David Davila was born in Austin, Texas, and served in the United States Marine Corps for six and a half years. He moved to Portland, Oregon, with his wife Rosalee after leaving the Marine Corps, where he worked for the Postal Service and authored “Two Souls”, his first book. He returned to Austin, Texas, where he worked for the US Postal Service for the final fifteen years of his career.
In the story “Adam” by David Davila, tells the narrative of Dr. Jeffrey Mongroll II, who, in his grief over the death of his father, created a monster. He swore to develop the ideal humanoid that would flourish in this world and eventually replace humans as we know them. It got away and ended up in the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. If this species is allowed to exist, humanity will perish.
The narrative will bring you on an intense ride of fear of what lurks in the depths of the river. In the depths of the river, the creature attacks the team trying to capture it. Back on the deck of the Coast Guard ship, the struggle for life between man and beast and life as we know it started.
This story was commended by Kat Kennedy of the US Review of Books, to wit, “Through moving diary entries, Davila examines the turmoil of Jeffrey’s mind as he grapples with the horrible result of his self-proclaimed God complex. These journal musings offer an intriguing philosophical discussion concerning the nature of mankind. The author presents graphic descriptions of the monster’s attacks and the carnage left behind, making this a novel for adult readers. Davila’s vision of Adam and his creator is both fascinating and frightening. His exploration of the nature of humanity and evil is an underlying theme that broadens the book’s appeal.”
