They're picking up the pieces after a nuclear war. They sit around for a while feeling the warmth, touching their pealing skin, and looking. Looking for life. Looking for a store that's open. The only thing they find is destruction. Life incinerated. The color screen turned black and white. Objects... Sign in to see full entry.

A woman sleeps She's awakened by banging She gets out of bed Heads in the direction It softens She's almost on top of it She bends down The devil burst through the ground Eyes without color Opens his mouth Shoots his eel tongue down her throat Razor blade between his teeth Slices her throat back and...

Ketchup or mustard with your deep-fried fingers?
There is a father and son who do not speak. The son puts his fist through the bedroom window. He examines the blood and tiny pieces of glass mixed in his arm. He goes to the living room and holds his arm to drip on his fathers cross-word puzzle. His father looks up. He takes him to the hospital.... Sign in to see full entry.

Mechanical head twists slowly towards a napalm sky Oil dripping from the corners of his mouth Hope anywhere? Underneath a barbed-wire fence? Have long discussions with rulers from an alternative universe Bring it back here Fire the needle Inject crushing madness into the dry veins of silly appalling... Sign in to see full entry.

Someone better call the fuzz!
Parked watching the surf. Someone's trying to parallel park in front of me. Back, forth. Back, forth. Right, left, left, right. In between I'm focusing on the surf. It's several minutes later and he's still trying even though he was good enough a while ago. I look a little harder. A little brown... Sign in to see full entry.

Bored and Boarded Up
Halloween. A women calls. Invites me with her friends for a drink. That's nice but I don't need her friends nor do I need her with her friends. Me and her don't really get along because she's human. I can see her under a certain context and that's it. So I go to the next beach town over from mine to... Sign in to see full entry.

Life is a many splendid thing in a jar
Every day a man sits in a plain white room. There are no windows just a sink and toilet. He sits in a wooden chair and continues to sit all day long. At exactly the same hour every day a woman enters. She walks over to the wall and pulls a shade with a big blue wave and the sun shinning right above... Sign in to see full entry.

Psalms of the Evil One
Rip-roaring paranoia. Monsters tearing his stomach. Turns his head from side to side. Field of death. Looking for his enemy. He's going to put you all in a cage. He's going to snap each of your bones on his knee and then deep-throat the flesh. His work is never done. He's always hungry. Sign in to see full entry.

Draped over the railing
A girl at the bar sort of draped over the railing. Distinctly American in anger, that is never enough and too much disappointment. She’s in her glory now. Her drunkenness has softened the muscles in her face and now she stares at you trying to play fantasy girl. Her curly hair frames a face of... Sign in to see full entry.

Were you calling me?
He took his skull out one day Lifted it off his head Put his fingers thru the eyesockets Tossed it on the ground And listened to the roll Watching a horror movie from the 1950's He took a knife and gutted himself He examined the patterns on his intestines Then compared them to the ones on the screen...
