A note on this. The thing about this story is that it didn't begin the way it ended up. It was meant to be a story about a man who met his last love in life. As I sat on the story though the idea changed. It became about a man who was more than,… Continue reading Last Love – story
Suicide Anthem And DING goes the door and another customer. Hi, hello, how are ya, blah, blah, blah. The same come on to someone I have probably seen a hundred times but can’t remember. That’s the one thing this job has in common with porn – after a while, they all start to look the… Continue reading Suicide Anthem – story
Alexander and the Monsters The boy woke up with a start, heart racing and his forehead sweaty and knew he was not alone in the room. He looked out into the darkness and saw two small pinpoints of orange light that hovered not far from him and he let out a sob. A tear slid… Continue reading Alexander and the Monsters
Dedicate It’s ugly, what we do in the name of love. Wielding it like a weapon against the world, more often than not against the ones we claim to adore the most.

I swear, ever since he turned sixteen he’s never around. If he isn’t out in his car he’s in… Continue reading Hid – story
This is part two of the duo, the dark side of the mirror, if you will. To every light there is a shadow. Something to keep in mind. Without There is no sense in siphoning water from an empty well. There is no light in an empty cave. A desert knows no hope. I laugh.… Continue reading Without – a poem
This is part of a duo, the companion piece to come later. I wrote essentially from two sides of the mirror, and this is one of the sides. With With you I am complete. I am - whole strong beautiful. In your eyes I see the glimmer of a secret heart I barely even know.… Continue reading With – a poem
This was a story first published In BARE BONE. Sorta silly but creepy and fun. The Things in the House The things in the house know when They are gone. Until then, the things hide like children, beneath stairs, in cupboards, in walls. When darkness creeps over the flesh of the house, the things slip… Continue reading The Things in the House – story
This is a story that was first published in an issue of the defunct CTHULHU SEX. And, can I tell you that I HATE the funky way WordPress fucks with stuff I cut and paste from Word. Can I do that? UGH! MurderLove She looked up at the clock and, realizing what time it was,… Continue reading MurderLove – a story
