  Thursday morning at ~2:AM my younger brother was shot on his way home from his job at Taco Bell, at a Circle K in our town.  I imagine he stopped to buy a soda and was accosted by someone demanding his backpack.  The thief then shot my brother and absconded with the bag.   A bag,…

• MMM2020 32:  Project for Completion

  June 1, 2020

  Project for Completion   It's not just the state of the event that brings fulfillment, slots a missing puzzle piece in the chest, and gives a sense of pride.  I find it to be in the creation of the process, the task itself, leading to an adventure, a race against a clock or the self…

  May 31, 2020

  What is this ailment that confounds my soul?  Some sickness, disease, a malady of the spirit, a force that proves less than benign.   I'm pockmarked, beset upon by droves of symptoms.  nauseous, wildly unpredictable, vivid hallucinations of events that have not yet or may never transpire, I am si...

Of course, this proved to spread the ailment further than before.    As the problem grew worse, they declared the problem with t...

• MayMetMo 2020 #28: Leather for Lewd

  May 28, 2020

  She was out on the prowl, from her leather whip to her sewn in cowl.  The skintight leather suit, claws at every end, a rending scowl that would not know enemy from friend.  The Redlight turned on, meant she was out, the things the night dreaded, and filled criminals with doubt.  Black high heels...

• MayMetMo 2020 #27: Hammer for Friend

  May 27, 2020

  It's been spoken, and I've often said, I'd know my kin where they made of lead.   In truth like a puzzle, these pieces fit, and if I had a hammer, I'd certainly prove it. A nail jammed through a hardened place, recursed to show a little faith.  Built-in branches like a tree fort, craftsmanship, q...

• MayMetMo 2020 #26: Story for Ghost

  May 26, 2020

  When what's written on the page becomes sunbleached and weathered with age The yellowed paper leaks ink like blood the horror from before the flood Unread, lost to ravages of time Memorium remembered  but not a single line Death of the author a final nail in the coffin A blow like this to the spi...
