Jimmy Prophet's Library: Simon Son of Jimmy

Simon earned three PhDs by the time he was sixteen. He was wildly popular at Stanford University, involved in everything from leading a paranormal research group, to befriending football players and developing winning game strategies for them. He makes friends with everyone, including the cheerleader squad, but starting at age ten, he has his sights set on Rachael, a school reporter. Fascinated and charmed, Rachael befriends him as a kid brother, but that eventually changes as he passes her up in height, and eventually proposes to her on his eighteenth birthday. The future looks bright for Simon, but something that always troubled him was his absentee father, Jimmy. Whenever he asks his mother about him, the stories she spins are too fantastic to believe. Simon initially dismisses these stories as fanciful tales spawn from a troubled mind; a self-diluted coping mechanism. However, the fact that Simon and his mother both operate on an unprecedented spectrum of genus, cannot not be dismissed. Additionally, Simon has a rare disorder similar to Short Sleeper Syndrome, except in Simon's case, he doesn't sleep... at all! Because of these oddities, Simon's mother Elisa secured employment with a multi-billion dollar corporation, intricately integrated with the DIA, CIA, and other classified government agencies, specifically to avoid ending up a government lab rat. She knows that she and Simon are so intelligent, it is only a matter of time before the government would view them as a threat to national security... As Simon ages, he begins to wonder, could secretive government agencies be the reason why his father went missing? And could Elisa have also obtained employment with Eaglestar Enterprise, as part of her ongoing two decade search for her missing husband? Following Simon's graduation from Stanford, and employment with Eaglestar Enterprise where his mother works, Simon has every intention of getting to the bottom of his mother's bizarre stories, because the facts are just enough to make him wonder, perhaps they aren't as fictional as he initially assumed. Unfortunately, tragedy strikes just one year after Simon marries Rachael, killing her in a freak car accident. Then immediately after this, while flirting with suicide, Simon has another freak accident that leaves him completely paralyzed, and stricken with a rare case of locked-in syndrome. Then comes the day that Simon is informed that his mother has been reported as missing. Imprisoned within his own body, and completely isolated, what is left? With nothing but idle time, Simon spends his every waking moment in deep meditation, exercising his vast intellect with the discipline of a Tibetan Monk. His initial goal is to create a tulpa; an artificial entity of pure thought, which he learned about from his PhD in Demonology, and from his paranormal research group. What eventually transpires, tests the boundaries of the human mind, and the limits of faith...
