Divergent Lives of No Consequence is a collection of four short stories that take a deep look at individuals that exist on the fringes of society. Broken down into four stages of places in lives that do not matter outside of their own paths.

The Boy: A look into the life of an ordinary young man, growing up poor and unloved in a small town where people to to disappear rather than exist. The young man in this story is wondering if his life is worth anything. Does he matter at all in this world.

The Veteran: Or How the World Can No Longer Understand Me: Learning to kill, being comfortable with it as a job, is not a natural act. Yet many men and women the world over do this everyday in the military. And the worst part is they go home, they get a pat on the back and discounts in some stores. All for what? For services rendered? For being the best at the act of taking a life? Sure. But when they cannot exist like civilians any longer, they are cast aside. The soldiers become liabilities to society. But they keep moving as long as possible.

The Insomniac's Lullaby: A man that never was close to anyone, and finds the solitude of his apartment the most hospitable place to be, is tired. He wonders aloud, how long can a human exist with no sleep? Tonight, he may find out. When you extend the rope to hang on a bit longer, you soon find out that it eventually ends.

They Call Them Death: In a future where there is no war, guns, poverty, or homelessness society should be a complete utopia. What happens, though, if the persons who hold all of the power are creating this utopia is not as beautiful from the inside as it appears on the outside. The journey to perfection is littered with the bones of those that just didin't make it.
