OK so I know I do a lot of poetry but this is something a little different. I will do my best to post the next chapter every day but no promises. This is the prologue to a story I’ve been working on. “Come on, Vanessa, he’s your best friend, just talk to him,” Jenny [...]
I Was An Overweight Teenage Vampire
My friends and I’d just seen the latest Twilight movie and were standing outside the theater laughing at how wrong Hollywood had gotten it all. We should know, we’re real vampires. But looking around I couldn’t help thinking any one of us could have been in that movie. Anyone, that is, except for me. Most [...]
This Is NOT An Autobiography of the E
One of the things I have to do to properly hone my art is use less ‘F’ words. Sure, it may be emotive, it may actually express the sentiment at the time, and fucking-ay it feels great — but there are larger issues at stake. Similarly I have to decrease my use of the word [...]
The Annoying Dead
They were everywhere! The dead had returned to life, filling the streets like the unemployed. Grotesque monsters banging into trashcans in the middle of the night, mowing lawns at six in the morning, tying up automated teller machines, talking in movie theaters, farting in elevators.
The Source of Her Antipathy Toward Clowns
It was the kind of incident that could only happen once, at least if you live in a small town. The kind of small town that occasionally, once every year or so, gets little run-of-the-mill carnivals. I don’t want to get into it, but all I’m going to say is that she is still well [...]
Need a Kiss
The Artful Dodger was somehow missing again today, after about a week, so Fagin said it was now time for me to go out and make us all a living. He gave me a big cardboard cutout, from an even bigger piece of cardboard that he keeps somewhere in his ‘stash’. And he gave me [...]

Unexpected Life Lessons: A tale of of tolerance and acceptance.
Unexpected Life Lessons A tale of tolerance and acceptance. Food for truth. A tale of tolerance and acceptance. She said her mother loved calf-liver, but she hated it. She couldn’t stand the smell or look of it. Could not understand why ANYONE ate it. Said her Mom would serve it smothered in creamy- grayish-gelatinous goo…but [...]

Hands
In the dark your eyes are reminiscent of torches. Glistening in the still of a night where rain is echoing in the soil. A calm breeze cuts through my frail skin. Oh, how it’s calling out my name, calling to me like the ground calls out to the sky where they coincide. My attention belongs [...]

Man who is bad at Geography, and people’s names
Geography was probably my most hated class in school, likely trouncing P.E. and the one where you have to cut up wood and make objects anyone can buy in a store for ten bucks a pop. This was my excuse for hiring a car to get to the party (yes, I lied to the host [...]

Adventure
Trip[ck?]s of Perception
While gallivanting along early one morning, a pair of friends stumbled upon a box. A similar box on the side of the road wouldn’t have garnered their attention, nor would an identical box in a dump or recycling facility. It was ordinary, to say the least. The box was intended as a cooler, all Styrofoam [...]

And in the Future… All is Devastation!
The sky grows heavy, bloated with bile and blood. Criers brandishing their bells and macguffins. Fates pronounced in the day’s butchered swine. (Success complements survival) Effervescence expelled into skeletal frames. Niche messiahs. The complexities of our realm bastardized into tropes and memes. Illuminating, yet casting a greater shadow, veiling the strains in the flesh and [...]
