Terry

On Sunday a man came to Terry’s house.  His visit wasn’t unprovoked, or unexpected.  More so, there was nothing Terry could do about it.  Anything Terry did would just give the man’s coming more urgency.  Terry had been sitting in the sofa, arms stretched over the arms, back straight upright against the back.  He had [...]

High-Orbit

Now, I haven’t really read this over yet, so I don’t really know how it sounds or anything like that.  Also, WordPress doesn’t correctly upload .doc files, apparently: Gruder stood on the side of the ship.  It was long and pointed, a classic rocket-ship feel, with long, slender spikes jutting out at measured lengths near [...]

1/20/08 – Flying

“ A man stood atop a tall building, the tallest he could find.  He gazed down at the street and the people below, all so tiny now, like ants.  But they weren’t tiny when he was amongst them.  They were large, and oppressive.  They were insurmountable.  There were so many people above him.  So many [...]

1/20/08 – Dope Nose: beginning

I’ve been listening to Weezer a lot very recently. “Hash Pipe” originally inspired me to this. EDIT:  I really want to revise this, but before that happens I think a second part may actually make an appearance.  But I will revise it. “ Sam opened the window. He opened it wide.

1/17/08 – Packer: sketch

“ “Some people are all alone.  Yes, so very alone.  All alone, with no outside contact at all.  With no friends.  But not me.  No, not me, I have all the friends in the world.  And all in my very own home.  Isn’t that right, Mary?”  He stroked the corpse’s hair.  “Yes, it is.  And [...]

1/15/08 – Circus Juggler

“ Marty the circus juggler juggled his circus circuit’s acts.  He could create from any arsenal an awesome acrobatic display daring to try any spectator’s senses.  But the things that Marty played with were golden wings that he would stay with, for beautiful as they be before an awestruck audience, heavy was the weight which [...]

1/13/08 – Airplane

Wrote this at the last second.  I want to actually start getting them in on the day they’re for. “ A man sat on an airplane, on his way to Chicago.  He was on a business flight, and was even dressed in a suit and tie. He boarded the plane with everyone else, and took [...]

1/12/08 – Lacrima Putrida: beginning

“ Maxwell Lacrimans was a boy of twelve years of age; he had blonde hair and smart green eyes.  He was contenting himself sipping from a bowl of tomato soup when he heard a commotion coming from the other room.  “No, you’ll never have it!  No!”  It was his father. “Give it up, or you’ll [...]

1/12/08 – Alex: Theresa

“ Alex rounded the corner.  His heart was racing.  He was really going to do this.  He could hardly believe it.  He was nervous all over.  Theresa was someone new: someone he didn’t know well, and someone who didn’t know him.  He didn’t have to worry about what she had thought of him years ago, [...]
