    Does the Lord delight in my work? The question came to me after a talk with Sasquatch. See, my work is dark. I wrote Chaste and was told by a reviewer that it was evil. She told me she and her husband did not want a Jesse Teller book ever sent to them again. There…

    “The last order of business today is, should we allow Jesse Teller to leave Harmony?” Pastor Haste said. A grumble dropped like a pattering of rain on the crowd at the Wednesday night Business Meeting as the motion hit the floor. Servant sat in the back of the church, looking with a deep sadness and…

    I said a cuss word and my mother slapped me. This is not unnormal. Mothers have been slapping cursing kids for as long as there have been mothers, cursing, and kids, but this time she did it with a snarl. “How dare you use that language in my house!” she snapped. She lifted her fist…

    We were walking in the street by Sasquatch’s house late at night on a Friday. “I don’t know about you but this was how my friends and I used to do it,” he said. “Just walk the road. Right down the middle of the street in the city. You get out of the way of…

    “For the love of all that is fuck, this girl has an ass like ‘yes, please,’” Shadow said. Arthur smiled and nodded. He looked me up and down, then back into my eyes with interest. “Long hair, about to the breasts. Very straight. She tucks it behind her ears. Face of an angel. Smile of…

    “This mutha fucker right here.” Servant pointed at the holiest man he ever knew in front of the entire congregation of Harmony Baptist Church, and no one gasped. No one stood up and yelled him down. He is the most devout of us all. Servant is a saved Christian doing God’s work. Watch very carefully,…

    I guess it was about four months ago. I’m thinking now that it might have been five. Not six. I had stayed up Around the Horn. Quite like I am doing today. This means that I did not sleep last night at all and I will not go to bed until midnight. It is usually…

    Ten months earlier we were watching Rayph play on the floor in our living room and Bekah looked at me with sadness on her face and motioned to him. “He looks lonely,” she said. I looked at him and in that moment she was right. He did look lonely. I had known he would. When…

    Christmas 2005 and me and Bekah have opened all of our presents before going to her parents’ house and we look around the house. We look at the tree. We look at each other and we can feel it. There is a gaping hole here. Something is missing from our lives. Someone. Not long after,…

    My birthday was one day off of Grasp’s. Every time I had a party or celebrated at all I thought of him all day. So to break this problem wide open I decided to celebrate my half birthday. My birthday would come and go unmentioned but when the half birthday came around we would go…
