In 2016 I studied my final undergraduate year for a Linguistics degree. I was sitting on very strong grades from the year previous, which meant that I was suited to graduate with a low first, or a high 2:1. Everything was pretty much going to plan until I snapped the metatarsal bone in my right foot, which left me incapacitated for 11 weeks, from work and from University. I was unable to drive at this point, and too none of my house-mates had their vehicles. I was so stubborn that I imploded emotionally, physically and socially. I withdrew from myself and everyone, and I became very mentally and physically unwell. Too was this probably the reason as to why my foot did not heal properly. It was during this period, that I challenged myself beyond all my other failing to write like an untapped waterfall. And so I made my first blog Kindlykickingback.com - Get it. Beyond my leg healing my final year at University was a burnout, and so it seemed that all my fates had played out in Worcester, where I studied. In 2017 when I reapplied to study at a University closer to my heritage, I regained enough confidence to reinvent what I had created into, a published book. It would be a genre-less though-bank of interesting introspections and observations, whilst looking far and deep into time and psychology and life. I suppose too the title became and inspiration from my vague obsession with Frederick Nietzsche. Beyond Good & Evil became Beyond Absolute, because growing up as an undiagnosed Aspie, that's what my entire prelude of life experience had felt as. I had played with other titles, but it seemed to me that this was the answer to the question: What is the meaning of my life?kind regardsS. R. Gurney------Blurb: How this work came about is a typical story. As with all stories it had a beginning, a middle and an end. To where those three occurred, I am still unsure, just as I am unsure whether it is finished, or will be, or can. What you will find in Beyond Absolute, I cannot say, but stems ultimately from the imagination of a dreamer, a man whose life and limits have been romanticized for the very artisanship an artist must strive for in order to be considered, at the very least, an artist. What can this mean? That there exists an ideal reader, whom sleeps as well as any, eats as much as any and lives in as similar a way if not intrinsically set as I. For this person no longer represents idealism, the way that I must, and have done so with such rigor, to invent a mechanism for self to foresee. To foresee a future, a final benchmark, with those eyes that reside within my mind. When I ask "What lies beyond Absolute?" My best-loved response was "what tells the truth?" but I have little time for comedy, or tragedy, in that of the absolute that drives heroes to act as villains the good hearted to act with malice, or the indeterminate acts of a God that smites without justification or purposeful causation. Ends without means, life and meaning without logic. Blinded by the insensible absolute, the searing magnanimity of duality, where I have lived an entire lifetime and so must you. Beyond Absolute.-----Official Review : Put simply, Gurney’s ficlets, for the most part, focus on the inner workings of the mind in between moments of time. For example, I particularly enjoyed “Advocacy or Superiority”, where the narrator’s consciousness is focused on the various scenes around him, such as the little girl crossing the road, rather than on what the narrator is doing. I found this fascinating, as this helped me, personally, to learn to be more aware of the things that happen around me - G. Gen
