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…

The Coming of Normal Street
I am here today with bated breath. Maybe gasping breath. Is nervous breath a thing? Well, some sort of breath to reveal the cover for my upcoming release. Here it is, the front and back cover for Reality of the Unreal Mind Vol. 2: Normal Street. Bekah and I actually live in the same town…

Aftermath Guardian’s War 19 / Rise of the Tellers 1: Morning
Bekah pulled up to my apartment, and I was waiting outside in the February night for her. I climbed into her car and closed the door. “You are my life,” I said. “I want nothing but you for the rest of my life.” Bekah stepped on the gas and eased around the parking lot. “I…

Aftermath Guardian’s War 18: A New Day Dawns
I walked through timeless windows,Gazing toward each passing life.They held so much old grief for me,And such little delight.

“Do you love him?” I ask, and she looks at the bed under me for a moment and shakes her head. “No, I don’t love him. I just like him, and I can’t do this anymore,” Bekah says. She is talking. She is saying something, and I need to be focused on her, but every…

Aftermath Guardian’s War 13: Two Pull
The following story includes the Spanish language. I’m not versed in this language and was forced to use an online translator. I’m not sure how accurate it is. I mean no offense if it’s wrong. So, one of the great miracles that Sunshine pulled off was this one right here. Just watch what she does…

Aftermath Guardian’s War 12: A Trip Through Hell
Dungeons and Dragons became a tool. Not right. A path. Again not exactly it. Maybe a blade? Yeah, let’s go with that. Dungeons and Dragons became a blade that I used to lance all my blisters and festering wounds. It was about 2002 when it began to mean something else. It took shape in the…

Aftermath Guardian’s War 11: The Call
When Mumble and Horrid moved to Springfield, I used to go to their house about once a week. On the way to their house was a structure of madness. The drive took you through a few bad neighborhoods and through one, not so bad, where a collection of big old houses lined up proud and…

Aftermath Guardian’s War 10: The Sun Worshipper
We have to take a minute and look at the things Sunshine is doing in the background here because, damn. After Urgent left, Sunshine jumped to action fast. Within a week she had me in to a family practice doctor for a checkup. I had been gaining weight for a while. Since my suicide attempt…
