The Town of Falsehistoria

By John Reizer

Once upon a time, there was a town called Falsehistoria where every school, book in the community library, and citizen told the same story, one carefully crafted and entirely untrue. Generations of townsfolk had learned that Falsehistoria was founded by heroic pioneers who tamed dangerous illnesses and defeated enemy pathogens.


Censorship on social media is real!


The citizens of Falsehistoria had been made to believe that the town’s founders had discovered a unique cure for all diseases, established an unbroken line of benevolent mayors, and built an unshakable community admired throughout the different lands.

Children in public schools painted portraits of these “supposedly true” town heroes who allegedly eradicated illnesses. Teachers quizzed them on precise dates when the maladies were cured. Parents nodded approvingly in public, reciting the town’s history poem at festivals. But at night, some would sit quietly in their homes, wondering: Were any of these miraculous stories real? Did the expensive vaccines really keep people healthy? Were the town’s historical records accurate?

The government of Falsehistoria noticed that questioning. It had outlawed any denial of the official story. “Doubt the record, and you doubt the town,” the mayor’s decree warned. A single protest, perhaps whispered in a classroom, was met with a stiff fine. Repeat the doubt, and you might find yourself behind bars, your home seized, your family terrorized.

That was the fate of Old Mrs. Smith. She had taught at the elementary school for thirty years and had once asked a simple question in class: “How can we be sure the pioneers cured illness with that special vaccine?” The following week, she was fined. When she asked again about the so-called miracle vaccine, she was sent away for a month. Upon her return, she was different: her eyes quieter, her voice softer. She never asked questions about the vaccines again.


Do you remember listening to this arsehole daily?

One autumn, a curious boy named John found an old journal in the attic of his grandmother’s house. Its yellowed and worn pages told another story about the community of Falsehistoria: it mentioned travelers passing through from another town with small beginnings who had less-than-noble ideals. The old journal explained how people struggled to earn a living and created stories about made-up diseases and a fake vaccine. These town pioneers earned a living by keeping the community in constant fear.

John showed the journal to his teacher, Ms. Evans. She read it and was surprised by its contents. That night, she struggled with a choice. Was it safer to ignore the information, say nothing, and let the lie stand, or should she speak the truth and risk everything?

The next morning, in front of the whole class, she held up the journal. “History isn’t always neat,” she said. “And sometimes, we teach what others want us to believe.”

The door to her classroom swung open. The mayor stood there, accompanied by armed guards. He removed his hat. “I’m afraid that’s enough,” he said. The mayor announced a fine for unauthorized teaching of non-official history. Ms. Evans was led away.

But at that moment, as Ms. Evans was taken out, the classroom’s students stood tall. John shouted, “Show them the journal!” And another student did. Soon, other children read aloud, piecing together a different past, one of simple truth. The disease story had been a lie, and the vaccines, too!

That evening, the mayor announced that true historians were traitors. But the next morning, the school steps were filled with townsfolk. They carried copies of the journal that John had secretly printed. The people stayed on the steps all day and into the evening. Once dark, they lit candles and chanted: “Our town’s history is a lie!”

The mayor watched them from his office window. He saw that their faces were determined and unafraid. Soon, the fines and arrests increased. The government passed new laws to prevent the townspeople from discovering the truth. The government ordered television shows and movies to be produced that reinforced the town’s officialdom, but sometimes, truth finds a way to grow in the quiet between the lies.

And in Falsehistoria, the seeds of doubt regarding the community’s past were already sprouting.

The Pulse — Destroying Humanity
One Beat at a Time!


Reviewed by Pikasho Deka for Readers’ Favorite

“The Pulse is a gripping thriller by John Reizer. In 2027, a strange, mystifying pulse that seemed to emanate from the very depths of Earth itself caused widespread panic as people lost their neural integrity and consciousness. Thirteen years later, the pulse is back, stronger and more devastating than ever. With human civilization on the brink of collapse, a small elite force called the Alpha Team is tasked with the destruction of the place from where the signal is emanating. With General Adam West leading the team, Alex Harper and Maya Sanchez, who have a history with the pulse, join the mission alongside other experts from various fields. However, someone is providing the wrong information to the team. Up against an ancient evil, the Alpha Team must be ready to sacrifice themselves to save humanity.


The Pulse is a short yet thoroughly engrossing tale laced with mystery, suspense, and intrigue. From the prologue, I was hooked and devoured the book in one sitting. Author John Reizer builds on a fascinating premise and crafts an absorbing narrative with a plot that refuses to show all its cards until the very last few pages. It keeps you engaged all the way through, making you wonder what’s about to happen next. I enjoyed the dynamic between the members of the Alpha Team, especially the chemistry between Alex and Maya. Each member brought their expertise to the mission and showed their heroism and courage under exacting circumstances. It not only made them likable but also easy to root for. I also liked the ending. It tied up all the plot threads in a neat bow. If you’re a fan of mystery, and thrillers with a dash of sci-fi, this is your book.”

    Your story about Falsehistoria tells it exactly like it is, John! 👍🙂

    And into the garden I go (the garden of seeds of doubt) to lose my mind and find my soul.

    I believe sprouting souls are on the horizon!
