Buzzards, bread, and cardinals.
The whole family gathered around the fire for our seasonal burning of dried cornstalk. While my brothers and sisters were captivated by the swirling glow, my eyes were captured by the sky. Beyond the field of golden rye, a buzzard circled the pasture.

One Pizza at a Time
They say that hell is other people, which turns out to be literal given the number of people I see below. You can’t see the ground in this valley of Hell because of all the people in it. I sigh and begin hiking down the slope.

Pitch Black
The VOID Dimension was to be in 1991, and the boss named VOID Secret was in 1993 I suppose, but don't worry, they were hidden good at the moment when the Other Dimension were trying to kill them honestly, but, the VOID was very strong, so nothing can stand a chance for this.

Amy Porter & the Potty Poltergeist
An F? How could have have gotten an F on her assignment. Amy went to Professor Barnes after class to get an explanation. The professor sighed & said, "Miss Porter, you were to write an essay about the fall of the Olmec Empire. You gave me erotica featuring characters from Monk."

Bitter Wishes
My deepest wish is to destroy the entire universe. I wanna destroy the entire universe and recreate it into one where everyone can achieve their wildest dreams. That is the reason why I decided to learn how to create wormholes, to connect other areas of spacetime to change lives.

The Streets Will Run Red with Marinara
A long time ago…there lived a chimney sweeper and his family, who ran a not very well-known chimney sweeping business in a very distant and isolated town you probably have not heard of. Now the chimney sweeper and his family have often tried to do their best, as they were poor

Death and Tartar: Part II
"How do I return to life?" I asked the angel. "There is no way," the angel told me, "you should just live your life in happy bliss as you are expected to." Suddenly, I saw Geovani, prince of the Ta-Ta Tartar Sauce empire, walk towards me. "They have endless tartar sauce here!"

The Jazz Pianist's Dream
It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly, a shot rang out!
This little place at the edge of everything.
The Diner At The End Of The World sits on the edge of a great cliff that leads to the gnarling waters of the Atlantic below. Although nauseating for some, for others it was something short of a strange sight to be seen, especially in the fog of an early morning when it’s red glow

Don't Play With Your Food
Once upon a time there was a tomato with googly eyes and a mustache that was sold on the shelves next to the Mr and Mrs Potatoe head dolls and came alive when people weren't watching. These dolls weren't very popular because they were squishy and therefore hard to play with.

Master of Your Domain
Elaine and George had planned to meet at the diner. They were surprised to find that it was now a chain drugstore. They went to Starbucks instead. Elaine asked “have you heard anything from Kramer since he left the city?” George sighed. “Yeah, he’s gone off the deep end.”

Cheesy Weezy
Reid walked through the doors of the official Coachella Tragedy Memorial. As she snuck into the restaurant, getting past the workers, she felt no remorse. Instead, she programmed the speakers to play the music that, 7 years ago, hijacked some people’s heads. This piece? It made

A Voice from the Void
Da war eine Geschichte voller Sachen und so
I’ll see you
In evenings like this I think of her. In evenings like this I feel suffocated with thoughts of her departure. After 146 days of floating in space on my own, I still cannot shake the bitter farewell playing a torturous loop in my head.

The Pixie's Cage
She seemed tired and her gaze was always lost on the horizon, but she was alert. Her long dark hair fell to her narrow waist to rest in a small cage where she reclined. Inside was me.

Blinky’s Lament
I'm the “smart” guy, at least that's what everyone calls me. I have many other skills and hobbies but I get the “smart” label just because I get straight A’s, it's not hard for me you know? I don’t even pay much attention, I just catch up with the subject at the last chance.
