My mum passed away four years ago now when I was fourteen. It was without a doubt the worst day of my life and I don’t think I’ve fully recovered. She knew she was dying and she didn’t even tell us. I still feel betrayed by her which I feel bad about because I don’t …
I want to make something just off-the-walls bizarre. The budget for this project is huge, so I really can stretch it to the extreme boundaries of my imagination. I’ve got to make a corporate ad for my work, and they really don’t care what the result is. They said I can be as creative as …
I’m so tired. I’m at work trying not to fall asleep at my desk right now. My eyes are heavy, my breathing is slow and I’m blinking way too many times per minute to function properly. I’m trying really hard to stay awake, but with the heater blowing onto me and making me feel like …
Today is moving day! I finally found a house that fits what I need. From first impressions, it seems like I’ll be living with good housemates who are keen to hang out and party but are also happy to give everyone their own space. That’s exactly what I want in housemates, and so I’m feeling …

But no, apparently somebody decided to try going for a swim in …
“Give me my dang snapper rack!” I said, walking toward Cuthbert and the strange window repairman. “I just want to unite the lost pieces of the Atlantis and appease my patron.” Cuthbert shook his head and kept a hand on the snapper rack. “That’s the thing, friend. The Heart of the Deep isn’t what you …
My buddy Frank and I went for a walk today when we started hearing some strange noises from the sewer. I’m getting ahead of myself, though. This story really starts earlier this morning, when I awoke from a pleasant dream about hugging sheep. My wife had already left for work, so I had the house …
There are days when life is really dull. And then…there are days when fiction just seems uninspired and tame compared to what’s going on in the news. Like today, when I was listening to the news during breakfast and found that some crazy person tried to break into the state museum. That’s not too exciting …
There’s more than one way to skin a cat, and likewise there’s more than one way to deal with a gnarly toenail situation. Not that we’re skinning cats these days, mind you – I wouldn’t want anyone to get the wrong end of the stick about that. No, the days of cat-skinning are well and …
