The Sin Eater 25: There’s Lust in the Backwoods
I’m at home. Just got out of Pizza Hut and I have a full belly. No one around at all. Quiet, til he pulls up, and I hear Billy Joel. The door is open before the knock. He steps in and puts his hands on his waist and looks at his feet. “Get in the…

The Sin Eater 23: Hand After Hand Part 3
I’m like one of those video games where your gun never runs out of ammo. It’s 5:45 a.m. but I’ve only been writing for seven hours. I will finish this story today. I do not yet see the end, but I can’t really do much more of this. This much ugly and this much evil…

The Sin Eater 18: Hand After Hand Part 2

Scribe of the Mountain
Years ago, I entered a contest. All the participants were thrown into a Facebook group. Next day I woke up to a Friend Request and a message. “Hey I live right down the road in a tiny town called Kimberling City. I saw your bike. Saw a picture of you with a beer. We should…

Stick a Needle in My Eye
It had me jumping at first. Twitched a lot. Gasped a lot. I would run, cry out. When the hallucinations hit me, I was about 11 years old. Just started fifth grade. You can read about that night in a blog called Strong Urge to Fly that I posted here a few years ago. It…

The Kingdom 22: Halloween

You can’t understand any writer unless you know their work. So Friday we began at 6 p.m. and I will release…
