I held my hand on my warm, wet chest, morbidly picking and poking at the throbbing marks of the claws on my flesh. I dropped my simple wooden spear, black with the charring in my fire, rough from the sharpening by my knife, and stained with the blood of the thing that attacked me. It … Continue reading Mycelium
It’s Been a While
Boy howdy, it feels weird to write on this blog again. In theory, this is an announcement for anyone who comes across it, but I have no idea if anyone will see this, and I don't really care. I guess this is more for me than anything else. A lot has changed for me, and … Continue reading It’s Been a While
A Leave of Absence
To the two of you masochistic enough to keep up with my work, I've got three things to say. First of all, thanks for sticking around this long, friend! I'm glad you enjoy the things that I make. Secondly, I'm sorry about the numerous schedule slips. Things have been hard to keep track of, but … Continue reading A Leave of Absence
The Curious Case of Rebecca Murdoch: Part 5, The Road to Nowhere
Getting this story down on paper isn’t exactly a pleasant experience, but I at least thought that I remembered all of the details. I thought that I remembered everything there was to know. I guess, in a sense, I was right. However, as I started to write this down, going back over some of these … Continue reading The Curious Case of Rebecca Murdoch: Part 5, The Road to Nowhere
The Space Between Seconds
Clocks stop and people perish. In the space between seconds. - The Blessed rise with no goodbyes While those on Earth skip straight through time In the space between seconds. - The damned will stay, their souls decay In the space between seconds. - Growth will cease and rot increase. The world will sink beyond … Continue reading The Space Between Seconds
The Curious Case of Rebecca Murdoch: Part 4, Down the Rabbit Hole
My phone trembled, drenched in sweat from my palms and my cheek. My body felt hot and cold all at the same time, and it took me all of the will I could muster to say, “Oh. That must be quite a shock.” “How did you know he was shocked?” for the last time, she … Continue reading The Curious Case of Rebecca Murdoch: Part 4, Down the Rabbit Hole
The Curious Case of Rebecca Murdoch: Part 3, A Friendly Chat
I don't remember much of the journey that followed, mostly because there was nothing to remember. I was thrown into what was probably the back of a van, hitting my head pretty hard on the floor. I don't think I was concussed, but my head throbbed with pain nevertheless. Based on the sounds I heard … Continue reading The Curious Case of Rebecca Murdoch: Part 3, A Friendly Chat
The Girl in Green
She kisses my cheek With the lips of gentle breeze. She sings, and she laughs With the birds and the crickets. She smiles sweetly With a pearly white crescent. She pierces me with deep blue eyes That sparkle with a thousand stars. - She’s firm with soil and soft with lush and dewy grass. She’s … Continue reading The Girl in Green
The Curious Case of Rebecca Murdoch: Part 2, A Night of Surprises
“Yeah?” A raspy, grouchy voice said. My grip on my phone tightened, despite my sweating. “Uh… Alex Murdoch?” “That’s me. And you would be?” “Right, um, Jennings, Dr. Jennings. Your daughter came to see me just today-” “Who, Rebecca?” “Yeah, Rebecca.” I’m not sure, but I think I heard him mumble something about approval. “How … Continue reading The Curious Case of Rebecca Murdoch: Part 2, A Night of Surprises
The Curious Case of Rebecca Murdoch: Pt 1, First Impressions
In all of the years I’ve known her, I have never truly understood Rebecca Murdoch. She never seemed to look precisely right, but it was quite difficult to pin down what was so strange about her manner. Her emotions always seemed somewhat stunted, but she almost always had a strange, somewhat forced looking grin on … Continue reading The Curious Case of Rebecca Murdoch: Pt 1, First Impressions
