Sinopsis

Bill is a wealthy tech consultant, plugged into the design of artificial intelligence. He understands AI as the already evident organic evolution of intelligence in computing. Anyway, he's making a lot of money. And he is alone. He has had relationships, but is isolated by the screens in front of him. Mary is on that screen, a performance artist whose constant video feed allows Bill to escape the technology.  
 
But really, that escape is most real in the hot summer walk to a local bar, La Tuna. The neighborhood is old, eclectic.  And the bar, well, a zoo.  There he is among friends, well, more like becoming a regular, which is kinda like high school...the people are there. And then he meets Francis, the bartender. Francis works at the library in the Texas collection, every day, but at night seeks the comfort of the hot sweaty girl serving cold beer. And she takes to Bill, who becomes a regular. After a violent counter with an ass at La Tuna, she winds up sitting by Bill's bed in the hospital. He awakes, looking at her sitting in a chair across the room. And she stirs, and they begin ... some trip across the divide that separates people. And that road takes them to West Texas.

    'An absorbing dance around the truth, in which tenderness and starkness alternate and the awkward cadences of debate are chasteningly authentic… considers the effects of grief, but instead of making pain appear poetic it portrays with sober precision the essential ordinariness of its two characters' - Evening Standard
    'Painful, powerful… a minutely realistic look at the oddly colourless nature of grieving, and the grim concrete structures that 21st-century secular society builds around it' - Time Out
    'Quietly unflinching… an almost forensic exploration of the hard, sharp edges of grief and loss… [has a] bruising truthfulness' - The Stage
    'searing... a tear-jerker' - New York Times

    Incorporating real-time happenings, "Bedeviled Nightingale" works to explain tragic times for even those people to whom we don't think it could happen. Brianna is an author, hunkered in her cabin for relaxation and work. She uses the cabin as her office and her home, away from the hustle from the city. 
    Divorced and focused, Brianna wants nothing to do but to take care of her world. She enjoys the nature around her and what it provides, until her ex-husband comes knocking down her door. Her Southern ways taught her many things, including ignoring people she doesn't want to be around or talk to. Nathaniel brings bad news from the lower country, cuing Brianna to pack and go with him to her father. 
    Family secrecy is one of many things found in this town. Brianna's family is no different. From the lack of communications to the destruction of other family members, this family was doomed from the start.  
    Desperation brings out the best in people, but not always in the best circumstances. Brianna and Nathaniel both find this out when Short Story Press and Ruth Pettite present "Bedeviled Nightingale". 
    Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.
