It is better to have dreamed a thousand dreams that never were, than never to have dreamed at all, Alexander Pushkin said that. Cacophony is the radical and discordant culmination of those dreams. Will you dream of boy who finds Atlantis, lovers seeking the aid of a voodoo priestess, a woman debating her future at home or just a guy looking for a new roommate. The choice is all yours, just understand that sometimes things aren't always what they seem.

Darrell Shaffer Jr has been writing since he was a child. He would spend hours writing nonsensical stories about superheroes, aliens, vampires and ninjas with the occasional dip into horror. While he doesn't write about ninjas currently, other things have not changed much. Some would call him a madman and he would not dispute those claims. In fact, he will not dispute any claims or refute any rumors about him.

He spends his nights writing, hoping someone will enjoy his work. He spends his weekends sleeping because dreams are his reality. He's out of his mind. In the mean time, he will continue working until age 67 so that he can retire and conquer a neighboring galaxy. Enjoy the stories until he blasts off to Mars or Venus. Who knows?
