INSPIRED: A Decade of Imagination & Reflection: Poetry & Short Stories Collection
by Shemar James
I.N.S.P.I.R.E.D. showcases and explores the last ten years of my life’s experiences and creative works through the focused lens of poetry and short stories. The title of this collection, of course, has a dual meaning. I not only felt inspiration to share these pieces but it is also the acronym within I.N.S.P.I.R.E.D that birthed this project. This special decade of reflection is examined through my own creative tools of introspection, narrative, symbolism, perspective, imagination, reflection, entertainment, and documentation. I am thrilled to share this wide spectrum of work that encompasses the journey of fictional tale, cultural identity, spiritual reflection, social justice, the essence of community and other significant elements. I hope this inspires you as well.

The Adventures of Zorax Zoomster
by Shemar James
In the city of Zorgatopolis on the planet Zorga, teenage alien Zorax Zooomster has just saved the planet from a meteorite apocalypse. Unfortunately, before Zorax has a chance to bask in the glory of his heroic act, the sky is suddenly filled with enormous spaceships that immediately suck Zorax’s dog, Vanilla, into the light. As Zorax looks on in horror, he has no idea that this horrifying act is just the beginning of an unbelievable chain of events.
Zorax is sure he knows who stole his dog—King Zemus, the immoral and baleful ruler of the galaxy unit. After Zorax summons the assistance of his sister, Zempunella, and his best friend, Zork, to help find Vanilla, the determined freedom fighters fly over the city and soon realize that the spaceships have caused more destruction than they ever imagined. But when Zempunella and Zork are also kidnapped, Zorax has no choice but to embark on a dangerous journey to rescue his companions—all while attempting to prevent a devastating aerial attack promised by Zemus himself.
In this thrilling fantasy tale, a teenage alien crew venture off into a vast galaxy with the hope they can save their civilization from a powerful ruler determined to carry out an evil plan.
