My Apocrypha 26: The White Pipe
And here we are. The White Pipe story. I have been dreading this one. I didn’t really have a plan for this chapter, except that I needed to drop on a sword for a manager that didn’t respect me. I need to stab Mary’s eyes out. Needed to be scared to death by a blood-curdling…

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 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…

The Sin Eater 26: Rabbits
“Just let me lay here for a minute. Trashy’s trying to make me scare everybody off. I just need to lay here long enough for her to leave. I don’t want everybody to leave. I want to be right here. On this bed. Next to you,” Artist whispers to Bekah. A floppy drunken hand plops…

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 20: The Porch
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…
