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… Continue reading The Coming of Normal Street

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… Continue reading Aftermath Guardian’s War 19 / Rise of the Tellers 1: Morning
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. While searching down each alley,Between each passing pane,I found a new directionAlong a guarded lane. The window, cracked and jagged,A danger to crawl through.But deep across its landscape,The horizon I’m drawn to. It’s not a painted… Continue reading Aftermath Guardian’s War 18: A New Day Dawns
Aftermath Guardian’s War 17: Summit
“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… Continue reading Aftermath Guardian’s War 17: Summit
Aftermath Guardian’s War 15: Moving Day
I woke up and I had a few things to do before going to Bekah’s house and helping her move into her new place. I took my shower. I was out the door with Sunshine to get to therapy. Siren was supposed to come pick me up, but she had a meeting at work. I… Continue reading Aftermath Guardian’s War 15: Moving Day
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… Continue reading Aftermath Guardian’s War 13: Two Pull
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… Continue reading Aftermath Guardian’s War 12: A Trip Through Hell
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… Continue reading Aftermath Guardian’s War 11: The Call
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… Continue reading Aftermath Guardian’s War 10: The Sun Worshipper
Aftermath Guardian’s War 8: Madness
I only have pieces. There was a three-day stretch of time shortly after I moved into South Towers where I broke loose of reality, and for that amount of time, I became a kind of amalgamation of Artist and Teth. I became something both riotously creative and utterly savage at the same time. I will… Continue reading Aftermath Guardian’s War 8: Madness
