or fortune or creative self-fulfillment. He was wholly goal-less, an empty vessel hoping one day fate would show him the path to his own personal prophecy. Aaron had only one want and that, was to get out of Nevada. The bigger problem was he had no reason to leave. There was nowhere he wanted to go. There was nothing he wanted to see, or do, or experience. Even if there was, he was sure he could find it on the internet in some form. Aaron was a master of the internet. He could find anything, that picture of the man jumping from a building only to hit a bird mid flight. That site about how to field strip any pistol ever made. The name of that song you can’t remember, he could find it. Anything he couldn’t he’d make his own website for.
I only have one word Sam ... wow ...
