Sometimes I think I’ll just but wait maybe I’ll but this is right in front of me it needs doing. I should do this. Look I’m doing it. I’m getting it done and What happened? How is it twenty minutes later? Why did I even do those other things Where did they come from? Okay … Continue reading But

Corpse
There is a corpse in my yard, splayed across the grass. In a way, it is beautiful, the way its limbs twist around one another, twined together in death in a way they never touched in life. In death I can see its bright insides, shining out like a beacon calling for aid, for respite … Continue reading Corpse
Author’s Reflection: A Retrospection
This blog has taught me a lot, and it's not all something I can clearly articulate. I've learned that it's just as difficult as I thought to be inspired on a daily basis. There are days, like today, when the inspiration that I need to write something new and different enough from previous entries simply … Continue reading Author’s Reflection: A Retrospection
Band Camp!
Greetings, companions. Every year, I come back to my high school band camp as an instructor. This year is no different. For the next week, I will be very busy most hours of the day, and I'll probably be using my down time to rest. There likely won't be any posts this week, and if … Continue reading Band Camp!
Author’s Reflection: Din
I actually have quite a lot I could say about the piece that will be published today, even though, upon reading it, it may not seem dissimilar from anything else I've published here. Din is based on concepts I began to develop over eighteen years ago. The world in which Din takes places and the characters it references … Continue reading Author’s Reflection: Din
Mr. Scary
I saw him everywhere, when I was younger. It’s strange, because I have such vivid memories of him — of actually seeing him, outside my window, or in the night as I rode in the car. The memories I have of him are just as real as my memories of throwing toy pteranodons in the … Continue reading Mr. Scary
Author’s Reflection: White Marble
The story that will be posted today, White Marble, may seem less like a short story and more like a part of something else. That's because, in a way, it is. I wrote White Marble (which is just what I've titled it for posting here) as a way to explore a character from a longer … Continue reading Author’s Reflection: White Marble
A Regrettable Delay
Friends and companions, The Yew Tree became a story in two parts on accident, just as Trapped did before it. It grew outside of the bounds of the time limits I set myself to write. I intended to finish writing it yesterday so that it could conclude today, but unfortunately, I was quite unwell yesterday … Continue reading A Regrettable Delay
No Post on Sundays
In continuation of my now established pattern, there will be no post today. The conclusion (for now) to the Trapped series will be arriving Monday. Trapped, Part 1 Trapped, Part 2
Author’s Reflection
The story that will be published today marks the first time a story on the blog outgrew the time constraints I've laid out for myself. Therefore, you'll be seeing Part 1 posted today, and Part 2 posted next week. When the second part comes out, I'll update the first so that they're linked to each … Continue reading Author’s Reflection
