Jumpers
Want to know why I haven’t had any time or energy to touch this blog in the past week or two? This is why: Glad that’s done! Now I can get back to doing other things in life again, like going outside or not wanting to stab myself! Want a copy? I know you do!…

A Fan Letter
Attention, friends and readers: a wonderful author that I know of, who isn’t giving me any kickbacks in any which way to tell you this, has just published a collection of short stories that I am absolutely certain that you’ll love– Wilderness: A Collection of Dark Tales, by Elizabeth Yon.

Fries and Shakes
“That is so absolutely not attractive,” I say. “Wait, wait,” Bez says. “I’m not finished yet.” “Doesn’t it hurt?” “Only if they’re too hot,” she says. “You don’t want to get a burn on the inside.” My phone rings and I answer it without looking, which is unlike me, given my general dislike of the…

A Sleepless Night
I am very sleepy today, and all the coffee in the world isn’t going to help, I think. The Kitchen God looks on disapprovingly as I brew some anyway. “Be quiet,” I say to him. “I don’t want to hear it.” He remains silent, but I know what he’s thinking. Jealous, fickle Kitchen God. I…

The real one.” Smoke curled up and out from between her lips. “Your money buys my time,” she said. “That’s all.” “It’s a lot…

3 a.m.
I should be in bed, but I am not. I have not felt well today, or yesterday either for that matter: a little lightheaded, a little unsteady. I’m not sure what it is, if it’s a bug I’ve managed to catch or some internal imbalance of my body’s own making, but it’s unpleasant and unsettling.…

The Nereid
This is what I want to show you, this right here: Bez, standing barefoot in the sand, her skirt hiked up mid-thigh as the cold and ceaselessly slipping waves splash against her legs, as the sun turns more and more orange and red as it slips lower and lower below the horizon, as I sit…
