Vinny

A dystopian sci-fi novella

1888: A young prostitute opens a gift from a painter and discovers van Gogh’s bloody ear.

2042: The inventor of gene-tweaking buys a desiccated ear which he believes holds the key to bottling human genius.

Vinny lives on an isolated island and paints. Scientists watch him, waiting to see if his artistic genius or his latent schizophrenia will manifest first. He’s been cloned to be an artist; he’s surrounded only by things that stimulate his art. Until he discovers rock and roll…

The island is full of secrets. Vinny is hiding a guitar cut out of paper. His surrogate parents are hiding their anger and shame. And in an underground lab lurks a far more dangerous secret, a warped, wrathful angel that longs for freedom.

As these secrets explode into the public eye, Vinny must discover what it means to be true to himself when he’s been born to be someone else.

Just listen to 10 minutes if after 10 minutes, it’s not for you. Listen to something else. If interesting to you. I recommend listening to the whole thing. It gets good.

Great story!

Great story about a group cloning , trying to isolate for the genius gene. Vinny is just one of the clones of Vincent Van Gogh. It was very interesting and entertaining with suspense, great characters, and society's take on things.
