Tell Me A Story

Words are shot at us like bullets all day long. “Good morning.” “Glad to see you.” “Where’s that spreadsheet?” “Would you like coffee?” Some things that we are told are nothing but a crock. Lies, is another word. “The check is in the mail.” “I love your hair.” “I think you’ve you lost weight.” But […]

Constancy

The Second Edit, or, Why Would I Read This Crap Twice?

I have embarked on a journey of extreme discomfort. As American troops advanced through territory during the Vietnam war (technically not a war. A declaration of war was never made.

Episode Fifty Seven: “Just A Really Boring Day”

Well, peasants, it’s here. The story has taken much longer than I had thought it would, and this is not truly the end, it’s just a less inconvenient place to stop the story. I would love to tell more stories of Quin and Tannenbaum, but I truly feel that their stories could better be told […]
