My Apocrypha 12: Breakfast in Bed
I’m afraid of water. When I was six, Char threw me in the waters of White Creek in Wisconsin. He had been laying Less on his arms at water level, teaching her how to paddle with her arms. He had lowered her and she had spit, and he raised her back up. He talked her…

My Apocrypha 11: Servant’s Garden
Gonna get through this one as fast as I can. Try to make you understand why Servant is the way he is. Try to show you the most important thing in his young life and how it was taken from him. He doesn’t really want to talk about it. Never has wanted to talk about…

My Apocrypha 10: Guardian’s Nazis
After what Ronin did in front of Cheech, things had to change, and Cheech was going to make sure they did. See, all of the guys in the dorm treated me as if I was a cute pet. They saw me whining about a girl, saw that I couldn’t land a lay, and they just…

My Apocrypha 9: Ronin’s Victim
Cheech and I went to Lambert’s. It’s a restaurant out near Branson. Your meal is brought to you in a large steel pan. The meal itself is refillable. If you eat your entire pork steak, they will bring you another. Every meal comes with two sides. They walk around with extras, fried okra, fried potatoes.…

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 7: Artist’s Strippers
So Tony got married in 2000. He pretty much knew she was the one from the first time he saw her. She was lean and gorgeous with the greatest sense of humor I had seen in a woman since Bekah. I am going to call her Claws. I call her this because she made fun…

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 4: Urinate and Defecate
It’s hard for me to explain the effect it has on the house when a child has been molested and the authorities have been called. I’m talking about the effect on the house, not the effect on the person who made the call, or the child who’s been hurt. It’s the rest of the house.…

My Apocrypha 3: Jasmine’s Scarf
This is the story of a broken girl crumbling. This is the story of a single garment. This is a story about Ronin, I guess, and a driveway. This is a story of the Waynesville High School Mafia. The Mafia was started by accident, I guess. A slip of the tongue made by an, at…
