When I was born, there was no happiness; just twenty thousand unassembled brothers and sisters standing behind me on the conveyer belt. When a soul was given to me by the mother computer she did not smile at me or give me a name, she beeped once for completion and worked on the next one. … Continue reading Journal Entry: Serial # 155683-55 B Class
Journal Entry: Penn
The bad men who took my masters home are picking at it like a young vulture at a carcass, highly interested but no real idea where the good meat is. They cannot see or hear me; I am but a phantasm floating in the dark sky. I can see them, I can see the small … Continue reading Journal Entry: Penn
Journal Entry: George
The past couple of days have been extraordinarily dull. I get up and have breakfast, go to work and comeback. Day in day out, all the same, nothing has changed, until today.

Journal Entry: Erica
The car ride to the upper district in the early hours of the morning is always cold and lonely in more ways than one. Tabatha told me the old man paid in full just a couple of hours ago, it’s a good thing he is nice. I park in his driveway a little bit past … Continue reading Journal Entry: Erica

Jacob walks out the front door with a smile and wearing the gift Patricia gave him. “How’s it feel being dressed by a girl?” “Like a dream. This stuff is proper clean, … Continue reading Psycho Bar
Journal Entry: Dr. F
Today was a dull day. I had oat mill again, I’m almost out so I need to go to the shops this weekend. I just went two days ago, it was on my list but I didn’t think it was economical since I still had half a tin, but live and learn. Sometimes I think … Continue reading Journal Entry: Dr. F

“You two need to get some privacy, and stop taking notes.” Jacob says to Andy and Teller. “Go away.” Teller responds. “Leave the camera.” Andy says adjusting the light. “Bring the canola oil.” Edgar grunts as he takes his kimono. Jacob walks away slowly, stopping only to shudder. Memories of threshold thrashing pasts return to … Continue reading Lock Your Windows
Bronzed God
“Solace is sneaking out though the slide again.” Cas says buttering his toast. “I don’t think he knows we can hear him.” Jacob yawns before sipping his coffee. “Your friend is an idiot.” “Hey now, he is your friend, too.” Sitting at the table Cas passes the dish over, Jacob gratefully takes a slice. They … Continue reading Bronzed God

The sun streaming through the window dances across my face, I hate mornings. I don’t want to get up but it’s my turn to do the shopping, I hate mornings. I dislike the way they come every day to remind you they are endless and you are not. I despise the way they bring back … Continue reading Gloria Gillory
