The earth's epilogue was a forgone conclusion.
Our World selects seven of the best human beings that man, woman, and other could put their faith in,
to ensure human existence, each displaying traits of a master in his/hers/its field.
However, not all traits are in the best interest of humankind.
Out of this World places seven hospital patients on a Plan B shuttle. Life was difficult on Earth. A new
planet presents new problems. The ex-Fruit and Nut Friendly Psychiatric Hospital patients are up for the
challenge.
Into the Other World—The Twist. Not only a mid-1900s dance, it is also associated with a lemon, a
warped shape, a frame of mind, a warped frame of mind, a face you pull from sucking lemons and an
end of story, unexpected finish, not to be given away, glancing at the back cover.
Read an Excerpt
“Panicked, Venus had no idea where to go from there. She began to run down the almost deserted
street. Her thoughts were a collective mess. The torture of the woman, Paul Elkato, FILTH, and the APC
filled her less-than-settled mind. She ran, turning in only one direction, checking behind her the whole
time. She had now lost her sense of direction. Venus was extremely hot from the unintended, fast-paced
getaway, and she felt as if a huge cloud had covered her entirety. She was out of oxygen, and it seemed
the whole universe was spinning in the opposite direction. Dis-orientated, she kept moving. Realising
the gravity of the matter, she knew she had to seek refuge and hide from Paul and FILTH. Investigating
her surroundings, she noticed a large sign. With limited options, Venus reluctantly entered the
establishment.
“Hello, and welcome to The Fruit and Nut Friendly Psychiatric Hospital,” came the receptionist’s
opening dialogue.
Venus, wishing to keep her new secret, declared she was a nymphomaniac and needed help. The bi-
sexual receptionist was more than willing to admit her into the system. Venus would only stay a short
time before the doors to freedom were unintentionally opened.”
About the Author:
Born Darren Edward Watling, Subiaco, Western Australia, 1966. Darren excelled in English,
maintaining ‘A’s, throughout his schooling and wrote a play, ‘Laughing Gas’, for his school at the age of
10. Credited with one small, published article, Darren found inspiration and reward, arriving at his latest
piece, ‘Last Chance’.
He completed an apprenticeship, as a fitter, at Princess Margaret Hospital, while continuing his passion
for short story writing.
Traveling Australia for three years on a private bus gave Darren a beginning to the experiences and
continued, humorous outlook he has on life.
Darren approached his mother Jill Stubbs Mills and asked for her blessing to take her short story,
‘Deception’, and rewrite it into a novel. (The feedback from her publisher about her story was
exceptional). Jill agreed to her son’s request. Sadly, Jill now suffers with dementia, but, keeps her sense
of humour.
Various forms of employment, including a movie extra, a welder on a crocodile farm, a drummer for a
touring band and currently a roof plumber, gave Darren considerable ‘fuel’, for a fired up, comedic
novel.
Darren has had several passions over the past 56 years while walking this Earth. Drums, Karate, tennis
and continuing today- comedic writing.
