    My Apocrypha 24: Jackie

    It started in Uncle Savior’s garage, I guess. He showed me his project car. It was a Nova, and we were off. I remember mentioning it to a guy who, in this series, I have called Nova. Then Trashy. She is watching me and Bekah get together one night, when Bekah has drank too much…

    My Apocrypha 18: The Professor’s Pizza

    It’s time, I think, Bekah thinks it’s time, for me to tell you about the weirdest pizza I ever made. I talk a lot about Pizza Hut, and so many of you have eaten so many different kinds of pizzas. The other day, I ate a cheesesteak pizza. I had a girl call up one…

    My Apocrypha 8: Shadow’s Runaway

    I never asked her for her name. It wasn’t like that. Pizza Hut and I am closing. It’s a Friday, and that means I don’t get out until one a.m., and I told Bubbly I had a ride. She wanted to wait at the restaurant for me, but after about twenty minutes of arguing as…

    My Apocrypha 6: The Connected Guy

    I didn’t go to my Senior prom. I felt trapped by Mary into going with her and I couldn’t make myself do it. Prom night I spent at Harvard’s house playing Dungeons and Dragons and stick fighting. After the game, we turned off every light in his house and hid. He stayed downstairs with Brett…

    My Apocrypha 5: No, You Do Not Wanna Do That

    So imagine what it’s like to be my niece or my nephew. First of all, I love them all dearly. They mean the world to me. And usually, as a kid, they’re apathetic to me. You have to be a little sophisticated in order to truly appreciate my level of chaos. The magic number is…

  • My Apocrypha 2: Goof on the Roof

    My Apocrypha 2: Goof on the Roof

    Goof on the Roof was a Waynesville-St. Robert phenomenon. I’m not sure how many of you people remember this, you people who were there in ’89. It was in the paper, in the ads. There was commercial time bought from the radio station, KJPW. They played country, country & western, and me and Less always…

  • The Kingdom 23: The Keep

    Here we go again. Welcome to the blog blast of the section that I call The Kingdom from the book Reality of the Unreal Mind, Vol. 3: The Keep. The Kingdom is an explanation of the work itself. You can’t understand any writer unless you know their work. So Friday we began at 6 p.m. and I will release…

  • The Shieldmaidens 7: Misty Part 2

    And I bow as I step onto the dance floor, and the strings strain, and the bodies around us move. Bodies of abusers and saviors. Rose dances with Olsen, Destiny with Tiger. The music plays, we all twirl, and I take each of the next stories out onto the floor. The waltz is the most…

  • The Round Table 5: Bravo Part 1

    Yesterday was release day for a book I wrote called Beacon, book one of the Nation of Five series. The book is about young men and an impossible task they set before themselves. Well, I know a lot about impossible tasks. I’m a DID survivor who suffers from hallucinations. I have bipolar and Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder. Getting…
