Short Fiction
My name is Jacob Webb, and I am currently a student at the University of West Florida, pursuing my degree in English Literature. My purpose in creating and maintaining this collection of work is to do just that; compile all of my work, whether creative or academic, into one easily accessible location. Readers can expect to find any works of short fiction, poetry, journal entries, academic essays, and anything other literary work I am particularly proud of!

Short Fiction
A high-level corporate worker finds himself stranded in the dangerous streets of the city's crumbling lower levels. Inspired by my experience playing Cyberpunk 2020 with my close friends.
When a wealthy man is found murdered, under debatably mysterious circumstances, an eccentric professor is consulted regarding the "true" nature of the death. This story is both parody, and homage, to the writing of H.P. Lovecraft, and the often humorous clichés of the "cosmic horror" genre.
Academic Papers
A critical analysis of how freedom is portrayed in Milton's "Paradise Lost."
An analysis of Critical Race Theory and the Neo-Slave Narrative in Charles Johnson's "Middle Passage"
