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 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…

The Sin Eater 16: One Day
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…

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…

In the Name of the Father 10: Harmony Part 2
As I grew, the men of the church respected me more and more. Rose was in a hurry to tell me every time word got back to her about how they felt or how they thought about me. Brother Justice took me and Nozzle to a car show once. He had a vintage automobile and…

In the Name of the Father 7: Harmony Part 1
I had never felt anything like it before. I don’t even think it was the sermon that brought me out of my seat in the pew and forward to the pastor’s call. It was the way I had felt since I walked in the building. I had been told to shake all the men’s hands…
