    I sometimes wonder what Stone would have done. When we found out that Grasp was molesting children, when Stone found out Grasp was molesting his grandchildren, what would he have done? I do not know. I cannot say, but if he had made that call, things would have been different. In the face of pleasing…

    “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…

    No one ever to my knowledge touched his medicine tray. We all knew where it sat. There was a kinda wide hallway that went from the front of the house to the back. Off that hallway was the tiny bathroom. Right as you entered it, to the left sat a chest of drawers. On top…

    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…

    MSU was beginning to put together a Folklore class when I was there, but I was fighting Guardian’s War and I never got to take it. This is my attempt. See, folklore as I know, it is an oral tradition. A tradition where the Storyteller can move and shift the story as they want. It’s…

    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…

    Update. Writing this book has not been easy on me or my family. Two of the Lost Boys have come back. One of them I won’t tell you about. He carries the filth of Aunt Easy and others on him, and he is so disgusted by himself that he laid on the altar for over…

    Me and Ty went through a Simon and Garfunkel phase. I am just a poor boy Though my story’s seldom told I have squandered my resistance For a pocketful of mumbles Such are promises I copied the tape so I could practice for our rides and I was getting good. I had all the harmonies…

    He came and got me for this one. He landed that Wal-Mart job that winter. He was a night cleanup man. Big machines like Zambonis that, only four feet tall and five long, had to go over the entire store. The bottom had a squeegee on it and that became Uncle Ball’s life. Every Tuesday…

    There were so many things going on at this time in my life that I really can’t nail any of it down. I’m going to throw a few things around. Let’s call it a few hands of poker. Some are wins where I pull in the pot. A lot of them are losses, times I…
