The Decrepit CopseTop Story - March 2024
Zilch wandered down from the mountain after discovering an indescribable treasure at its peak. An old juggler dared him to climb the mountain, but first gifted him a magic cap. Zilch felt silly wearing it—it was a jester’s hat, after all!—but it bestowed physical strength, endurance, and a level of awareness that helped him avoid and overcome the dangers of the mountain paths.

Solar Array
The Judgment of Paris is an ancient Greek myth about an event which is said to be the root cause of the Trojan war. Zeus holds a banquet for the marriage of Peleus and Thetis, who would go on to conceive the great hero Achilles. He neglects to invite Eris, the Goddess of Discord, who takes it as a slight.

Garbage in the Gutter
Introduction This is a series of poems I wrote from the gutter, so to speak. Like Bukowski on a bender, I was in a cynical yet whimsical state of mind. This is not an apology, for I cannot help but note that these sentiments, though off-putting to polite society, still hold true, as is so often the case. I am shifting away from this sort of work, but I feel that it came from such a genuine place that it should be published for posterity.

CREATION MYTHTop Story - February 2024
Introduction Among my favorite tropes in storytelling is the creation myth, which always amounts to an impossible story about how things came to be which is nevertheless more appealing and resonant than the boring old facts.

Horror to Culture
A friend of mine started a page devoted to horror. It’s a worthy project from someone I know who has both a depth of knowledge on and a genuine love for the subject, as do I; so, when Mike asked if I would like to contribute, I was grateful.
