"apokalypsis" is the alter ego of Aric Haley, purveyor of surreal futures.
My short story "All Hallows Eve in the Shrine of Dead Celebrities" won first place in the Metro Detroit Writers prose contest 2008. It was published in the Winter 2008 issue of

The word apokalypsis does not actually refer to total global destruction, as many would assume. (Don't be too disappointed.) It comes from a Greek word meaning to unveil or reveal. In this case, I seem to enjoy unveiling the madness that lurks just beneath the skin of "reality".
I am also an armchair cultural anthropologist and philosopher, software consultant, would-be educational reformer, student of organizational change, writer, jealous sycophant of most of the Inklings, world traveler, devoted spouse, Christian humanist, conflicted egotist, amateur psychologue, wannabe enigma, and much more!
Preferred diet: "Eat that frog" for breakfast, whip up a bowl of chaos for lunch, and have ideological sacred cow for dinner.
