    MSU was beginning to put together a Folklore class when I was there, but I was fighting Guardian’s War and I never got to take it. This is my attempt. See, folklore as I know, it is an oral tradition. A tradition where the Storyteller can move and shift the story as they want. It’s…

    It went on. I started to dread seeing him at times. Sometimes I would call him just to see what he was doing. He would come over and talk, or we would go for a ride. Things would be good for a while. He would be funny. I would see him in there again. Then…

    You never got much notice on a thing like this. Maybe a day, maybe two. Rose complained, but the women of the Mocking family have little power, and she knew not to fight it. “Just remember he’s a pathological liar,” Rose said as I made for the door. “You can’t believe anything that Ball says.…

    Update. Writing this book has not been easy on me or my family. Two of the Lost Boys have come back. One of them I won’t tell you about. He carries the filth of Aunt Easy and others on him, and he is so disgusted by himself that he laid on the altar for over…

    Me and Ty went through a Simon and Garfunkel phase. I am just a poor boy Though my story’s seldom told I have squandered my resistance For a pocketful of mumbles Such are promises I copied the tape so I could practice for our rides and I was getting good. I had all the harmonies…

    Me and Ty went through a Simon and Garfunkel phase. He had a car and I didn’t. It was a white compact car and it had been his father’s. We were both in choir and we were both stars. He took Simon, I took Garfunkel. Simon is lead. We learned every word. I learned every…

    He came and got me for this one. He landed that Wal-Mart job that winter. He was a night cleanup man. Big machines like Zambonis that, only four feet tall and five long, had to go over the entire store. The bottom had a squeegee on it and that became Uncle Ball’s life. Every Tuesday…

    I don’t want to be here. I just went to a graduation party for a kid who is really important to me. I wrote all through last night, almost 11,000 words, starting with Aunt Easy Part 1 and ending where you just turned the page. I want to go hang out with my family. I…

    There were so many things going on at this time in my life that I really can’t nail any of it down. I’m going to throw a few things around. Let’s call it a few hands of poker. Some are wins where I pull in the pot. A lot of them are losses, times I…

    “I heard that you have a new friend,” Uncle Ball said to Shadow. Shadow had no idea who this person was except that he was important, and that he was fun, and that he was dangerous. Nothing scared Shadow, and after a few hours of this guy talking to Rose, Shadow found himself in the…
