It’s so quiet after the loud music stops playing and the curtains finally fall. I can feel myself again in the lack of sound. I can finally hear myself breathe. I’m not sure what to say. The stage had been filled with them, though. Them: the sex goddesses. Or at least acolytes to her vast … Continue reading Chicago
Of Mermaids and Diabolical Acne
When I wanted to go straight out with comedy...and a mermaid romance. A long time ago. Chapter One: Of Mermaids, Jumbo Shrimp, and Klingon Honor For once, Jake was truly grateful for his graveyard shift at the aquarium. The day had been horrible as days can be for a kid with zits rivaling leprosy, but … Continue reading Of Mermaids and Diabolical Acne
Scraps of Wings
Just a scene I wrote for fun for some future story of mine a loooong while back. Uber melodramatic. Got some action and blood in it too. Yay. All the giggles and mocking. Wings stretched high to the eye-tearing blue sky with feathers as white as the clouds. He reached for the sky with his … Continue reading Scraps of Wings
Copper of Asther
Ah! My nose! It itches! The sun surrounded her like a layer of hot metal. Asther could even taste the metallic taste of heat on the air—delicious air, which she breathed in deep lungfulls. The sandstone crumbled in orange-pink dust beneath her shoes and hands as she crouched with her other sisters, their eyes out … Continue reading Copper of Asther
Of Palest Ebony
Another story idea I played around with for a bit. Probably isn't going to go anywhere. The cell was dark and cool, like a pantry. Unpleasant smells filled it: urine, old body odor, stale food, stale straw—but underneath it all was a tantalizing smell of wet stone and something akin to rain. It was almost … Continue reading Of Palest Ebony
Daughter of a God
Mother always told me I was the daughter of a god. Uncle Ree always told me what a shame it was that she was a crazy whore, for mother was beautiful. If Uncle Haputt ever heard, I was sure to hear the scrabble of their fighting on the roof. He didn’t like it when Uncle … Continue reading Daughter of a God
Track Worms
Back when I was 17, after I had just moved in with the father I barely knew, I would go running in the mornings during the free hour in-between the 6am Seminary and school. I'd pull on my old dance pants, my sports bra, and an old gym shirt and run around the track in … Continue reading Track Worms
Links to Published Books Fixed
I just thought I'd let you all know that I fixed the links and updated them. I put them back up on Amazon too because, you know, I don't have high ambitions for them. They've happened. They're there. They're all $3 and lower, so that's almost an entire gallon of milk! I like milk. Don't … Continue reading Links to Published Books Fixed
Grease in Zion
Another one of my short story ideas that helped in the fruition of another story. I like to say it's of a 'grease punk' genre, whether that exists or not. It basically has to do with a modern day slave who works in large boiler rooms like the one I use to work in college, … Continue reading Grease in Zion
Tiger and Bird
This is the first chapter of a post-apocalyptic, uh, anthropomorphic story I tried writing. Tiger and Bird by T.S. Lowe Chapter One "Weird we should save her just to have her die." Lei gave Jin a hard look. Jin didn't meet it, preferring the thick, short claws of his bare feet. Round circles of calluses … Continue reading Tiger and Bird
