Voodoo Dues
CHAPTER 3 Rene’s SUV was still sitting across the street from the bar when I arrived. I pushed the door buzzer chanting a mantra in my head, ‘Don’t look, don’t look!’ Lian answered the door looking more than rumpled. He had no jacket or vest on, his sleeves were pushed up to his elbows, his dark hair stuck up at odd angles like he’d been running his hands through it all night.

His eyes were fixed ahead, intent on finding the exit to the forest.

The Ward
It was a sad day for all involved. The Willard family crypt welcomed another two family members into its cold marble embrace - victims of an apparent murder-suicide that had left little Jenna Willard orphaned, and unable to speak about what she had witnessed. People paid their respects, told her they were sorry, and left. Someone had suggested that, given the circumstances, a wake would be inappropriate.

I Loved Being Maurice More Than Howie Mandel
Halloween 2020 has been really rough on my heart. Because of the way things played out for me through the pandemic and such, I just couldn't make a costume work this year. I figured I would take this opportunity to highlight one of my personal favorites from the past years.

Why Your Halloween Costume is Like Your Dating Profile
Halloween: The one day of the year we can dress as crazy, funny, or as slutty as we want and it’s actually acceptable (for the most part).
