Neck 7/15/21

Editorial note: the concept in this short story is very graphic and disturbing, even to me, and even as a work of pure fiction. Read at your own risk.

Hero 5/8/21

that’s a long time ago in the fame game. It’s rare that anybody asks for my autograph these days.

Santa and the Pfeifengaf 12/23/20

First Night 12/11/20

A little over a week ago, I bought this house. Built about 120 years ago, I expect it to have a few problems. This is a true and honest account of my first night in my house.

The Chase 9/27/20

Ugh 5/11/20

so sore. What did I do yesterday? I can’t really remember, but I’m so stiff. Did I exercise? Every muscle is sore.

The Man in the Bowler Hat 1/16/20

He is a diminutive man, impeccably dressed but his style is about a century out of date.

That was marvelous, but Nicholas looked at the sleigh. There was still something missing.
