Official Book Trailer for 'Nowhere Boy'

BOOK ONE OF THE NOWHERE TRILOGIES

By Joe FranciscoPublished 7 years ago 2 min read
PrologueSome battles are private; they stand alone, answering to no one. Nowhere Boy is a strange man on stolen land, left to suffer at the hands of Damage Bandits. These thieves of virtue have stood the test of time. A rebel to his mind, resisting the lineage of a warrior calling within, choosing to remain unknown, defined by his skin. Surrounded by so much confusion; as fear, oppression, and hate boil within. How bad can it be, born free, only to grow older in this world he had no choice in calling home? How bad can it be, born free, only to grow older and learn that what others own in this world, I only lease?Some battles are private; they have no right or wrong. Some battles exist as lyrics in a one-sided theme song. Some battles exist only for the stories that follow along. So stick around for the story of a boy from parts unknown, the fight to call Nowhere, home. Those who’ve looked up to the cosmos, wondering where all that energy goes, stick around; it’s a lie when they say no one knows. Stick around; follow the rabbit down the hole; let’s see how deep it goes. Stick around; explore, learn; when you are Nowhere, there’s no need to return.

Hardy Boyz

I bounce back

No matter how much you

Try to stretch;

I bounce back

You wish I would go away

No way I bounce back

I bounce back

Captain Kangaroo

Up and down

Up and down

See I’ll never get tired;

You know what I do.

Tighten slack;

still bouncing back.

Crack my back;

Bouncing Back

Rubberband snaps; still bounce back

You wish for the odds to stack;

Still, resilience, I don’t lack.

You wish I

Would quit, but

It won’t stick.

All your efforts won’t delay;

Greatness comes from the fray.

—Nowhere Boy

Moonstone Maneuvers

My two hands

Can grasp the magic

In the stars.

My two hands

can manipulate the cause;

reflect and give pause.

So don’t ask

of me what task I

can complete.

Every feat

does not need to meet its end

with weapons. Time reckons;

Debts will be

collected. Use of

force will just

lead us to

over correction. There’s no

reason to adapt.

I’ve prepared

my plan of attack.

Many tried;

hands were tied.

Bo Jangles searched for facts; and

he never came back.

—Nowhere Boy

Spaceboy Slim

Pushing the limits;

No games, no gimmicks.

Drown out the cynics.

Pushing the limits;

There’s no way to silence him.

No games, no gimmicks;

Call him Spaceboy Slim.

—The BeenThere Man

The RocketMan’s Plans

Those dusty

streets allow me to

get lost in

all of my

rickety rockets. Repairs

out there will cost me.

An attempt

to steer me clear from

my nearing

Destiny.

I’m getting so close, I must

fix the rest of me.

Rickety

Rocket man plans on

testing me.

I know this;

so I made the recipe;

he will not best me.

—Nowhere Boy
