fickshun

I started a bar to become a writer. I cordoned off an arena. I secured myself a control group. And I set about swiping their stories. Their trials became mine. My pen stabbed the words from mid-air li...

delta snow

They're calling for snow tonight. All the old-timers are falling for it, too. Hook, line, and fuckin' sinker. Hasn't been long enough since the last time it snowed. Oh, it was a while ago. Since the l...

suddenly it's as clear as clear can be

Give me a big, green balloon. I want one big enough with enough helium to raise me on my tiptoes. Give me the illusion I'm struggling to keep myself grounded while reaching for something way over my h...

stop me if you've heard this one (x-post)

If this has been theorized before, please forgive me. I mean, like before I brought it up to a few people a couple months back. If not, I'm a man of genius and beard. Slather me with love.Garfield. I'...

not on my watch

It has come to my attention society is unwilling to concede the potential for a zombie outbreak. I will now assume the duty of preparing myself and those I love for this very real threat. John Paul, I...
