If a man becomes his own brand, will he like what he sees?

Pablo Mistry envisions the latest advance in electronic textiles out of Silicon Valley when he beholds a sleek high-tech T-shirt at an airport boutique. But he soon discovers that the ultimate personalized user experience has turned him into his own, rather dubious brand– and that this tailor-made digitgal monstrosity will bring him no end of grief– unless he can get the damned thing off.

A humous science-fiction misadventure by Alistair Ainscott.

Short Story: Occupy Stinking America

Occupy Stinking America, a strange 4300-word speculative fiction romance story, is now available for the Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, and Smashwords:

In the future, love stinks– and so do you.

Walter Peabody has a problem. But is the problem with him, or his entire stinking nation? As they pare away all that is unnecessary in their lives, Walter and Gwendolyn– and everyone else in this great land our ours– just might find out. For without his stench, Walter would have nothing: not his supermodel wife,  not his mega-yacht, and definitely not enough of a fortune to fuel a small army.

The Writing of Occupy Stinking America

This is a story that I wrote from a title– originally, “The Skunk in My Mouth.” For some reason I decided to retitle it when I indie published it.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy the story.

Five Story Collection: Strange Obsessions

Five Strange Obsessions, a ~17,000 word collection of short stories, is now available for the Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, and Smashwords:

Five offbeat speculative tales of strange obsession.

Professionally published writer Alistair Ainscott presents five offbeat speculative tales:  “The Thriller Writer’s Workshop,” “Tailor Maidens,” “Occupy Stinking America,” “Assailing the Void,” and “Trinity of the Sands.”

From hotshots with something to prove, a romance of bad breath and extreme plastic surgery, to one man’s burden to atone for nuclear holocaust, it doesn’t get much stranger.
