This one’s a little new for me. I wrote about artists. The story’s pretty self explanatory and, it’s not too long. Check it out, I hope you like it! You can also grab the pdf here, if you’re so inclined.
I still remember the way the smoke hung in the air that night in that sleazy west coast bar. What I don’t remember is how we all ended up there — in California, that is — with none of us having any real background there. I guess we were all trying to find ourselves, or make it big or something, I couldn’t really tell you. We had all been fed so much Hollywood bullshit, we believed anything was possible. We were starving artists, and we wanted the whole world to know it. Read the rest of this entry »

Oh hey, a guest writer!
February 21, 2012
Hey guys, this is a little out of the ordinary, but I’m going to put up a piece from a guest writer. Her name’s Katie Marie Walters, and she writes too — turns out I’m not the only one, despite the url! She’s a pretty neat girl, and we went to high school together. Read this story!
The Lighthouse

Atop the tower, their blades clash,
but beneath them the flowers grow
just as sure as the rain that falls.
Squishy Individualism

Everybody wants their own profound commandment born of the wind, the earth, the trees

these bees…
Me and Julio Down by the School Yard
January 7, 2012
This is a short story I wrote about some kids and a guy and a cat. I think I might do some more stuff with some of the characters. The picture’s courtesy of Deanna Alexander, and you should check out her photography if you like making your eyes happy. Click here for the PDF version of the story, if you’re into that sort of thing.
On The Case
“I don’t know what you expect from me,” argued his father, “I just build houses, I don’t investigate them. That’s the kind of job for a detective or something.”

Buy This Book
Stories: All New Tales, edited by Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio.
Now, those two names alone should be enough to entice you. This book is an ultramodern collection of –you guessed it– stories. These short stories have all been assorted based on a very simple, very poignant four word theme: “…and then what happened?”
This collection really does have something for everyone. I can’t recommend it enough. With stories by Joyce Carol Oates, Chuck Palahniuk, Michael Moorcock, and many other of the current greats, you really can’t go wrong. If you’re looking for something to carry around and read intermittently, this collection is perfect for you.
So buy it already!
The War Is Over
January 4, 2012
Welp, I promised more updates, so here’s a poem I’ve recently been working with a bit. I’ve been calling it “We Made It,” but it really isn’t titled. Here you go! A special thanks to Liz Danchik for the associated image. You can find more of her work here.
Strap yourself into a fancy new space car and
enjoy the living-room feel of the ride,
the war is over.
