Yes, and if you look at "my writing" page, where all stories are introduced, I make mention of that stylism:
"I like the idea of describing a scene and then replaying that same scene in a different way. I am fascinated with the interweaving of a narrative and a screenplay. I want my writing, like my painting, to make a statement on how simultaneously fucked up and beautiful the world is. I believe all good writing, whether short story or novel, should have a built-in philosophy. My influences are Dostoyevsky, Vonnegut and Brett Easton Ellis."
That alludes to my comments previously about philosophy. I believe all great writers had a very personal and profound understanding of life. It would be impossible to write a compelling story without.

Thank you, I found this back-and-forth between lawyer and witness amusing:
"You state you are not a boy. Please answer the following question. Do you have a penis?"
"Excuse me?" I heard him.
"Do you have a penis, Ms. Carter?"
"I should have one around ten tonight."
"Objection!"
