displaced: (un)collected poems

You are on the run. You came to Prague to get away from money, from America, from your ex. From yourself.

Now you are back. Just for a visit. At least that's what you say. And then they offer you a job. You take it, and it takes you. To Chicago, to New York, to San Francisco where your ex has built a new life for herself. And it don't include you.

You are in a hotel. You have fifty zillion channels of oblivion, you have fifty zillion fast food places on DRIVE THRU, you have fifty zillion hours of dark jet lag hours between punch-clocks. What do you do? DISPLACED is what Rick Pryll did. In so many words.

You can never go home. Or can you?

LIES: a hyperfiction short story

 

You can never understand a person until you understand her lies.

​

A summer apart has put two young lovers in a interesting predicament - do they tell each other the truth, or do they continue to live with their lies?  To complicate matters, they have each kept writing journals of their summer exploits, and ironically enough, they look exactly alike.  One each page, the reader is presented with a choice - do you want more truth, or do you want more lies?  Depending on your choices you are taken on a number of different paths, leading to multiple endings.   Truth and Lies - or can the real story be found somehwere in between?
