With her dagger ready she glides inches from the ceiling and into the … Continue reading Pub Fight
Journal Entry 3: William S.
I watched the sun brake over the horizon, it was magnificent. I took a stroll after my nightly romp with the young Constance.

The Hangman
Waves crash their timeless beat on the gargantuan metal legs of the Gates, a bridge that stretches across the ocean connecting two masses of land.

I have a friend named Hanna, I've known her since kindergarten. And since then she had a stuffed horse named smoky, she's twenty-three now. Don't get me wrong there isn't anything wrong with having a stuffed animal, but taking it to the movies with you because you know its going to be scary, that’s a … Continue reading Smoky the Horse
Ain’t Nothing like a Dame
The door bursts open from the weight of Wayne’s body thrown against it. His hat goes flying ten feet away from where his head smacks into the concrete, and he lies there with his tuxedo scuffed at the knees, the collar torn, and the tie hanging limply over his shoulders. His cheekbones are swollen and … Continue reading Ain’t Nothing like a Dame
