Running home in a kilt. Maybe the kilt is a little too long? The kids across the street are making fun of me. “It’s a kilt!” Ignorant bastards. They’re right about the top though. It’s hideously 80s femme. Halloween comes to life. With zombies. The kid needs to go to a school Halloween function at […]
The pinball theme song is up for grabs! The original composers of the pinball theme song have deleted it from existence. Not just burned the original composition. Not just shattered the original record. They have purged its existence from space-time. But since memory is disjointed out of space-time, folks know that there’s something wrong. Folks […]
I’m a little bit panicked because I have this overdue assignment. I’m supposed to write up this long and detailed discussion of cytoarchitecture for my German class in Russian. Unfortunately, there’s isn’t much concentration that’s going to happen in this house, as CM’s parents have come over to hang out with my mom. This was […]
As a vampire family, it’s hard to keep everyone in line. I’ve managed somehow to temporarily emerge during the daylight and hold a barbeque. My wife and her son are not vampires but they’re necessary to keep up the front and live in this neighborhood. Not sure how much longer we’ll be able to keep […]
I’m a covert intelligence operative working on a mission in the Afghanistan theater. I’ve been sent to collect some information from a contact of ours that lives and operates out of this particular neighborhood outside of one of the major cities. The neighborhood resembles the one that I grew up in – – except that […]
We’re a crew of bomber pilots-cum-smugglers. It’s a World War II backdrop. But a little more steampunk. And a little more pirate. Think Memphis Belle meets League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (minus the invisible man and super-powers garbage). We’ve flown behind enemy lines in our converted and camouflaged B-17. Our mission is to smuggle a load […]
Me & A.’s dad have gone to a Clutch concert together. Clutch has become a HUGE act. G&R huge. Filling stadiums huge. And the two of us are off to the show together. Our seats aren’t very good but that doesn’t matter very much. Because it’s not actually a concert. It’s a MMORPG version of […]
I’m seeing through the eyes of Six Feet Under‘s Brenda. Hiding. We have (she has?) run through a series of rooms. Each room is deeper underground than the last. Sub-basements. Dim lights. The sounds in our wake are doomed and dismal. Shrieks of horror. Choked grunts and gun shots and other clamor. We find a […]
A. & I & Mark G. are climbing some rock formation in the American Southwest. It looks like Chimney Rock – – an arid landscape with a rocky cone protruding, tapering off into a pillar. The climb is a tough one; the dry heat saps our energy and the last quarter mile is practically a […]
1. A flooded world? All the rooms seem to be filled with water. Are they all swimming pools? I’ve fallen in love. She’s blonde and quiet and avoidant. She’s part of the resistance. The police enforce their law with flying potatoes, fifty times their normal size, bristling with antenna. Fall 1990? 2. I’m driving a […]
